May I suggest an alternative... the 13-inch MacBook Air! Compared to the 13-inch MBP it has better screen resolution (1440x900 vs. 1280x800) and thanks to the SSD it feels a lot snappier. I sold my...
You may have to wade through the Gnome settings with 'gconf-editor' for clues.
Don't forget the top sticky (last item)...
Sorry, the problem is the implementation by Apple of the (mini) display port. The latest nvidia module for the Linux kernel results in a tangle of green and yellow lines on the screen, perhaps a...
It may be possible using grub-efi, but it won't be a straight-forward exercise. Look for pointers in that most active thread in this forum section.
It seems that your external HD is mounted OK on /media/maindisk... you seem not to have partitioned that HD since it is recognized as /dev/sdb -- this is a bit unusual, but OK.
You should edit the...
Re: Macbook Pro 4.1, triple boot installation help. OS X, 7, and Jaunty
No, don't do it when installing Ubuntu, but do it from within Windows using some tool like PartitionMagic. This may have to wait until such a tool becomes available that can handle this for Windows 7...
You may want to invest some effort in trying to understand what you're doing instead of just following some recipe in a wiki...
The problem with any multiple OS installation on an Mac involving...
Well, you should first check that your MacBook can be put to sleep with the
$ sudo /usr/sbin/pm-suspendcommand, and that it can be brought back up when briefly hitting the power button.
If...
Sure there is.
If your iMac is a MacIntel machine, then you could install Ubuntu on an external HD without any problem... but you wouldn't be able to boot from it due a limitation in the Apple implementation of EFI...
Triple or even quad booting? Not without a bit of effort and understanding of the problems surrounding the EFI replacement of the BIOS used by Apple.
In principle, you should be able to boot any...
Grub-efi excepted (which isn't quite ready for prime time yet), Linux can only be booted from one of the GUID partitions numbered 1..4 or from a CD-ROM. That boot partition need not be large, just...
Well, that blacklisting of the ssb module is the right thing to do (you need to do it only once, either in blacklist.conf or in any of the other .conf files in /etc/modprobe.d/). Why then doesn't it...
Well folks, let's be a little careful here in our advice...
The OP has a GUID partition table, but probably uses the older MBR partition table synchronized with GPT. In that case, having an...
Even the latest "nvidia" Linux drivers won't work through the mini display port, but the simpler "vesa" driver does (simpler in the sense that there is no 3D). To get to the full 1920x1200 resolution...
This is a known problem that first cropped up with the 2009 Mac Mini. I don't know of any solution for Linux yet, but the rEFIt boot selector has the problem solved as of version 0.13. So, you might...
The new Broadcom hybrid-sta driver (wl.ko) should work on your wireless.
The latest nvidia driver works, except it cannot handle the Apple LED Cinema Display or any other display using the MDP...
The CA-certificate is just a coded text file, you should ask your school IT office for a copy of it, install it somewhere in your home directory, then give the path to it when asked to configure the...
I take it that you're trying to use the "wl" module. Sometimes the "ssb" module grabs the wireless interface before "wl", which should be avoided.
Run the command
$ lsmod |grep ssbin a...
You should, first of all, make sure that the AEBS is not the problem, and the only way of doing that is to fire up Mac OS X and open the Airport Utility to do a manual check of the AEBS. Could it be...
The SerialMonkey drivers have been supplanted by those in the rt2x00 suite of kernel drivers. The ones included with the 2.6.28 kernel (as in Jaunty 9.04) work fine, you could also check backports...
The interesting thing is that there has been a regression of sorts with MBP 4,1 screen and keyboard backlighting... While the new apple macintel-related modules in the 2.6.28/29 kernels are a great...
Yeah, now that I've gotten your attention... just want to report that there isn't any change yet in using the ALCD thru the MDP (mini display port): the latest nvidia still doesn't work (scrambles...
