So, although I use Arch, I figured I'd swing by and share this here.

I keep a blog, and I've been making some tweaks to my MacBook Air 2011 (4,1) in order to try and use as little battery as...

Hello guys :)

I'm running Arch Linux, however, felt that the Ubuntu community may be able to help as there seem to be quite a few active members using Ubuntu on the MacBook Air.

I have an awful...

Yup! I have a backup of my /home ready for this new install. I probably would put /home on a separate partition thinking about it.

Anybody have any advice, at all?

I'd really appreciate some answers

Hi

If it's not too much trouble, would some of you mind taking a look at my thread for setting up various things on the MBA 4,1?

It'd be greatly appreciated! :D

Greetings!

I'm posting this thread as I plan to do a re-install of an Ubuntu based distro upon it's release. In doing so, I want to create a nice clean setup with EFI booting, suitable partition...

No idea what that issue is, but it certainly looks SMC related.

Try resetting the SMC. That might do the trick :)

Hi Samushighwind,

If you take a look at my thread, I was experiencing a similar issue on my MacBook Air. I wrote a little bash script called by pmutils when waking from suspend that just reloads...

You can use lsmod to see which modules are loaded, you could then pipe it into grep to better define what you're looking for :)

Hi s0l1dsnak3123,

You can achieve this with Touchegg, however I don't believe it's working in 12.04, it seems to present a segmentation fault. I haven't read up on it recently though, so perhaps...

Take a look at my thread

Quick and dirty fix, just uses a bash script called by pmutils to kill and restart the touchpad driver.

There's also an easier fix posted by alx80.

Hi Giovanni,

Under OS X, install rEFIt (Google it). It's a common misconception that it's a boot loader, however it is in fact an EFI application, a graphical boot manager.

So upon booting up...

Hi ts3 :)

I'm running the dev builds of 12.04 (I know it's just been released today, I'm just waiting for the elementary team to release Luna)

As I'm sure you've seen from my thread you...

Good stuff! Glad this has helped you guys :)

Wow, thanks! :D

How can we go about getting it there?

Ah, well at least that's something!

Cheers for the reply :D Let me know

**EDIT** **FIX**

Okay, I've fixed it by reloading the module from suspend with a script called by pm-utils :D

See...

Hello! :)

I got a Macbook Air 4,1 yesterday, I have 12.04 (64bit) running on it.

I have an issue with the trackpad. It functions absolutely flawlessly, apart from when the machine wakes from...

Hmmm, wine is 12GB. Really not sure what could be taking up all this space? This is a brand new system I built last week, so I'm really not sure how I've managed to take up 57GB!? There's barely...

Thanks for the reply seawolf :)

Well, in my case, I don't actually have much in the way of media on my drive at all, I run a home server and just stream anything I want to play, so, I presume...

Uh oh spaghetti-O's!

My system just prompted that I have low disk space... not fun.

So, here's the situation:

I have a 60GB SSD with 10.10 installed on it, I also have a 1TB SATA drive,...

Hello there :D

I hope someone can help with this, it's pretty damn frustrating!

I just completed my new build, got elementary running on it (for anyone who doesn't know, it's built on top of...

Thanks for the swift reply dino :)

Ah, that's probably where the issue lies then! I have a 2.33GB swap partition.

Okay... one question though, I've played with changing sizes of partitions on...

Well hello there :)

I just built my new desktop yesterday, I got elementary Jupiter (built on Ubuntu 10.10) installed and running fine on it, everything works... except for when I tell it to...

All worked great, thanks for the help guys! :D

Cheers! This'll save me a lot of hassle
