You Can Make This CyberDeck (IQUNIX Q66)

[@mark7824]

When booting the machine, try pressing "e" while you are in the bootloader and highlight your Ubuntu system. You can then temporarily edit the boot parameters. At the end of the line, add "video=DP-1:1920x510@60" and press Ctrl+X to start the system. If that doesn't work, retry the same procedure but with "video=HDMI-A-1:1920x510@60" instead. Good luck!

[@mark7824]

Oh I forgot to mention, if it works you can make it permanent by adding the same parameter (e.g. "video=HDMI-A-1:1920x510@60" ) to the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg at the end of the line that starts with "linux /boot/vmlinuz"

[@invokduh]

it Works on this project?

[@mrmadiv]

or you can logout of the session and choose gmone xorg version and log on you can change the resolution using xrandr

[@rRhyan]

This feels like such a clean build. Although I kinda wish you would have gone more into how you designed the 3D printed main piece. There seems to be quite some thoughts that went into this and I love seeing your design process

This is ALMOST exactly what I was looking for. My plan was to find someone with a 3d printer capable of taking a special order, print out an enclosure that fit my specific keyboard, a Raspberry Pi 4, and the very panel you seem to have here. This is 95% what I was looking for, amazingly! The only thing off is the keyboard. I have a rather particular keyboard in mind, the ShurikeyGear Saizo 75% keyboard. It's really a work of art, and looks almost exactly like the one you have, just a bit bigger. I'm thinking that your design would only have to be scaled horizontally a little bit and the tolerances checked. Edit: I just checked what Shapeways might charge to have this printed out. It might actually be cheaper to just buy a 3d Printer!

[@CarterHurd]

Make a cad design in Fusion 360 and email it to me. I’ll print it if you just pay shipping, but you’ll have to be patient cause who knows when I’ll get around to printing it

[@gordon7478]

You're not wrong. I got my Ender 3 Pro used for $150 Canadian. Of course I didn't know anything so I ended up needing a new extruder because the plastic ones that come installed have a habit of breaking... and then I needed a new stepper motor because my after market extruder was designed for the older stepper motor shafts 🙄 I think my point is just buy a new one if you have a particular print as a goal rather than a very educational project lmao

[@radomane]

It's probably a simple 1-liner to fix the resolution, but I would guess that the controller board for the screen is likely the source of your troubles.

[@CarterHurd]

Oh I'm 100% sure that it's one of those "it's simple when you know how" sort of things

[@khalidity]

@@CarterHurd wondering if raspberry pi could make the job 🤫

[@JeoshuaCollins]

Everything on Linux is a one-liner when you understand it well enough. The issue is when nobody seems to understand it well enough to write that one-liner. The answer, basically, is probably to use something other than a bog-standard Ubuntu installation, like Mint or KDE Neon or Manjaro in Xorg, and use a more well-known one-liner xrandr scaling command from there.

[@technocricket]

The base is very nicely designed.

I'm interrested of building this, but only with a USB-C secondary screen for terminal ^^

[@TruongVu-s7w]

Screens can be connected via a magnetic connector like a modular, but they often require a strong magnet or a self-locking connector on lightweight devices. Some devices using origami design are very flexible to open and close and save space, although it is not very common because they must be carefully calculated to withstand force if applied to devices

[@osakanone]

Why isn't there a tool which just parses terminal commands into prompt windows with lists and tickboxes before you click send working backwards procedurally from manpages? It could even list the command as its generated as you alter the input. It solves the command discoverability problem (query vs search) and it means people can onboard the terminal faster by using this as a learning tool to see how commands get constructed. It could even be a damn terminal program in and of itself, sort of like a terminal co-pilot.

[@Endelin]

There's a terminal tool called Tealdeer (the command you run is tldr) which shows the most common commands of a given terminal tool.

[@zk_6312]

I have no problem with Linux, but it was never intended to replace windows. It is way better today than it was 10 or 15 years ago. Back then it was difficult to just get WiFi to work.. One thing to remember though is to check the hardware compatibility before you buy said hardware. That is a really strange display though and I am not even sure windows would support that resolution. If you are looking for a operating system that works with most hardware then buy a Windows PC or a Mac, they have much better support. If you are just using compatible hardware and open source software Linux works well. One thing I don't like about Linux is Wine which is used to run windows programs; some work, some don't. In my experience most don't which is really frustrating.

[@CarterHurd]

[@DavidAlastairHayden]

[@someguy9175]

On the startup screen there's a button to switch to x11, you just need to go to the quick settings menu in the top right corner of your screen and press power and then logout. It should be a little gear icon on the bottom right corner of your screen, from then you can just follow the tutorials you mentioned in the vid. If that doesn't works try setting your computer on fire and smashing every garden gnome in a 5 mile radius with a sledge hammer.

[@CarterHurd]

When I click that button and switch to x11, I type in the password (still the default khadas) and when I hit enter it loads for a while and then takes me right back to the login screen, instead of logging me in
