Intel Macs only support booting from USB devices that are formatted with the GUID partition table (GPT), and I think it follows that said USB stick needs to contain an EFI bootloader such as...

Has anyone had any success with Lucid on the macbook pro 5,5?

I set up my hard drive like this:
/dev/sda1 HFS+ 1GB
/dev/sda2 ext4 127GB

and put grub2 (which I compiled from source) on the...

You can bless from the install DVD, or from a running OS X.

Is rEFIt installed on the system EFI partition, or the OS X partition? Either way, if you know what file is the rEFIt efi image you can...

I've tried, and failed.

Mine is the Macbook Pro 5,5 with nVidia 9400m. Using grub-efi I can boot into Fedora 13 in pure EFI mode, and I can get compositing graphics if I use the nonfree nvidia...

Personally, I rarely used the pinch to zoom... even in OS X it's pretty awkward and hard to accurately zoom, and it doesn't always work, for some reason OS X has a hard time reading the sides of my...

Well, it's not supposed to be hidden, it's set to broadcast the SSID, but it doesn't show up on the list when I click the network manager icon. I can connect to it manually by specifying an SSID to...

This is the output of that command:


$ lspci -n | grep 14e4
03:00.0 0280: 14e4:432b (rev 01)

I think that corresponds to one of the dualband cards: 4322 Dualband 0x14e4 0x432b Dell 1510, no?...

Sorry for the delay-- it's exam period here and all.

I did a bit of testing with OS X: if I try to scroll with 2 fingers, even if one finger starts in the clicking area, it will scroll. However if...

Hey all,

I'm currently running the Lucid release candidate on my MacBook Pro 5,5 (late 2009). My access point is a Linksys WRT610n, dual band simultaneous, I've got the first set up as mixed-GN on...

On my integrated touchpad, if I start a vertical scroll from within the clicking area it usually ignores it, ie: it moves the pointer up until I reach the uppper part of the touchpad, at which point...

LTS does stand for "long-term support" after all, rather than "better initial support."

You're right! It's working.

Here's why I thought it wasn't: three-finger swipe is working on the wrong axis. When I swipe left and right in Firefox it does nothing, but when I swipe up it goes...

For some reason that doesn't work for me... evdev and the macintosh button emulation both take over the device and the multitouch module always unloads.

I can insert InputClass sections into my...

OK thanks, I'll see if I can figure that out.

Has somebody else gotten it working in Lucid? How have you configured it?

Hey, thanks for the reply, I also tried that. When I boot without the synaptics section I see the following slightly different output in Xorg.0.log:


(II) config/udev: Adding input device bcm5974...

OK it seems that moving the InputClass section to the bottom of my xorg.conf got it to load, but it still doesn't work. The module is unloading and I'm seeing a "can't grab device" error. Here's a...

Hey guys,

I'm having trouble installing this driver.

- I have the bcm5974-dkms package from the mactel repo
- I got the source by doing: git clone http://bitmath.org/git/multitouch.git
- I...

Hi all,

My initial problem is that I wanted my username to show up in the GDM menu but for some reason it's missing. I'm using the same home directory that used to have a Fedora distribution on...

It seems like it's doing this in Karmic alpha 5... I just installed it and had the same problem (empty space where icons should be), and fixed it the same way (checked off 'show icons in menus').

So I just did a fresh install of Xubuntu 9.04 on my laptop. I did a sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server.

First bit of strangeness I get is this:


apache2: Could not reliably...

I just ordered a new X61s off of eBay that should arrive here by friday. After upgrading bios I plan on wiping off Vista to make room for Ubuntu... we'll see how it goes :-D
