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!
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"
If I sound overly salty about Ubuntu, it's because I've spent more time dicking around with Linux than the amount of time it took me to design and build the entire thing...
Don’t apologize. Desktop Linux distros have been janky as all heck for nearly 30 years now, every sane person knows it, and the ones who don’t need to be told.
@@cereal_experiments I agree. In the last 5 to 10 years, things have changed dramatically and have become more user-friendly. I use it as my primary OS.
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
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.
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.
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!
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
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
First of all hats off to you on the build. Would you ever consider doing something like this with the orange pi offerings? they have 10 inch and 14 inch screens offerings that are also powered off the board.
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
This was AWESOME!! I love seeing stuff like this. I'm trying to come up with a super small cyberdeck that I can use a USB TO XLR cable to a microphone to do my voice-overs when travelling. If I could get it to run REAPER and have my VST plugins I just know it would work!
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.
Классные у тебя работы. Я бы хотел собрать себе компьютер схожей конструкции и мобильности. Но у меня ни опыта, ни понимания того, где искать платы и как накатывать операционные системы для таких самоделок. Но я продолжу следить за твоими успехами и буду радоваться твоим успехам. Ты крут!
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.
This makes me wish I had a 3D printer. Although, I probably don’t have time to put it altogether. Maybe. And I’d rather run a Raspberry PI and do a headless Ubuntu installation just so I could run WordGrinder and nothing else.
Alright I’d love to buy one of these! I’d use it to run arduino programs and scripts 😌 this looks wicked cool! I don’t have any technical skills whatsoever though in terms of soldering or printing 😬 but I’d totally buy one of these! I like it ☺
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.
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
@@CarterHurd probably worth trying something out like mint or fedora then. Or again, set the computer on fire and run away since this very much seems too annoying to fix lol.
Hi Carter! I have already sent you an email but you probably haven't got it. I am looking for a Fusion 360 of the build as I will be using Raspberry Pi Zero and those holes on the back will be unnecessary. Is there any possibility to get those files and modify them? Best Regards
Hi Carter, sick build! Was wondering...would the 3d print also fit the OG80? Any chance to get a version of that? Would love to print one and make a build like this for my og80
@@CarterHurd just saw your listing on ebay. That is a super fair price! should be gone in an instant hehe. Im als in the EU would be even more to get it here hehe.Yeah not much of a 3d artist hehe. Illfigure something out i mainly just want it as a second screen for the PC. use it as stat screen/discord screen hehe. It's such a sick concept..crazy that no other keyboard guys made something like that yet. Except for the chinese version but that's kinda fail imo..the screen is almost flat hehe.
@@CarterHurd same here. I also have the rule that I can only play one game at a time before buying something new. Disco Elysium is next after my current game (Uncharted 4). So how do you like it so far?
Solution for the display scaling: Install Windows or Android. According to my knowledge, these two are the only operating systems with proper scaling support for displays as wide as that.
@Carter Hurd Can it run Android 11...? If so, I would like to get a build of that! It would be easier for me to have a fairly small form-factor unit to pair with my new Feonal Android tablet...
Why would you buy such a full plastic """""mech""""" Keyboard? There are cheaper options with full aluminium cases or atleast silicone dampeners. Even LEGOs sound less plasticy. But the end result really looks slick, i love your design idea
I personally don’t like the higher-pitched sound that you get from most full aluminum cases. If you want to see my optimal keeb sound, I’ve got a custom build video centered around that. Ended up with a plastic case and the sound is great.
Hey bud. Are you doing a contest or something? Hopefully you see this cuz a lot of people are getting reply’s that are saying they are contest winners.
I watched 1 video like this and now RU-vid want's me to build one clearly lol - Linux isn't mainstream ready yet at all and before the fanboys jump me I am a Linux fan boy, typing this on UBUNTU, my main desktop is Manjaro XFCE but I am not going to pretend it's ready for normal people who don't know what bash is. it's not. Any other OS will have had much more accessible and easy to use options for a niche device like that, Linux does not have accessible and easy to use options for the most basic biggest name devices. That's why the battery life on any Linux Distro sucks absolute arse. It's still the best OS ever made though.
@@CarterHurdAaaah, I'm sorry I skipped that part I guess... didn't realize you are running arm so I have no idea. It should, there is a mobile KDE so I think there should be a desktop arm version of it too.
@@CarterHurd xorg should work. Just 'apt install xorg', then log-out (don't turn off), and select xorg from the 'login' page. There should be a little button in the corner of the login page :)
@@barabyjones3784 There is that little button in the bottom corner on the login area, when I switch it over to that mode, and type in the password (default is still khadas), I never get past the login screen, it just looks like it is loading and then plops me right back to the login area
Got to love it when you type up a post about how to fix the resolution, and it gets deleted for some unknown reason, anyway, look into Xubuntu, display settings, resolution, and scaling. If you need more information, replay to this message and I can provide more info.
linux :( oooh hell no i'm done with hours of google/forum searches and copy pasting commands in terminal and entering my bloody password 20 freaken thousand times a day only to find out that after a day worth of effort the thing i want linux to do either cant because of incompatibilities or i've gone so far down the rabbit hole I'd have to reinstall and start from scratch all over. This is the only experience i've had with linux since 2004 and my recent experience with POP OS wasn't cool either the bloody thing wont update anymore without a complete reinstall I give up! Windows 10 I bloody love you! and Win 11 is dead to me lol
How to make it work on latest Ubuntu: sudo apt remove --purge wayland* Seriously, wayland is not ready and probably never will be, and Canonical's choice to go forward with it was terrible.
