This worked perfectly. Thank you.

Marking as solved.

I was happily using Ubuntu 8.04 with the mactel patches and latest
pommed for quite some time without any issues. The keyboard backlight
was working as expected, as was the...

Are you using the SMP kernel?

Check the output of:


uname -a

I had this problem at some point. Google "ubuntu blank tty" and you get lots of hits. I'm not sure if you are having an intiramfs problem or if it is truly a nvidia driver problem. Some of those...

Very nice. I was looking for the background in the "old" screenshot, but couldn't find it. If you have a link to that background, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Yes, it is not an original desktop. If you know who designed it originally, please let me know so that I can give credit. I just saw the screenshot that servechilled had on gnome-look and liked it...

This is my Macbook Pro 4,1 running Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64. The desktop was inspired by the user "servechilled" on gnome-look.org.

Which applications are giving you a problem? I can open documents directly from firefox/webmail.

I've found an equally strange workaround for this. Start the application with
oowriter -nologo or any other dummy option eg.
oowriter -dummy-option The latter still gives me the openoffice...

I misread the original post :(

Please disregard my last post.

Thanks cyberdork33.

Macbook 4.1 is penryn. I have the penryn macbook and you indeed need a newer version of pommed. You should also get the pre-built hid module from this thread: ...

I'm having a strange problem after the latest hardy update with openoffice. Whenever I try to open an ooffice application from the gnome menu, it fails to start. If I start it from the terminal, I...

My .config for kernel 2.6.25.5. This was not meant to be an optimized kernel. I just wanted everything to work and quickly. I'll go through it later and take out all the unnecessary things and...

Yes, it is the keyboard backlight which is working.

The only thing which is a problem with the custom kernel is that the usplash screen doesn't work properly. It comes up for about 3 - 4 seconds,...

Get a vanilla kernel 2.6.25.5 from and apply the following fix:

Then apply all the mactel-linux patches for this...

I have VMware workstation running fine on hardy.

Do you have the kernel headers installed?

Also, what happens if you specify your include path as:

I've compiled 32 bit mplayer successfully on x86_64 after some experimentation. Everything works well, and you can use the win32 codecs to play virtually any media file.

I think I've found a solution to the problem. I used xkbset-gui to set some parameters and then enable mousekeys. Then saved the info to .xsession. And so far mousekeys are working for me, without...

I thought that xset might be interfering with things, so I removed my xset commands from the xinitrc, and still I get the same thing. After a while, the middle-click stops working. Any ideas at all...

I'm not sure that the program is actually crashing or what. I get no output from xkbset. But I left the computer alone for a while, came back, and sure enough, the middle-click is not working...

Everything works properly after I followed this guide, but there is one thing I can't resolve. If i use "xkbset m" to get the search button to middle click, it apparently dies after a few minutes...
