  2. [ubuntu] Re: Macbook Pro 8,2 Wireless on Quantal 12.10 BCM4331

    If you're using the same MacBook Pro as in the thread's title, wireless N isn't supported yet. I have the same MBP and b/g is as good as it gets. You can see the status of the b43 drivers for various...
  3. [all variants] Re: [Boot-Repair] Graphical tool to repair the PC boot in 1 click!

    Ah, I was not aware of that. You learn something every day... Thanks for bringing me up to speed.

    I can't say that I'm crazy about it being set up to do that. I understand the why; Macs will only...
  4. [all variants] Re: [Boot-Repair] Graphical tool to repair the PC boot in 1 click!

    @Shoushouwhatwhat

    It looks to me like your grub.cfg is listing the incorrect EFI files for boot. The first two entries reference EFI files, but they have a .BKP extension, which is weird. Maybe...

    Re: Possible to edit EFI partition grub.cfg?

    Well, yes and no. Windows won't boot on a Mac in EFI mode, at least versions prior to Windows 8. I actually was running Windows 8 under EFI on my MacBook Pro for a time, but Apple's drivers don't...
  6. [SOLVED] Re: Looking to installin Ubuntu on MacBook 4,1

    If you have only OS X on your Mac currently, you'll need to shrink the OS X partition and create another for Ubuntu. The safest way to do this is from inside OS X, using the Boot Camp Assistant. The...
  7. Re: MacBook Pro Trackpad Palm Recognition Help

    I believe that's because there isn't a '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/' directory in a fresh Ubuntu install. This page on the wiki explains where to place X configuration files, and the updated directory...
  8. [ubuntu] Re: GRUB bootloader at beginning of 1st Partition with Ubuntu System

    If this is the case, I don't see how installing GRUB to the partition will make a difference. Windows is going to need something in the MBR to boot it, and I don't see why this Deploy Studio would...
  9. [ubuntu] Re: Getting Black screen with Cursor from liveCD

    Which disc image did you download and burn? Generally, only the special Mac version will boot in the manner you've described.

    An easy way to check is to instead press and hold the 'option' key...

    Re: MacBook Pro 8.1 WiFi Problem

    May I ask why you are using ndiswrapper?

    I believe we share the same Wi-Fi controller, the Broadcom 4331. Generally, it's recommended to use the b43 driver for this chip. However, Broadcom has...
  11. [ubuntu] Re: GRUB bootloader at beginning of 1st Partition with Ubuntu System

    I'm not sure why they're recommending that approach; it makes no sense to me.

    I actually triple-boot myself, with:

    OS X 10.8.2
    Windows 8 Pro x64
    Kubuntu 12.10 amd64

    My GPT hard drive is...

    Re: Possible to edit EFI partition grub.cfg?

    I'm actually booting Kubuntu 12.10 in EFI mode on my Mac, so I can help a little. There are two main ways that GRUB 2 can be configured for EFI.

    The first is to put GRUB, its configuration files,...

    [ubuntu] Re: Unable to Install or load live

    Nouveau is the open source Nvidia GPU driver, so you probably have a Nvidia graphics card, right? Could you specify which one specifically, particularly the GPU and the number/types of outputs?
  14. [xubuntu] Re: Problems installing Xubuntu 12-04.1 on old computer.

    Your computer is definitely at least i386-compatible, as even 64-bit processors can execute 32-bit code. That at least answers your image version question.

    I'd be willing to bet that your computer...

    [ubuntu] Re: can not dual boot?

    Nothing appears amiss there. However, that disk is using a MBR partition table. You need to be aware that:

    - MBR disks are limited to 4 physical partitions
    - Your disk already has 4 partitions
    -...

    Nearly anything is compatible... the question is how compatible do you want it? ;)

    A lot of your answers depend on how willing you are to go with closed-source, proprietary drivers. Some people...

    Yes, but you'll need to manually mount the appropriate partition each time you boot. I would recommend checking out the links provided above to set up a persistent install.

    Yeah, I'm actually running Kubuntu myself; some of us are just KDE guys ;)

    By the way, you can actually sync up your MBR tables again when necessary from within OS X. If you check out Rod's site,...

    [ubuntu] Re: rEFIt dual boot stall

    No, you don't need to manually set up BIOS emulation; it "just works."

    What happens when you actually boot and hold option? You should be seeing the built-in boot selector, and not rEFIt. After...

    Holy resurrected thread, Batman! ;-)



    I mean this as nicely as possible, but no, no no! I can't say this enough: most dual-booting Apple users should NOT use fdisk!!!

    Here's why:

    [kubuntu] Re: 2 Tux icons on rEFIt screen

    I'm not entirely sure of how rEFIt looks for bootable partitions and operating systems. The problem is that the project was abandoned some time ago, as the last update was in 2010.

    Personally, and maybe this is heresy around these parts, but I would recommend forgoing rEFIt/rEFInd altogether. You don't need it; it's a boot manager that provides some extra features that are...
