I also decided to try moonlight yesterday, all the moonlight links give 403 forbidden and all the moonlight-x packages have been deleted from Ubuntu repos? (Moonlight was in the repos for older...
On Macbook Pro Retina it works atleast so that you plug it in after booting (I use it at work everyday), I have it connected to a normal lcd with a thunderbolt -> dvi adapter. Also HDMI works the...
X still doesn't start always (happens very rarely). I'm now testing sleep 2 in the script.
Also, each time the glx packages are updated in the repo the apt-get foo doesn't work with --no-download....
Hmm.. It might work better if you install nvidia proprietary driver from settings / software & updates / additional drivers-tab (atleast in XFCE, might be in a different place in normal Ubuntu).

Thanks for the tip. I might try KDE again one day :)
Heh, yeah I've been thinking I'll just move to bare X or something, I use the keyboard 99% of the time anyway :)
It's quite surprising...
Looks like Firefox's menus not working -bug with about:config / devPixelsfoo has been fixed in the current raring-updates official package. Just thought I'd report here if someone's using the alpha /...
There's no perfect solution yet, one of the problems is GTK-based apps, it'll probably take time before gtk is "fixed", not a really a bug but anyway.
I tried KDE and it worked more...
Actually I noticed recently it always starts fluttering when Wifi goes active, I tried now to just disable and enable again wifi, let's see if that fixes it. Then I wouldn't have to go to standby...
My working graphics switching in ubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2145821&p=12650682#post12650682 .
Thank you gschwind (just realized there's also an 'i' in there, I think I typoed...
I now have a working setup to choose nvidia or intel at boot time. Thank you gschwnd for all the work, and all others too.
The main differences in Ubuntu are:
- Couldn't get nvidia to work when...
I wrote a thread about it a while ago, but the link given in earlier post seems to have all the info, and more :) Looks like recent kernels (even the def. raring 3.8.0-x) don't need the echo ON/OFF...
Yeah, I just found a combo that works: nvidia 310.xx from nvidia.com and kernel 3.8.0-19 (raring default). Then after suspend/resume /sys/foo works :)
In kernel 3.9.2 I don't think it works with...
I've been tweaking my method to switch graphics at boot time (intel or nvidia), modified from gschwind's wiki. So far so good (I'll post everything when it's ready), but now I ran into the brightness...
For the WiFi you have to go to the additional drivers part and enable Broadcom something STA foo. (This works better for me than the firmware extraction method in the older guides. The additional...
The context menus work correctly with devPixelsPerPx setting in Firefox 16 (I think), or the latest Aurora (Alpha). The menus getting messed up is actually a bug, however it's fixed in current Aurora...
I have the same setup. Now I'm using only Intel because of the GLX switching problems.
EDIT: another reply
Like it was already mentioned here, I think the MBP uses a custom solution for...
Ahh yes, I forgot to mention that too :) I might try to get it working with nvidia too one day, I'm sure it works, I was just testing it "blind", without another puter and ssh. The intel switching...
I tested with your apple-gmux the other day, I got it to switch to intel only (following the instructions in your post). I had some problems getting it to switch to nvidia and don't have another...
I'm using XFCE (Xubuntu) at full res. More info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2099498 .

Good thread :) Hmm, 7W without the screen heh :D I still have to test a couple of days, but I'm quite happy with 210.x nvidia drivers, fans are not running all the time like before etc. It probably...
With Xubuntu 13.04 and nvidia driver 310.44 my MacBook is idling at 13W, without WiFi. With Xubuntu 12.10 and nouveau driver I can't get below 24W. Both with the Nvidia display adapter in use. Still...
I don't know what's going on. I just decided to test the Nvidia proprietary driver to get the external displays working. I'm getting 14-16W power consumption with WiFi on and dropbox syncing some...
I had forgotten about your post, I think I read it a while back :) I'll test it one day, and maybe also post scripts for everything etc :) Also, nice job.
