Hacking RELEASE Painless Linux - it's Linux, but painless (Windows, Mac OS, Linux & Android)

@natinusala negative, it's a 32gb SDHC

@pretend7979 I can always try my hand at compiling, though in this case I used Natinusala's pre-built image. I also re-downloaded it, though it's worth noting I used the copy on GDrive as I hit a 5 hour wait for the Mega copy.

By chance is there an MD5 laying around for the pre-built image? I'll try a different brand SD card tonight, though it'll be good to verify my copy didn't get corrupted. I was hoping to get the pre-built copy at least booting before I tried building, as a proof of concept if you will.

 

[natinusala]

Don't compile it. Release incoming in about an hour.

 

[seeyew_soon]

I wait eagerly! If I can make a request, please post the MD5 alongside the download link

does this include support for 128gb cards?

No, I wasn't able to find a working fix

So neither https://github.com/perillamint/switch-linux/commit/ec2c0a0bbc388622e35aaa5f5038f6d899fcbbee or https://github.com/fail0verflow/switch-linux/pull/5/commits/0c6a3aae5ccb5eca66c55c5049da9bd709e1c3b7 do the job?

The frequency patch was applied on Lakka, you can try it and tell me if it works.

quick question, if my switch is at 100% when i reboot it into RCM, can i charge it back up to 100% before booting back into horizon to avoid battery calibration issues?

I'm not sure, but another user stated, that letting the battery running low in horizon until it shuts down and then booting into Linux and letting the battery running low there until it shuts down, will fix the desync issue.

 

[DiJornios]

Big noob for Linux payloads, but any reason why sound and Joy Cons don't work just curios because its the trade off for hardware acceleration

welp. I've caught the battery bug. Last night it died at 60%! I hear that unplugging the battery forces it to recalibrate? Should I take my Switch apart?

Yes, if you want your switch working normally on Horizon.

Cool, I'll do that then.

Cool, I'll do that then.

There is another method which is doing a battery cycle on the Switch which can take at least 10 hours, maybe more. (It's called the Nintendo method)

yeah I usually have a charger handy when I play anyway...but I'll probably just do the battery pull.

I'm wondering how hard a hardmod would be to make a switch to disconnect the battery without taking the Switch apart? May not be worth it if a fix is found soon though.

looks like it.
My Switch boots Lakka with a 128 card fine but the touch point of the screen seems a bit off, the Ubuntu Image by cmsj doesn't boot and the PL image is still downloading.

Doing this mod tomorrow...

1) Break negative trace on board going from battery

2) Solder PTB microswitch (push to break) across negative traces you broken in step 1

3) Drill 1mm hole in switch casing above the PTB microswitch...

4) Perfect reset hole simulating a battery pull when switch is pressed and negative connection broken. "reset with paperclip" type jobby

Nice and easy. Will do a write up tomorrow if I remember with pics if I get time.

Pic below gives you an idea. Need smallish soldering skills. I find it easy been doing it 30 years but if you are new to soldering you may fook it.

Not many people would be willing to do this method because they aren't experienced with this type of modding. In my opinion, I rather wait patiently for a software fix.
(Cool method though, thanks)

Dont worry. I do tiny soldering

 

[Centergaming]

Is there audio support for this current image? Just want to know

Thanks for the write up. With my luck I’ll screw it up, but that’s very clever.
