Hacking (vWii) - Tri-Core Linux

[TeamScriptKiddies]

It's not a matter of believing me... There's proof earlier in this thread in the form of a screenshot. Behold, the vWii running Ubuntu 12.04 with LXDE over the top.

somehow i missed that! i love u! lol.

what did you use for a graphics driver?

Ninja_Carver the mastermind is currently in my Ubuntu machine (laptop) building the new file system for trinux, and setting up ubuntu and lxde etc

 

[GorTesK]

it's nice to see, that you finally gave him access to your system and that there may be faster progress now (haven't checked this thread in a while and last time I remember, you refused it ^^)

TSK had to leave for work so I guess I'll leave you with an update:
We're back to where we were, with LXDE successfully running on Ubuntu 12.04.

We're unable to get his mouse to work currently, but suspecting it may be a defective mouse since keyboard, LAN, and USB flash all work, and im pretty sure the mouse service is running.

This was all possible bc of Ninja_Carver and his genius! I was more of a testing minion then anything else. But this is amazing! After work tonight I'm going to make a video and post it here. I will also try another mouse out too

Wow, nice job guys!

 

[the_randomizer]

Silly question, but I've been out of the loop and have no idea what progress has been made...?

 

[TeamScriptKiddies]

Wow, nice job guys!

thanks, I'm uploading the video now . Still got a long way to go, but things are finally happening! W00T!

Here's the video:

That's pretty freakin awesome!

That's pretty freakin awesome!

Ninja_Carver did this in the past, but lost the sd card image file for it, and no longer owns a wii u so things went stale for a while . It took us about a month off and on of experimenting to try to recreate what he did, but we finally got it up an running again today

I'm hoping he'll give me permission to release this current image we have for other tinkerers to play around with

 

[TeamScriptKiddies]

UPDATE GUYS! I got internet working again! Turns out I couldn't run the dhclient command to obtain an IP address because I ran out of free ram to use XD. The trick is to run it as soon as you get into ubuntu/trinux , before you run out of ram XD. We need a swapfile to take care of this ram issue asap. I'll post another video tommorow of the internet working on it.

Why isn't it a part of the init.d anyway? Just make a script to modprobe the nic and set it to be up and run dhclient. Its like five lines tops.

We just haven't had a chance to try that yet. Ill play around with it tonight after work

That disk image already has a swap partition.

swapon /dev/mmcblk0p3

swapon /dev/mmcblk0p3

That helps avoid memory leaks/running out right?

 

[Ninja_Carver]

That enables some virtual memory. Nothing to do with memory leaks. Just gives you a bit more to work with. Should be sufficient for most tasks, sans video editing lol
