    Macbook 5,1 install woes

    Hey everyone,

    I just installed jaunty and am trying to get everything working on my Macbook 5,1 (mainly the sensors and fans).

    I new so I've been following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook5-1/Jaunty

    But when it comes to installing the applesmc-dkms pack I get this (are things not configured and installed correctly?):

    Code:
    james@james-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install applesmc-dkms
    Reading package lists... Done

    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Is there an easy way to delete and purge the package? So I can reinstall.

    Looks like you have some packages that didn't install fully. Try running
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install --fix-broken

    Thank you for your responses. I uninstalled the packages in the guide and then reinstalled them. Seems to be correctly installed this time.

    @cyberdork

    Really? I was just following the guide. Should I uninstall them?

    The only problem I'm having now is with the trackpad; I can't right click. I'm sure I'v followed the instructions down to the letter(blacklisting usbhid, etc). Is there some sort of debug information I could provide so someone can help me solve this?

    Thanks again,
    James

    yep the applesmc module that is part of the jaunty kernel is just fine.

    you don't have to uninstall it, but you don't need it either.

    Here is a bug on the touchpad thing:
