Intrepid Ibex on Macbook Pro Black

[Kooothor]

\o/

I successfully upgraded to Ibex on my Macbook.
I just had to add "Windows List" to my gnome panel, and change the theme back.

But basically, that's it ! It works like a charm :)

ENJOY !

Small problem :

The applesmc module doesn't load at boot (and yes, it is in /etc/modules)
Coretemp is okay, but applesmc nope... :(

[cyberdork33]

interesting. Do you get an error when you try to load it manually?

sudo modprobe applesmc

No, I get no problem loading it.

Product Name: MacBook4,1
Product Name: Mac-F22788A9

It's annoying cause each morning I have to reload it manually.... :(
And also edit the fan1_min speed wich by default is far too low.

dmesg show me that applesmc is successfully loaded at boot.
Then it is unloaded (whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy)

Your model is not properly supported in applesmc. Please run this script

http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=85996&d=1224442499

as root, and report the output here, so we can add it. The script is from this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=924096&highlight=wait+status+applesmc, which has already been used several times.

Thanks!

Here is the output of the script :

I've already added the patch provided on the thread you're refering to. (it was to get rid of the "failed status" messages). But it was with previous kernel.

In hardy it was all fine, but in Intrepid I think something deactivate the loading of applesmc at boot.... :(

Ok, here is a version with macbook4 support for testing. Please install and test using this script: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=85861&d=1221901854. If you want to be included as Tested-by in the upstream patch, send me a private message with name and email. Thanks!

I'll try to reboot and see if it works in an hour or so.

The dkms package installer does not reload the module, so in order to take effect, you need to do that manually. I already sent the patch - it seems the two of you had the same problem. :-)

Yeah, after reboot applesmc is still deactivated during the boot (after being successfully loaded...)
BUT : good thing is I don't have anymore "wait status failed" in dmesg AND all the temperature are read out correctly each time ! :D \o/


EDIT : I've found why my applesmc is deactivated, I had modified something in rc.local (rmmod applesmc and insmod with the patched one)
So now I've done some editing and all should be fine ! :D

The fan behaviour is very strange:

root@MacBook:~# cat /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan1_min

So, it seems fan is indipendent (or it doesn't read) from fan1_min value... :confused:

[Kooothor]

Your fan is gone crazy !

Do you have a MBP41 with two fans, or the MB41 with one fan?

[AleXit]

I have a MB41 with one fan (early 2008 )

[kosumi68]

What could it be except user-space interference. I would boot the machine in single-user mode (rescue mode), and do the experiment from there.

[AleXit]

What could it be except user-space interference.Maybe some daemon related to acpi/power management which get control of the fan?:confused:
Thank you for your help, guy ;)

Running Ubuntu 8.10 on Mac Pro (early 2008) with "2.6.27-7-generic" and I also get:

sudo modprobe applesmc
FATAL: Error inserting applesmc (/lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/applesmc.ko): No such device


When is this thing gonna work? :confused:

Is that a MacPro you have there? In that case it is most likely completely unsupported by applesmc, which is quite a different problem. Check out this link to get it supported: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=924096
