Encfs is a program that can be used to encrypt folders, unlike other encryption methods this doesn't require a file of a fixed size, so you can use the decrypted folder...

It's not the lid, it happens when you suspend. I have mine set to just switch off the backlight when the lid is closed, and it's fine then. It only has that problem when resuming from suspend. I...

Just realised this configuration doesn't persist after boot, anybody know how to make it permanent?

-Stupid servers...-

With mid screen brightness (which is very viewable in most environments), light-moderate usage, I definitely get over 5 hours. I have noticed that if I run Powertop, Ubuntu is not brilliant at power...

Just in case it's a silly mistake, did you try moving the trackpad or hitting some keyboard buttons? When it resumes it should resume to a locked screen, any input will make the password field...

Pretty obvious, but only just thought of it myself, but if you go to System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts, you can find the "Take a Screenshot" entry and set it to another key, I just set mine...

Just checked this, and no problems for me. Tested with the trackpad and the Magic Mouse.

Didn't know about the Pg Up/Down keys, thanks for that. Based on that information, it would seem that Fn + left/right also works for Home/End respectively. Only key missing that bothers me now is the...

I installed with the main liveCD, following the steps on the wiki (I edited down to the simplest steps in the process). I used the superdrive, but was unsure if other installation methods worked....

I don't even know what grub-efi is, I'm just talking about Apple's EFI. I didn't say wireless wasn't working, I said it was an unneeded feature for an EFI, so maybe if the EFI could be replaced with...

Does anybody know if there is anything we can do about the EFI, either a way to configure it, so that it boots faster. Or maybe replace it with a lighter EFI, with less features (I don't need...

I didn't use OS X for long, but based on the battery indicators, it looks like they are comparable, perhaps Ubuntu is half an hour less or something. But, you have to remember OS X has been...

I updated, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference, there is still the multitouch discrepancy I mentioned earlier.

Thanks for that, worked like a charm, added the trouble shooting info to the wiki.



That also worked like a charm.

I've condensed the new additions to the wiki with the post-install...

The Superdrive, it worked fine with the 32 bit installer.

Right, I've tried with a new disc, still nothing. When I hit F1 to boot, it spins up the disc as if it were loading for about 20 seconds, and then the drive just dies. Blank screen all the way...

I tried with, without, and the check disk for defects, all options resulting in a blank screen, doing nothing. If your running it on x64, then I'll try a new disc or something.



Ahha, didn't...

This seems to have backfired on my machine. I setup the mouse on OS X before I installed Ubuntu, and despite Ubuntu not believing that a BT adapter was present, the mouse worked just fine.

Now...

Has anybody tried installing 64 bit? I realised I had installed 32 bit and was only getting 2.7 GB RAM, so I tried to install 64 bit. The disc booted to a bland GRUB screen, and after selecting try...

Just installed the package, but still no sound from the speakers... MBA 3,2

Thanks for that, although the brightness keys still don't seem to be working. I've added the information to the wiki. What do you mean about the fans, what can you do now, that couldn't be done...

Thanks for that, really helpful, although it's still slower. :( It still takes about 6 seconds to pass control over to Ubuntu, whereas when OS X was installed it took about 1-2 seconds.
