General ::Live USB That Works With Snow Leopard Macbook Pro From 2010 ?

Jan 24, 2011

I was searching for a long time for a Linux Live USB that I can boot my MacBook Pro from. Is there such a distro I can install on Snow Leopard or Windows 7? Update: I've found this:

"isohybrid" CD images (..) are special in that as well as the normal CD-based ISO9660 filesystem they also contain a valid-looking DOS-style partition table. Thus, if you simply copy one of these images raw to a USB stick a normal PC BIOS will boot the image directly. (...)Finally: I'd like to add support into xorriso for creating the nasty HFS hybrid images that are needed for booting Macs. The code that does this in cdrkit is probably some of the worst that I've ever worked with, and,I'd like to get away from it. If only Apple hadn't stupidly built their proprietary platform around this and had used open standards instead

Jun 11, 2011

I'm looking to try and replace Snow Leopard with Ubuntu 10.04 on my 2007 Macbook.

Looked at a few of the wikis, and there seems to be a couple of issues with workarounds, but nothing major.

Has anyone done this to their Macbooks successfully?

Also, will I need to 'bless' it, as I no longer have an OSX discs

General :: Osx - NFS Share From OS X Snow Leopard To Ubuntu

Sep 1, 2010

I'm trying to share a some files on a Mac running Snow Leopard with a Ubuntu Linux.

The mount request gets a "permission denied", and a client system log contains "host xx requires a stronger authentication"

I've seen this problem referred to elsewhere, but no solution. This is a hack on a home network, and I really do want to "just do it" and damn the security flaws.

Recently upgraded Ubuntu home server from 8.04 client to 10.04 server and reinstalled all services therein. One of them is a Netatalk daemon that I configured in a fashion similar to this website:[URL]inder recognizes my server and the afp service, yet when I attempt to log in (using valid credentials), Finder indicates its the wrong username and password. I've tried altering some of the config files and my Google-fu to look for solutions

Ubuntu / Apple :: Starting Back Up Into OS X Snow Leopard?

May 29, 2010

I think I may have hastily installed Ubuntu on sister's Intel iMac. I'm not much of a techie and she'd asked me to make a dual boot system. I burned the ISO file and ran Boot Camp on her iMac and seemingly everything went through properly. However, upon restarting the system, I get a DOS-like page showing the boot options. Switching to 64-bit OS X resulted in a failed boot as did the option for 32-bit OS X. I'm in a bind as she needs to get back into OS X to work on her project.

Ubuntu Installation :: Triple Booting With Snow Leopard?

Oct 25, 2010

Hey there. Currently my Toshiba laptop is dual-booted with windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 and I think I may try and triple-boot it with Snow Leopard. I'm not too familiar at all with hackintoshes so, how should I go about configuring a partition for the OS?

Also: is there any known problems running windows and a mackintosh OS?

If someone can give me some insight here I can also provide my computer's specs.

Software :: Running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 In VirtualBox Slackware?

Jul 5, 2010

I've tried been trying my hardest and tried researching as much as I can to get Mac OS X Version 10.6.3 in VirtualBox in slackware. I've found a tutorial but it was for previous versions of Snow Leop and it hasn't seemed to help me get mine to run. I get to the part where it should start loading the cd (I purchased a copy of Snow Leopard from Amazon) and the closest I've gotten is to what seems to be a bootup and a loading page of some sort. The screen goes gray with a Mac "busy" mouse icon on the screen.

PS - Running Slack 12.1.0.

PPS - I have the Snow Leopard disc that has "boot camp" on it

Ubuntu Networking :: Printer Sharing With Windows 7 And Snow Leopard

Jun 26, 2010

I installed it on a desktop today to try it out. So far I'm loving it and have gotten everything to work except for one thing:

There's a printer connected to it (HP PSC 1600), and I'd like the other computers on the network to be able to print to that computer. The other computers are running Windows 7, and one is running Snow Leopard.

When I plugged in the printer, Ubuntu recognized it almost immediately and installed it. Wonderful! I then went ahead and set it to be Shared, and hoped for the best. Neither the Windows machine or the OS X machine could find the printer...even after I pointed them directly at what I thought was the CUPS address (\mycomputername:631). To make matters even more confusing, I was able to set up shared folders and have the other computers be able to view them.

Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Get Lucid System To See Snow Leopard / Solve That?

Oct 11, 2010

I'm unable to get my Ubuntu 10.04LTS to see my Mac 10.6.4 machine.

I've got Samba and AFP enabled under the Mac file sharing preferences.

Attempt1: From Ubuntu, I can see my Mac under Network>Places, but I'm unable to mount the location.

Attempt2: In Ubuntu, I went to Places>Connect to Server and entered the following:
Service: Windows Share
Server: [name of my mac]
Share: [name of my shared folder]
Folder:
User Name: [username]
Domain Name: WORKGROUP

With this entered, I was able to get as far as being prompted for my password, but was still unable to connect.

Attempt3: I followed the same steps above, but left Domain Name blank. Still nothing.

Are there any docs out there for the correct steps? I can only find posts on getting Mac to see Ubuntu, but not the other way around.

Ubuntu Installation :: Dual Boot Snow Leopard OSX With 10.10 Netbook

Dec 10, 2010

Perhaps I should have put this in the apple users section, but I am not an apple user. I am using a MSI WIND U100 running OSX snow leopard retail (GUID/GPT - boots using Chameleon).

I've been feeling guilty preaching open source while not currently practising what I preach so finally downloaded ubuntu 10.10 (netbook version) and using unetbootin I made the ISO bootable on an external USB drive.

I already had an empty 40gb partition which I'd intended to dual boot linux on so I went ahead and booted from the external and installed ubuntu. During the install I divided up the 40GB with 3GB for swap and 37GB as ext4 mount point /

Anyway, it installed and rebooted and loaded ubuntu fine using the default option in the auto installed GRUB. However, although the menu show my OSX it does not boot (ARGH!). When selected there is disk activity for a few seconds and then nothing, just blank screen.

I'm praying that I just need to tinker with grub or something to get my OSX back...

(PS> the [URL] forums have loads of info on dual/triple booting these hackintosh netbooks but mostly involving windows XP or windows 7 rather than ubuntu and also mostly about earlier OSX varieties which booted onto MBR partitions rather that GPT.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Can't Boot Into Snow Leopard Install Disc

Jan 7, 2011

I did a full install of Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro (7,1) and I am trying to boot into the OS X disc but the screen always pulls up the Apple logo and loading circle and then greys out and tells me to turn the machine off.

I cannot get into disc utility or anything. It almost seems like the computer doesn't know how to handle the disc. I did not use Refit and the only change I made to the boot loader was blessing the ubuntu partition.

Ubuntu :: Having An OSX Snow Leopard Dual Boot Setup - Ethernet Card Does Not Work

Sep 19, 2010

I booted ubuntu and the included drivers worked beautifully for my Atheros AR8131 PCI Ethernet card on my laptop. I have an OSX Snow Leopard dual boot setup and my Ethernet card does not work. I was wondering if, because OSX is loosely linux based, the network drivers could somehow be loaded into my Snow Leopard install.

Ubuntu :: Delete Snow Leopard Partition - Format Swap Disk Partition To Something Else

Feb 23, 2011

I had a drive with a partition layout like so:

~50gig Windows 7 - NTFS
~100gig Ubuntu - EXT3
~100gig Snow Leopard - HFS+
~100gig Extended Partition
-- ~100gig Swap Disk - exFat

I wanted to delete the Snow Leopard partition and format the Swap Disk partition to something else. exFat was causing major file size bloat on small files. QT sdk bloated to like 11 gigs or something ridiculous like that. Anyways, I loaded up an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS live cd and gparted then deleted the Snow Leopard partition. Gparted said "Mission Accomplished" and tried to rescan the drive, but never found it. At this point I restarted the computer, a dell laptop, which didn't boot with an unable to find a bootable device error. The ubuntu live cd doesn't see the drive anymore. gparted scans for drives indefinitely and fdisk -l has no output.

Ubuntu / Apple :: "better" Right Now, The Current Kernel Or The Snow Leopard One?

Jan 8, 2011

i think its XNU "darwin" that the macs use correct? is there even a way to determine which is better? i mean obviously the linux kernel gets updated more often so that would lead me to believe - and the fact they're both based roughly on the same unix architecture.

also, who is it thats doing the linux kernel updating? when we see all the distros getting the linux kernel update to 2.56 or whatever across all of them - whos doing that? is it Linus??

Ubuntu / Apple :: Getting A MacBook Air 11" Late 2010?

Dec 25, 2010

I'm getting one of those an 11" MacBook Air with 128gb SSD. 64gb might be too little for dual booting. Of course, I'll run Ubuntu on it. I'm choosing this hardware, because of the great form factor, aesthetics, trackpad, and ability to run OS X (as a UX designer, I want to do competitive analysis of the OS).It will be my first Mac. Any advice? Got tips on what I should start learning, getting used to, etc?

General :: Booting PCLOS 2010.11 Live CD On A Dell Latitude E6510?

Dec 6, 2010

When I boot from the CD, it starts to boot and then continously repeats:

Code

Initializing gfx code...
boot:
gfxboot:

It stops on boot for about 10 seconds each time then gfxboot for not even a second before the cycle continues. I have tried more than one CD, so I don't think that is the issue. It even did the exact same thing when I tried it on PCLOS 2010.10. Both versions I tried were KDE. trying to figure out how to get past this.
