ubuntu on new retina macbook : any experience ?

~ ➜ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name'
model name    : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3720QM CPU @ 2.60GHz

This explained why you are not getting the TSC error.

My CPU is:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3615QM CPU @ 2.30GHz

BlueDragonX suggested "noapci" to fix TSC clocksource hanging. It works as well with 3.2 kernel (Ubuntu 12.04 / Mint 13).

Just to be clear, it's noapic NOT noacpi. Why do you need nopci? That shouldn't be necessary.

Without noapic mine would hang after the initrd was loaded. There is some configuration in my kernel preventing APIC from working but I haven't found it.

BlueDragonX, what is your CPU and kernel that you are using?

I have the 2.6GHz CPU and I'm running 3.5-rc7 with a collection of patches.

Just like to put this link (Greg Kroah-Hartman. He is trying to boot linux in his MacBookPro retina as well).

My problem regarding MacBookPro retina users porting to linux, most of the blogs / porters not mentioning the CPU of their MacBookPro retina. I think the CPU plays either you can boot your MacBookPro retina with various Linux kernels.

MacBookPro Retina (2.3Ghz) one I got have problems with:

1. TSC clocksource in 3.5-rc7
2. nvidia native driver (307.12), the nvidia card in PCI slot is not recognized in 3.2 kernel (default - Linux mint 13 / 12.04).

I have been using 12.04 and it works GREAT!

What is the CPU for your retina and the kernel?

Could post the results of ddcprobe in the terminal.

sudo ddcprobe

Edit: This is fedora forum for mac.

It seems that Ubuntu is ahead than fedora in booting Macbookpro retina.

Please note that if you are posting in this thread, kindly indicate your Macbookpro retina CPU and kernel that you are booting and also the upgrade if you make it working. It night also good which nvidia driver you are using and resolution.

Again, 2.6Ghz CPU macbookpro retina seems to be working well with current status of the kernel.

BlueDragonX,

Did you use this drver (i.e. nouveau)?

http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/UbuntuPackages

Did you patched something in this driver, any link where to download it and instruction how to install it, if any?

Go back and read my posts. I'm implementing support for the MBP Retina in nouveau right now.

See my patches in my Gentoo overlay: https://github.com/BlueDragonX/fm-ov...-sources/files

2.3 Ghz here working fine with my own custom built kernel (not using noapic and pretty sure kernel has apic support).
