Homebrew [Release] Linux for the 3DS

[ParzivalWolfram]

I don't find the underscore on the keyboard... I'm not able to run command "exec switch_root /chroot /bin/sh"

Hold either Shift until it turns red. Then the other characters will change and you'll see it.
(the touchscreen only supports one touch at a time, so we use that to allow holding buttons for combos and such.)

What model of 3DS?

 

[Nemos59]

N3DS XL

 

[ParzivalWolfram]

N3DS XL

What caused it?

 

[Nemos59]

dunno, i'm gonna retry to see if i have the error
EDIT: ok, the error happened because i didn't type the command right. After typing it right, I have "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off". Is that good?

I added a picture of what Linux is saying.

Yes, that's right.

A new chainload filesystem has been built. This file should replace "img.ext4" on the root of your SD card.

Download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1tViMomkSikEhJkY3T7AIPbN-KZpPFDos

Changes:

• Added lots of dev tools
• Fixed some of the bugs in "fixdev.sh"
• Image size cut down to 157MB
• Temporarily fixed bug in Xorg (by removing Xorg, will test and fix at some point)
• Added Python 2
• Added a few extra libraries

Please report any bugs found as soon as possible so we can fix them.

I can't understate how amazing @Wolfvak's work on arm9linuxfw has been, thank you so much! Wolfvak does need help fixing bugs, however, so help them out on that if you can. Go here to help: https://github.com/Wolfvak/arm9linuxfw

At this point, it's not gonna get less complex for a while. @Wolfvak and I have more work to do before then. We've added developer tools to help us fix problems and help others build programs, old and new, for the system. The process of simplification will take a while and is nowhere near top priority. Right now we are attempting to fix bugs. Once both binaries have their loadscripts fixed, it will be a two-command affair. That's probably as far as it'll get for some time.

sorry if that sounded rude, that wasn't my intention

A critical bug has been found in the latest "img.ext4" image. A fixed image will be added to this post soon.

Details:

The filesystem is too full to allow /dev to be populated correctly.

Fix:

Size of "img.ext4" is now set to 200MB.

You may have typed the command wrong. It happened to me too, because i didn't typed it wrong.

Is there a desktop environment (like Weston from xerpi's linux)?

I removed Weston/Wayland due to lack of working mouse mode. I tried Xorg with fluxbox, but Xorg didn't like the 3DS.
