Thank you @C0rpVultra for helping me

YES!

EDIT: Oh, only PS4 FAT models are supported at this point.

YES!

EDIT: Oh, only PS4 FAT models are supported at this point.

4.05 PS4 Linux Loader compatibility:
CUH-1216A not working
CUH-1208B not working
CUH-1216 not working
CUH-1216B not working
CUH-1102A working
CUH-1115A working
CUH-1116A working
I will try to fix it soon.
If you can test it on your PS4 please say if that works and your PS4 model.

This is for 4.55 and not 4.05 I see no where it saying fat models only.

It's a port so it's fair to assume any restrictions that applied to the 4.0x version will also apply to the 4.5x version as well.

This is for 4.55 and not 4.05 I see no where it saying fat models only.

And nowhere it says it supports the Panasonic MN864729 HDMI adapter, and believe me, it doesn't even support all the fat models.

It's pretty much just for the 1.76 people who updated since they had early fat models.

Most people can't run this.

I'm not that smart, so can someone explain to me why would someone want to put linux operating system on a game console?

Why not?

that's why I've been sitting on my console for the past one to two years or so. I've just been playing the wii u considering. hehe. I'm on 4.07 atm. I'll update in a week or two.

I think the simple answer is: Because they can. =)

Well if that is the case, okay.

You gotta be fucking kidding me!

 

[DinohScene]

Oh!
Time to update me PS4 to 4.55!

So, now that Linux displays correctly on Slims and Pros does anyone have a img that's compatible? I downloaded a PS4 Fedora img and flashed it to a usb drive but got static fuzz on screen when booting it?
I think the img must be updated with the new display fix?

 

[ploggy]

I'm still not able to get this to work Is there anyone here with a Slim or Pro willing to see if they can get it to work? Linux is not my thing
Preferably the PS4 Fedora img since it has Dolphin, PCSX and Snes built in

This is what happens when I try with the new Slim/Pro fix..

It depends what it's trying to launch, with the 8 penguins at the beginning it looks like the Gentoo image used by Fail0verfl0w, so I would guess it's the old X.org (not Wayland) and it's probably trying to launch the XFCE session.

You should find some info in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kern.log, the location of the X logs have changed lately on Debian (they are in the user home dir but there's Wayland and Gnome involved).

I will take a look if I find time later.

Thankyou, I'm trying to launch PS4 Fedora img and have been following this vid.

UPDATE..
I FINALLY managed to get some sort of Linux distro to run on my CUH-2016A PS4 Slim!
I got Ubuntu to boot by following this tut

Of course I'd much prefer to get the Fedora PS4 img working since it has the 3D drivers support from Failoverflow and has PCSX and Dolphin Emulators built in
I'm guessing the Fedora img needs updating to support the new slim/pro fix??
Ubuntu runs quite slow on PS4
But at least I we can confirm Slims can now display Linux correctly!
Thanks to eeply fro the fix.. https://github.com/eeply/ps4-linux/releases

UPDATE 2: Found this from Logic Sunrise.. http://www.logic-sunrise.com/news-981270-ps4-manjaro-linux-ps4-v1-disponible.html Apparently this Img has a handful on Emulators built in
(In going to try to install this img to see if its any better.... Watch this space)
