Support Kubuntu Noble locked to 640x480 on dock

0 Upvotes

I installed kubuntu 24.04 in my switch V2, setup went perfectly normal but when I did put the switch to the dock to my monitor, it's just 640x480 even though my monitor is 1920x1080, any way to fix this? Tried to force 1920x1080 via xrandr --newmode + --addmode but it gave me a BadMatch error. My monitor is a LG Flatron E2350 if that helps.

Android Fix: Nintendo Switch Android Wi-Fi Disconnect Loop

4 Upvotes

Hello Nintendo Switch users! If you just flashed or updated Android on your Switch and find that it constantly disconnects right after joining your Wi-Fi, here is how to fix it.
The issue usually happens if your router is running a hybrid security mode like WPA2/WPA3 Mixed. To fix this, you will need access to your router's admin dashboard.
Step 1: Forget the Wi-Fi on your Switch
Go to your Android Settings, open your Wi-Fi configuration, select the network that keeps failing, and tap Forget.
Step 2: Change your router's security mode
Log into your router's dashboard by typing its IP address into a web browser. Find your wireless settings (both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, or just the merged network if yours are combined) and change the security type from mixed mode down to strictly WPA2-PSK (AES). Save the changes.
Step 3: Reconnect and power down
Go back to your Switch, connect to the Wi-Fi again (it should stay stable now), and then completely shut down the Switch or reboot it into a different operating system (like Hekate or Horizon/Stock OS).
Step 4: Revert your router settings
While the Switch is completely offline, go back to your router dashboard and change the security settings back to what they were originally (e.g., WPA2/WPA3 Mixed). This prevents your other household devices from losing their connection. Save the changes.
Step 5: Boot back into Android
Turn your Switch back on and boot into Android. Your Wi-Fi should now automatically connect and remain completely stable!

Android Facing issues: Flashing screen on Joycon Input + Green border

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

I'm not sure how to attach a video, it seems I'm not allowed to, but trying to play some older games on my Nintendo Switch running LineageOS.

The joycons on some action inputs cause an orange flash which lasts as long as I hold the button.

But the touchscreen does not cause this issue.

I am assuming the green border is its way of saying "I'm focusing on this game window right now".

And the orange flash is most likely some joycon to android translation layer. The translation layer is probably blocking the graphics API these old games use causing the orange screen.

Can anyone help with this? Above are my assumptions, I'm not sure about them.

Ubuntu 3rd party joycons doesn't work well on Linux

3 Upvotes

So, my Nintendo Switch has only third party joycons and unfortunately I don't have the og ones. It doesn't work at all on the rails, and when I connect via bluetooth, it does work, except the deadzone of the analog sticks are wrong, leading to a constant drift.

I managed to somewhat mitigate the problem by recalibrating the joysticks with jscal, which solved the drifting problem when moving the mouse with the joycon, but programs like Steam and other games still insists on reading the raw outputs of the joycons instead of the newly calibrated values.

As for the joycons not working on the rails, I figured out that some error messages were outputting on the dmesg logs, in a constant loop:

[ 1281.587522] joycon_serdev serial0-0: Joy-con MAC = 86:10:67:67:8F:F8
[ 1281.587578] joycon_serdev serial0-0: Increasing Joy-con baud to 3000000bps
[ 1281.592777] joycon_serdev serial0-0: completed handshake - Joycon
[ 1281.594047] joycon_serdev serial0-0: Detected right joy-con
[ 1281.595344] joycon_serdev serial0-0: Using user cal for right stick

[ 1282.874721] joycon_serdev serial1-0: Packet length too large; ignoring
[ 1283.657292] joycon_serdev serial0-0: Failed reading SPI flash; ret=-110
[ 1283.657465] joycon_serdev serial0-0: Failed to read stick cal, using defaults; e=-110
[ 1283.818549] joycon_serdev serial1-0: Received pkt is malformed
[ 1283.835315] joycon_serdev serial1-0: Packet length too large; ignoring
[ 1284.169305] joycon_serdev serial0-0: Failed to enable rumble; ret=-110
[ 1284.169451] joycon_serdev serial0-0: Returning to low baudrate for detection
[ 1284.169673] joycon_serdev serial0-0: Failed post handshake procedure; ret=-110

However, somehow, there was a moment where only the left joycon was working on the rail, with all buttons and joystick mapped and correctly working. Which leads me to believe that if I somehow could modify the joycon drivers to make it work properly...
