Sounds like this bug
There is a local discovery capability that uses avahi (or bonjour on Macs, or on Windows computers with Apple's bonjour installed). You can usually simply append .local to the end of the name of your...
I have seen this too. I suspect it is a consequence of playing with the launcher colour settings in MyUnity or a similar tool, but I have no confirmation of that yet. Setting the 'background colour'...
Wow, glad you have made progress! But... a fly in the ointment. As hanbo pointed out, after using gParted to create the MBR partition table, the installer's automatic partitioning (which I used on my...
The installer definitely didn't create a GPT for me. Are you sure you're using the standard desktop installation CD, and not a Mac special one?
UPDATE: I looked at my proper Ubuntu disk, and it...
I can't comment on this, I haven't done dual boot.
I didn't do it this way either...
Correct - this is what I did.
It's MBR on mine. At this stage, we're clutching at straws - it's worth...
My system shows:
NVIDIA GeForce 320M:
Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 320M
Type: GPU
Bus: PCI
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x08a0
One minor difference I just noticed - my external display is using the DVI connector, not analog (VGA). But that shouldn't cause what you are seeing.
Well, to avoid using rEFIt I followed the 'Single boot: Ubuntu-only' instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation and then the notes at...
Yes, Oneiric is on the internal drive, using MBR, but that shouldn't matter. I change the drive if I need to to switch over to OS X or Ubuntu.
I was thinking it might be refit causing the problem...
Well, I suspect that leaves the dual boot with refit as the cause then! Or are you using a separate disk too?
edit: Did you try just nomodeset without the vga=791?
Well done mulky, and I have the same hardware and nvidia version - but the kernel boot line logged in Xorg.0.log on mine is different, and of course on mine nvidia does recognise the hardware.
On...
This is very strange - are you able to post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log when the screen has gone black - by rebooting into recovery mode to retrieve the file, for example?
Maybe the output...
Black screens on Nvidia installation are a common problem - if OS X is working fine, I doubt it's hardware. The forums have hundreds of threads about black screens on various systems. The key to...
Unless you have application software requirements that override all this, it seems to me that the operating system argument is mainly to do with principles - a free environment where you can find out...
Unfortunately I didn't take notes. Basically I installed from the desktop CD, updated everything and rebooted, then followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro7-1/Oneiric except that I used...
I have an external monitor working on my MacbookPro7,1. I installed nvidia-current and nvidia-settings, and used that to make it work at first - but it usually needed two goes at applying the...
Version 4.1.8 of VirtualBox seems to have fixed this, for me at least!
I have Oneiric on a MBP7,1 as of 2 days ago - it's a bit fiddly with external displays using the Nvidia driver, and I had to turn power management off on the wireless adapter, but otherwise seems to...
If I recall correctly, doing the following on the Mac will enable Leopard to find the CUPS printer on Linux:
cupsctl BrowseProtocols='"cups dnssd"'
The quotes are important here.
The issue is...
That button was part of an old version of Ubuntu, and it's long gone. This thread is 3 years old. I suggest you start a new thread seeking help for what you are trying to achieve, but be aware that...
After so long using the 'new' notifications, I can't imagine *not* using them now!
The wireless card that came with my TC1000 would not do WPA with Windows XP either! My TC1100 has an Atheros card which does work with WPA.
I don't use the netbook edition, but if I recall correctly there was a clash between compiz and the netbook launcher (which uses clutter) in earlier versions, and this may still be true with Unity in...
I added it into the global section near the top of smb.conf, restarted smbd, and it's working!
NB, there may be some scenarios this will break rather than fix.
