you should try linux is so different and have so many different things is so like for programmers xd
If you have the time, you could compile the kernel on your calculator.

...Also you might want to continue the help discussion in another topic that was created for it here: http://ourl.ca/17509/324046;topicseen#new

Else this clutters the main topic a lot. Thanks.
Please do this :) We're happy to help you there.
And it is VERY hard to get internet working on the nspire using Linux. only a few people succeeded in it because you need to make your own hardware iirc.

Hard? Compiling the kernel with included network drivers?

just one last last question xd
That you ask in your own thread, please. I'll answer you there.

Could there just be some dependencies from calc to calc or even computer to computer? I remember, for example, that OSLauncher only ran on certain TI-Nspire Touchpad calcs with a very small success rate, while on other Touchpad calcs it didn't work at all. TI changes its hardware from a revision to another, the most notable example being the TI-84 Plus with older versions of TI-Boy SE or the blank screen bug in Ndless 1.0 that only happened on certain calcs made around 2008. Another example was how in 2003, Starcraft ran on only about 8 of the school computers in the lab, even though all 30 computers had the same specs and the very same hard drive content (when rebooting, DeepFreeze reverted it to its original school set-up state).

UNIX-like command-line password fields doesn't output anything, not even stars or bullets, when inputing the password. (People often wonder why it doesn't write anything like GUI password fields, but it's actually normal.) This way, it's more secure and nobody can see your password nor its length when copy-pasted in public.

That is good, then. At one point I wanted to give Linux a try, but not on this computer (unless it's possible to partition an hard drive while keeping its current content/installs/windows install intact and not touching anything/reformatting). I was gonna use my old computer, but it broke and is currently being dismantled, so I guess that will wait. I might instead try it on my Nspire,

You can always shrink your Windows partition while keeping its contents (provided you have enough space) with gparted. Else you can install Ubuntu from Windows with Wubi (comes with the Ubuntu CD), it doesn't even touches your partition table, installing the OS into a disk image file and using the Windows bootloader to boot into it.

Ok, and no chance of Ubuntu screwing with my Windows install or something? (like I heard with other people such as AaroneusTheGreat a few years ago)

Back on topic, this was slashdotted O.O (at first I was worried the high guest count on Omni were the spambots that have been attacking us lately)

Not at all, that's like installing it in a VM. But it's running on real hardware.

Update: Just bought a Clickpad. Work on porting to it will begin soon!
I created an account just to get updates on Linux for the Nspire, Really excited about it...
Anyway, I only have a touchpad right now, so if it gets ported to the clickpad, will you have to re-map all of the buttons in order to get it to work with a touchpad model, or could you use the CX for that?

The CX and Touchpad keyboards are the same; but for all other aspects, the parameters for the Touchpad are the same as for the Clickpad.

Heya and welcome here. :) I think the Touchpad layout is the same as the CX keypad, but I could be wrong. All I know is that the button layout is the same or close, so hopefully re-mapping the keys shouldn't be hard. The main problem is that to do it, Tangrs might have to buy both Clickpad and Touchpad models (which he lacks).

The touchpad vs clickpad isn't really an issue. (identical hardware, which is why you can just 'upgrade' by buying a touch keypad) He'd just use the clickpad port (due to the slightly different specs from the CX) with the CX's layout.

@All who replied about the keys,
The CX and Touchpad models have the same keys, my biggest question is if they use a different code to actually be used, which I would think not, because that would make life so much harder for TI, but anyway, I was just curious lol...
And Tangrs should buy a touchpad keypad lol they are only 10 bucks

AFAIK, Clickpads don't have removable keypads.

Ah well, it doesn't mattter, I just got myself a second hand Touchpad which completes the collection (I now have all three).

In addition, mini-updates on progress will be posted on my twitter.
