My MacBook seems to have lost /dev/video0 as well. How do you activate it?

See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleiSight

FWIW, it didn't work for me after Ubuntu 10, and I've tried a few other fixes unsuccessfully since...to no avail.

I've been running various Linux distros on my now aging MacBook for the better part of the last two years. It got to the point where I just wasn't using the Mac OS X partition anymore, so the MacBook...

Many thanks. The drivers did the trick and work on both my desktop and laptop. BTW, the color looks okay :D

The pointing device did the trick for my aging black MacBook.

As I've already mentioned, if you've got a Mac, run the Mac OS and whatever flavor of Linux you prefer to best fit yours needs.

As for iChat, you've got to have a .mac/Mobile Me account to do...

Thanks, Arabis, but I've decided to revert to a wired keyboard and mouse in this case.

As others here have recommended, I'd hang on to your Mac and set it up to dual-boot both Mac OS X and Ubuntu. This is especially advisable if you need to run MS Office, Adobe, or other apps for your...

Arabis, I've tried the recommended fix on the link. It didn't work for me. What puzzles me is that the keyboard and mouse worked in a limited way when I ran 10.04 in normal mode. I don't understand...

I've also tried to install btusb-dkms. When I then tried to launch Bluetooth Manager, I received an error message. In short, this fix didn't work for me.

I've heard that 10.10 will work if you use a usb mouse and keyboard, but I was hoping that someone had found a fix for the wireless versions. :cool:

I successfully installed Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid on my relatively new iMac 21.5 10,1, but have been unsuccessful in running the upgrade to 10.10 Maverick Meerkat in the normal mode. It appears that the...

I have an iMac 21.5" and also have been unable boot Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat in the normal mode after upgrading online because it doesn't seem to recognize either the Magic Mouse or the wireless...

Hi Cavsfan, as you can see from my reply to both Zika and drs305, I've already tried a clean install, which didn't work either. I think it's a iMac issue because I had no problem upgrading to Meerkat...

Zika, thanks again for your suggestions. I typed in the command lines you provided, ran sudo update-grub and rebooted, but the log-in screen in the normal mode still freezes. At least I can still run...

Greetings drs305 and zika,

Thank you for your helpful suggestions.

First, I'm not savvy enough about Linux to know if the Nvidia driver might be causing a problem, but it wasn't a problem with...

Greetings, I've spent a while looking through the forums and this thread seems to come the closest to my problem after upgrading online from Lucid 10.04.1 to Meerkat 10.10 on my iMac (see signature...

Who put the bump in the bump dee bump dee bump? :popcorn:

As I've already posted, upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 on my MacBook was easy and that I only had to tweak a few things to have things work the way I wanted.

However, upgrading to 10.10 on my iMac...

Yes, I hate this, too. I haven't quite figured out if one or more of the "critical" or "recommend" updates is/are the culprit(s), but perhaps someone could test each update before adding it to Update...

Upgrading from 10.04 Lucid Lynx to 10.10 Maverick Meerkat went fairly smoothly on my MacBook, and I've managed to iron out a few minor kinks like iSight, which has plagued other Mac users. Perhaps...

After trying some of the other fixes listed here, this one also worked for me. Many thanks! :)

Nothing happens except "Connection to BlueZ failed"

Many thanks! The line command portion worked, but I still can't get into Bluetooth Manager when I go to System>Preference>Blue Tooth Manager. Yet, in the terminal, I see that bluettoth and blueman...

Yktoo,

I also had the following problem in terminal:

fred@fred-desktop:~$ gunzip btusb-dkms_0.0.1_all.deb.gz
gzip: btusb-dkms_0.0.1_all.deb.gz: No such file or directory
fred@fred-desktop:~$ ...
