Probably not, that feature is still very much in beta, with many bugs. I highly doubt qemu would work with it. If you have a raspberry pi though, that would work best, as you can skip the qemu and binfmt steps.
Oh my... Unfortunately, I do not own a Raspberry Pi. Would this guide work with Ubuntu? I am asking as Ubuntu seems to support my WiFi cards. Or does debootstrap rely on Debian?
Also, I think I'll look into getting a Raspberry Pi, as it certainly would make doing this whole thing easier, if I were to do it again (I have a tendency to accidentally format USB drives without checking what's on them).
Yep, Ubuntu should work just fine, but you'll need the emu and binfmt steps, since your computer has a different processor than the Nspire. Also, I would highly recommend getting a Raspberry Pi, they're fun to mess around with. For instance, I just made this the other day: https://twitter.com/NoahRosamilia/status/723688146320392192
Would've been nice to know that Ubuntu worked all the while ago  . I will definitely look into buying a Raspberry Pi. Which one do you recommend?
Hands down would recommend a Pi 3, as they are the fastest, and still the same price as the older ones.

The issue is cropping up before he even get's to the Nspire step, that's not it (yet).
Ah okay, nevermind then.
I'd recommend using a non-virtual linux box to work with, if you can figure out a way to do that, or maybe a linux with a flash drive root (you can do that with debootstrap too!). Virtualbox usually works, but I've seen weirdnesses with USB forwarding which might be causing problems.
I hear that the Insider builds of Windows 10 has a full Linux userland? Do you think that would work?

Sometimes the flash drive draws too much power. If you have a powered hub with a mini-USB port, you can use the link cable that comes with the calc to avoid any problems, and also plug in a real keyboard.

Looking at the post graph, it seems like the activity stayed relatively stable during 2013 (100 posts/day) until the end of 2014, when it nosedived to around 20 posts/day, and now it seems like it's at 10 posts/day. RIP Omnimaga. Any idea on why the post count decreased so rapidly at the end of 2014?
That's when CodeWalrus was born

@Ivoah Alright, so, how about this: instead of debootstrapping directly to the USB, I debootstrap to an image file, the dd the image file to the USB. Or am I still missing something?
Sounds like your flashdrive is borked, try reformatting it as ext4.

Hello,
is it possible to install a desktop enviroment, like lxde on the calc.
I is possible to install lxde, but when I tried it there were problems with input. I think it was traced down to a config option not being set when compiling the kernel. I might work with the new kernel.

I assume this is being programmed in Axe?

Are you sure you installed qemu-user-static and binfmt-support?

Looks like you need to re-debootstrap. I also updated the guide, so maybe try starting from the beginning.

It worked! Thanks

So I downloaded ndless and npdf and followed the instructions, and it says "successful - you can now open .pdf and .xps etc" but, when I use the TI-Nspire computer link software to transfer my .pdf files over, it says I can only transfer .TNS files.
How do I put .pdf files on my device once I have the npdf software? I'm using OS 4.2 if that helps
You need to rename them to filename.pdf.tns. The link software doesn't actually check what kind of file it is, just if it has the .tns extension.

bump. Did you get it working @kitten?
Sorry for the delay, I meant to post images of the screen I get when booting Linux, but never got around to it. As previously stated, it didn't think "boot" was a command. When setting up the USB drive, it couldn't get sources.list, so I copied mine from my Debian Jessie installation and replaced "Jessie" with "Wheezy". I think this is part of the problem. I'll try setting it up again.
EDIT: Apparently, sources.list was not found here: http://codinghobbit.no-ip.org/uploads/TI-Nspire/linux/sources.list
It's not on http://archive.org/web/ either.
EDIT2: I tried setting up nDroid and it seemed to boot the kernel. I never thought I'd see the day when my calculator had a kernel panic... Anyway, it does seem that linuxloader2 could communicate with the USB, but it could not execute the boot command.
Weird, copying the sources.list should've worked. Anyways, I forgot to fix sources.list when I re-did my blog, try this: http://codinghobbit.no-ip.org/uploads/sources.list

So, because you are running basic thru Axe, is it as fast as Axe, or as slow as basic? For example, would DJ Omnimaga's original Reuben Quest 2 run as fast as Sorunome's Axe app? Or would there be no change in running speed?
There's no change in speed, since TI's BASIC interpreter is still actually running it. The Axe program just tells it what to run.
