Homebrew [Release] Linux for the 3DS

[Celediel]

no I'm on luma 7.0.4, because everytime I want to update to 7.1, it says failed cause I didn't have arm9loaderhax.bin, but it's literally there

Either install it manually, or install this fork of Luma Updater. If you're not running Luma 7.1, you're not using sighax. Make sure you follow the guide to the letter.

So im running into a bug. When nintendo 3ds login pops up, i type in "root". Then when password pops up, i try to type root, but nothing happens. No key works except for enter.

password is not shown when you are entering it.

password is not shown when you are entering it.

That worked, thanks. What should i type afterwards when it gives me the pound sign and im free to type in the cmd?

You can type "/start-weston.sh", followed by Enter, to start the GUI. Pressing "select" will allow you to control the mouse. You currently can't do much else, unfortunately.

Runs better than linux on my pc somehow. Anyway thanks for the help. Cant wait to see more custom os's on the 3ds.

Well this was updated faster than I thought it would be.

The keyboard doesn't type for the password

you can't use newer Luma versions without updating to B9S. If you alread have A9LH, updating takes around 10-20 minutes.

I already got b9s, at least I think I do

It does type, it just doesn't show what you type. Just type root and hit enter. It's something Linux does to hide passwords

I really hope that boot9strap and other new developments will lead to much increased interest in projects like this. Now that we can do whatever we want with our consoles for the most part, most of what remains is actually doing whatever we want with them! And making a linux distro for the 3DS is a *great* step in that direction, honestly it may even be the best possible step in that direction based on what little I know.

Thanks so much for making this and even updating it to support sighax!

It'll be a pretty big undertaking, since we're still missing a bunch of things in the A9LH/sighax environment:

- No sound
- No touchscreen support (you can draw to the bottom screen, but no way to get input from it yet, as far as I am aware) I stand corrected, Xerpi's apparently added this. My mistake. You can see it in action if you start Weston.
- No wifi

That said, hopefully we see wifi at the very least someday.

Could something similar be used to get, say, NetBSD running on the 3DS?
(crosses fingers)

 

[goose121]

Uh-oh... I'm stuck on a black screen & can't even hold down the power button to power off... This may be a problem. Any advice?
Never mind, I just didn't know how to use New Luma

 

[TheCyberQuake]

It seems the console locks when I try to use /sdmount.sh

 

[WafflesYem]

Does this mean there is a chance that we could get debian or other light distros running natively on the 3DS?

How did you fix this?

 

[HamBone41801]

is it possible to run our own .sh files on this?

were you in desktop mode?
