Ubuntu / Apple :: 10.10 On Macbook Pro 15" 1,1 - Intel - Laptop Overheats Until Shut Down - Freeze Every Time

Apr 5, 2011

I purchased a macbook (for cheap) without a hard drive and decided to go with Ubuntu 10.10 on my new drive.

This laptop has serious overheating issues. I installed the sensor applet and the fans are not coming on, even when the core temp exceeds 167(f). The base of the laptop becomes hot enough to fry an egg on.

I'd like to find a way to make the fans come on in an automated fashion (without having to do it at the command line each time I want them to come on). I'd even be happy with them on all the time if that will resolve the issue, as the laptop overheats until shut down / freeze every time I use it.

Hardware :: Computer Automatically Shut Itself Down If It Overheats - Thermal Protection?

Jan 3, 2010

I am considering trying out gentoo linux on my machine and wanted it to compile while I was gone (going to be gone for a week). I just want to make sure that my system will not MELT while I am not there to make sure everything is okay. I have a pentium 4 prescott. Will my computer automatically shut itself down if it overheats? I've heard its supposed to but sometimes is too late. Can I trust it?

Ubuntu / Apple :: MacBook Pro Boot Time Very Slow

Nov 4, 2010

How do I speed up the Macbook Pro boot time? In OSX when I boot it goes directly to the mac logo. In Ubuntu there seems to be a 10 second or more hesitation before it access my hard drive. Is there anyway to change some settings in the BIOS / EFI?

Fedora X86/64bit :: Running F11 I586 On Laptop / System Shut Off (not A Normal OS Shut Down, But A Sudden Power Off Without Warning)?

Oct 13, 2009

Offlate I installed F11 i586 on my laptop. F11 shares the hard disk with Vista Home Premium 32-bit. The problem is that when running F11 (or even Ubuntu), my system shut off suddenly(not a normal OS shut down, but a sudden power off without any warning). This could have been a hardware trouble(heating) but it doesn't happen with Vista.
Machine specifications:
Maker: Toshiba
Model: Satellite L305D-S5881
AMD Turion X2 Dual Core Mobile Processor RM-70
3072 MB 800 MHz SDRAM
I don't want to open up my machine unnecessarily, if it isn't a hardware issue.
I am not sure how to verify the bit length of the machine and the OS and does it create a compatibility issue ?
Your advise would be highly appreciated.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Can't Get Started On Macbook Air?

Feb 20, 2010

I've got a Macbook Air and a verified 9.10 liveCD in the external superdrive. I can successfully boot to the CD, but when I choose "try ubuntu without installing", all I get is a blinking cursor in the upper-left of the screen forever. Any idea why it won't start? CD works fine on my Dell, that's why I say it's verified.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Won't Load On Macbook

Mar 27, 2010

Today i went ahead and installed ubuntu on my windows desktop pc. I tryed the live cd and tested it out and everything was fine i then installed it using wubi. I then wanted to install it to my macbook ( bought in june 2009 ) and i booted the live cd and chose try ubuntu without any change to your computer. It booted a black screen with a white _ at the top then the screen went white and did nothing. I tryed it several times and nothing happend.

Nothing.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Replacing Os X Entirely On A Macbook 1.1

Apr 30, 2010

I have a first generation Macbook that shipped with Tiger. I don't often use the os x partition anymore, as I installed Windows XP on a 15 gig partition back when bootcamp was still in beta and I normally use that when I'm on my laptop. Since Tiger is rather old and the only reason I would want to upgrade to leopard is to have access to bootcamp again (they disabled access to the bootcamp application in os x, but I can still boot into windows), I have been thinking about wiping out my os x installation and using ubuntu instead. Does anyone have any thoughts on the pros and cons of totally removing os x?

The main reason I hesitate to just jump in and do it is because if I decide to install os x again I won't be able to install bootcamp again, unless I buy leopard. If I wipe out os x and install ubuntu, will I still be able to access windows in the same way? Windows uses bootcamp drivers to run properly, so I have never quite been sure if it is pulling something off of the os x partition or if it is totally standalone.

Ubuntu / Apple :: How To Natty On A MacBook Pro 5,2

Dec 29, 2010

Introduction: I wrote a very extensive and quantified tutorial and informational guide aiming to upgrade the latent information from the wiki's on MacBook Pro 5,2. An accidental toe tap ended with me bumping my head and pressing the X button on firefox. What happen had to be 1 out of a billionth of a chance. So this version will be simple and to the point, until I can muster enough patience to detail it all out again. Please correct any errors.

sudo apt-get install pommed - To get backlight keyboard working.
sudo apt-get install cheese - To get iSight working.
sudo apt-get install lirc - to get remote working (tested in XBMC)
sudo apt-get install bluemon - Pairs Mighty Mouse and Wireless Keyboard (optional)

Ubuntu / Apple :: Macbook Pro 5.5 + 10.10 = No Audio

Mar 15, 2011

I have installed it on my Macbook Pro 5.5 via rEFIt+ and the install works well except for the lack of sound. I've seen this issue posted about on the forums and I've followed the advice posted here as best I can with my limited knowledge. Terminal didn't recognise the aptitude (command not found). I guess that may be due to an older build of Ubuntu being used in the example?

Ubuntu / Apple :: Trying To Run 11.04 LiveCD On MacBook Pro 5,2

May 1, 2011

I have downloaded the 64 bit iso and burned the CD-ROM per the instructions. The CD is verified. When I boot the mac, holding down the C key, I get a menu of options relating to Ubuntu. If I choose the trial run from CD then the CD drive starts up but the screen goes blank and I end up with just a blinking underline cursor in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Does anyone known if one can, and if so how, to boot the live CD on a Macbook Pro 5,2?

Ubuntu / Apple :: Can't Install 11.04 On Macbook Air 3,2

Jul 25, 2011

The wiki says there is a way to install from usb but I can't get it to work on my Macbook Air 3,2 (the Nov 2010 revision, not the one from last week).

My goal is to dual-boot OS X and Ubuntu, but I can't get the Ubuntu installer to boot. I've tried a lot of variations on the instructions I've found, so I get the feeling I'm probably missing something fundamental.

I installed refit and used BootCamp to partition the drive. I downloaded desktop/alternate and i386/amd64 isos. I tried to follow the instructions to use unetbootin on OS X to install the ISOs to my USB drive, but neither drive that I connect appears in the "Drive:" selector when on OS X. I used usb-creator-gtk and unetbootin on an Unbuntu machine to try each of the four ISOs.

When I try to boot the Air from the USB drive, I got a few different types of failure:

gpt, single fat partition, unetbootin -> alternate amd64
result: "Non-system disk" "Press any key to reboot"
mbr, single fat, unetbootin -> alternate amd64
result: black screen, fan runs at 100% after a minute or two

[Code].....

I tried dd'ing a disk image to my new partition as described here and here with the desktop amd64 and i386 images, got a few different errors - once syslinux complaining "Error: No configuration file found" when the drive I dd'd from wasn't properly unmounted before bringing it to the Air, once I chose the drive in refit, refit displayed the single logo, and it never booted, and once I got an error I didn't copy down about needing a boot floppy.

Has anyone successfully booted Ubuntu from USB key on the Air? Exactly how did you prepare which image?

Ubuntu / Apple :: Installing 11.04 On MacBook Pro (5,3)?

Aug 10, 2011

I've been trying to install 11.04 on my MacBook Pro for the past couple weeks, and I'm getting pretty frustrated with it. When I try to boot from a DVD, I either get a blank screen with just a flashing cursor, or it will ask me if I want to try, install, or verify the disc, after which I will get a bunch of different-colored blocks all around the screen.

I have installed past versions of Ubuntu on this computer with no problems, so I'm pretty stumped now on why I'm having this problem. Also, I've tried the Ubuntu Wiki and sticky thread on this forum, but nothing in either seems to help. Additionally, I have installed Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. I don't think it'd effect anything, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Slackware :: HDA Intel Macbook 4,1 No Sound

Nov 17, 2010

I think it's the HDA Intel anyway. In alsaconf it comes up with, 'hda-intel Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller', and I select that one. When I do, 'aplay /home/emor/sample.wav' it says it's playing but I don't here any audio. I've tried various configurations on both the alsamixer and the graphical XFCE sound mixer, and neither have really done anything. [URL]...

Ubuntu / Apple :: Macbook Pro 5, 5 - Touchpad In Karmic

Jan 20, 2010

I recently bought a macbook pro 5,5 (unibody) and I'm running both OSX and Ubuntu 9.10. I love the laptop, but I've been having some issues with the touchpad in karmic.

In OSX, I can keep my thumb on the bottom of the touchpad as if it were a button and operate the rest of the touchpad as normal. With my thumb on the bottom of the pad, I can still click and drag and use two finger scrolling.

In ubuntu, I've used the instructions from[url]

If I have a thumb on the touchpad, it always assumes I'm two-finger scrolling. I've tried synclient BottomEdge=600, but it doesn't make any difference.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Install On Macbook Pro Without DVD Drive?

Apr 11, 2010

I have a Macbook Pro with a b0rked DVD drive, and want to install Ubuntu on it.

I have followed the instructions here: [URL]

But when rebooting and holding ALT, I don't get the option of booting from USB.

Possibly related, when I view the USB drive in Disk Utility it's marked as "Bootable: no" :

I've tried this with two different USB sticks.

I've also burned a Ubuntu install disk from the original ISO, loaded it into another mac and started that mac in Target Disk Mode. Then I connected them with Firewire, rebooted the mac *without* the disc drive, held ALT and chose the shared disc as the boot device. Though weirdly it was named "Windows". Sadly, I then got a message on a black background saying it was not a bootable device.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Microphone And Speakers On Macbook Air 2,1 ?

Ubuntu / Apple :: How To Install Lucid On MacBook Pro 5.3

Apr 30, 2010

I have created a partition through Boot Camp, downloaded the 64 bit Intel installer for PC and Mac, verified the checksum, burned a CD from its image (on the second try), but when I try to boot up from that CD, rEFIt refuses because of a "legacy" problem. I assumed it would be a live CD, from which I could do the installation; am I wrong, is there another way to install from it? My MacBook Pro 5,3 is the one exception to having its own installation page.

Ubuntu / Apple :: 10.04 CD Doesn't Boot On MacBook 5,2?

May 14, 2010

I downloaded and burned the 32-bit desktop edition of Lucid Lynx (ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso) but can't boot it on my MacBook model 5,2. I've installed rEFIt. When I boot from the CD holding down the C key on hearing the boot chime, Ubuntu doesn't boot. A purple background with a keyboard and the accessibility icon shows up, then the screen goes black with a blinking underscore at the top left corner. After a little while, the marker disappears and the screen goes black. After that, nothing happens. I left my MacBook that way for a couple of minutes, but still nothing happened. Any clues about what the problem may be? Should I wait longer at the black screen? I burned the CD at low speed (16x) and verified the disc after burning.
