1. Boot on Mac OS X 2. Install/Run BootCamp 3. Install rEFIt (http://refit.sf.net) Note: the following manual steps are not necessary with the latest version of rEFIt. Simply running the rEFIt.mpkg will take care of the details automatically. 1. Install mac image 2. Copy efi to root directory (drag efi folder to MacOs disk) 3. Open a mac os terminal (in utilities) 4. cd /efi/refit 5. ./enable-always.sh == Partitioning == Note: I've also managed to do this automatically by using DiskUtil from Mac OS X DVD, but if you do this, leave the partitions partitioned but unformated except for Mac OS X partition, because Bootcamp installation requires single Mac partition!; and you also going to have to reboot after installation on to Ubuntu Live CD again and update grub mannualy. In a Mac os X terminal, partition the disc : {{{ sudo diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2 49G }}} That sets 49G for MacOsX and the rest for Linux For triple boot: {{{ sudo diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2 49G Linux Linux 35G "MS-DOS FAT32" Windows 63G }}} == Install Windows Vista == 1. Boot, in refit, choose the Windows DVD. 2. Launch Install, format Bootcamp partition with NTFS file system and procede with the installer, at reboot choose the Windows Hard Disk. 3. Install drivers from Apple Mac OS X 10.5 DVD |

1. Boot on Ubuntu Live CD 2. Click install on disk in Ubuntu 3. Choose a manual partition : Select Linux Partition and check out the format box option (as ext3 filesystem) - Do not erase or format anything else!!! 4. Define mount : - If possible, do not mount /mount/EFI (select white item in list) - Mount Linux partition as: / - Mount Windows partition as: /media/Windows 5. Click on Advanced Options before proceding with the installaton and modify Grub to install on (hd0,2) == Swap File == This is useful if you already have too many partitions on your macbook and want to put the swap file directly on the main / partition. Code: {{{ sudo /bin/bash dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=2048000 mkswap /swapfile swapon /swapfile }}} Edit /etc/fstab: {{{ /swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0 }}} Note: You can use suspend on disk with a swapfile. To do that we have to add an option passed to the kernel. Add the resume=/dev/<partition> resume_offset=<offset to the swapfile in blocks> : {{{ sudo filefrag -v /swapfile #output : First block: 102300 #... }}} Copy the first block number of the swapfile (ex:102300) and edit the defoptions line of /boot/grub/menu.lst : {{{ defoptions=quiet splash resume=/dev/sda3 resume_offset=102300 }}} On this example, the swapfile is on partition /dev/sda3. You are now able to use suspend on disk (hibernate). == Suspend == Suspend is broken in Ubuntu 7.10 on many first-generation MacBooks as well as some later-generation MacBooks and MacBook Pros. In particular, these machines will go into suspend, but will not come out of suspend. This is because the kernel supplied with 7.10 has some issues which prevent this from working. To fix this you will have to download an older version of the Linux kernel that is known to work. The latest known version to work is 2.6.22-12, which you can download by installing the packages at the locations pointed to below. Be sure to install them in the order as they appear here : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/i386/linux-image-2.6.22-12-generic/2.6.22-12.39 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/i386/linux-headers-2.6.22-12/2.6.22-12.39 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/i386/linux-headers-2.6.22-12-generic/2.6.22-12.39 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/i386/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-12-generic/2.6.22-12.32 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/i386/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-12-generic/2.6.22.4-12.3 After installing, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the default=0 line to default=2 (if the newly-installed kernel is the third listed in the menu.lst file, which it should be when installed on a stock Gutsy install). Restart your MacBook for the update to take effect. Note: You will have to reinstall any wireless drivers you may have installed in the past and graphic card drivers too. == Video == Install ATI's Catalyst official drivers 8.42.3 with AIGLX working!! thanks to the poster of this forum topic : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=591066 Note: If you follow everything exactly you will succeed!, I didnt and only got it working on the 5th attempt.. so take special attention to step 11 .

To calibrate the screen colors (in order to match OS X), you need to install xcalib. This isn't available in the Ubuntu repositories, so you'll have to download it. Go to http://www.etg.e-technik.uni-erlangen.de/web/doe/xcalib/ and (if you are running i386) download the newest Linux binary; save it to the Desktop. (If you are running amd64, you'll need to compile it from source; make sure to install libxxf86vm-dev and libxext-dev first, and then simply make xcalib in the extracted source directory. Take the resulting xcalib binary and continue with these instructions.) To install and configure it, you will need to do a few things in the terminal and mount a Mac OS X partition (to copy your color profile) as follows (substitute your Mac OS partition's partition number for x in /dev/sdax, 2 being the first standard partition): {{{ sudo mv ~/Desktop/xcalib /usr/local/bin/xcalib sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/xcalib sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdax /mnt sudo cp /mnt/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/* /usr/local/etc }}} Then, do an "ls /usr/local/etc" and note the name of the profile (for the next step). Finally, add the following line to the end of either /etc/gdm/Init/Default (for standard Ubuntu/Gnome) or /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsetup (for Kubuntu/KDE), before the final "exit" statement: {{{ /usr/local/bin/xcalib "/usr/local/etc/<insert name of profile here>" }}} Restart X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) and your Mac OS X color profile will load as X starts. == Audio == 1. Add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base: {{{ install snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-hda-intel $CMDLINE_OPTS && /lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-hda-intel }}} 2. Increase the volume (both using the key combination and the system tray applet) to its maximum possible value. 3. Right-click on the volume applet and choose Preferences. Select "PCM" as the device to control. 4. Open the Sound preferences (System-Preferences-Sound in GNOME). Select "PCM" as the device to control. == Wireless == To install: {{{ sudo aptitude install build-essential wget http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-trunk-current.tar.gz tar -zxvf madwifi<tab> cd madwifi<tab> |

Ubuntu Gutsy on MacBook Pro - UPDATED!
Preface
For the Gutsy 7.10 release, Applys to MacBook Pro generation 1(CoreDuo) & 2(Core2Duo), and MacBook.
If you have a MacBook Pro generation 3(SantaRosa) also check the wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro/SantaRosa
For more information :
http://www.mactel-linux.org/wiki/Main_Page
http://modular.math.washington.edu/macbook/
- Thanks to Ubuntu forum members for their feedback and the people providing
drivers for Linux on Macbook especially Nicolas Boichat, Ronald S. Bultje, Jan Bernhardt, Ludovic Rousseau ... and me 
, my name is João Pedro Serrano and I live in Portugal.
Contact: Ubuntu community nickname Fuz2y / Fuz2yPt ; email - fuz2y@netcabo.pt
Mac OS X Installation
1. It may be useful for firmware update or hardware check ..
2. Boot on Mac OS X DVD holding Alt key
3. Follow installation instruction.
Boot Menu installation
1. Boot on Mac OS X
2. Install/Run BootCamp
3. Install rEFIt (http://refit.sf.net)
- Note: the following manual steps are not necessary with the latest version of rEFIt. Simply running the rEFIt.mpkg will take care of the details automatically.
1. Install mac image 2. Copy efi to root directory (drag efi folder to MacOs disk) 3. Open a mac os terminal (in utilities) 4. cd /efi/refit 5. ./enable-always.sh
Partitioning
Note: I've also managed to do this automatically by using DiskUtil from Mac OS X DVD, but if you do this, leave the partitions partitioned but unformated except for Mac OS X partition, because Bootcamp installation requires single Mac partition!; and you also going to have to reboot after installation on to Ubuntu Live CD again and update grub mannualy. In a Mac os X terminal, partition the disc :
sudo diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2 49G
That sets 49G for MacOsX and the rest for Linux
- For triple boot:
sudo diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2 49G Linux Linux 35G "MS-DOS FAT32" Windows 63G
Install Windows Vista
1. Boot, in refit, choose the Windows DVD.
2. Launch Install, format Bootcamp partition with NTFS file system and procede with the installer, at reboot choose the Windows Hard Disk.
3. Install drivers from Apple Mac OS X 10.5 DVD
Install Linux Ubuntu
1. Boot on Ubuntu Live CD
2. Click install on disk in Ubuntu
3. Choose a manual partition : Select Linux Partition and check out the format box option (as ext3 filesystem)
- - Do not erase or format anything else!!!
4. Define mount :
- - If possible, do not mount /mount/EFI (select white item in list) - Mount Linux partition as: / - Mount Windows partition as: /media/Windows
5. Click on Advanced Options before proceding with the installaton and modify Grub to install on (hd0,2)
Swap File
- This is useful if you already have too many partitions on your macbook and want to put the swap file directly on the main / partition. Code:
sudo /bin/bash dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=2048000 mkswap /swapfile swapon /swapfile
- Edit /etc/fstab:
/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
Note: You can use suspend on disk with a swapfile. To do that we have to add an option passed to the kernel. Add the resume=/dev/<partition> resume_offset=<offset to the swapfile in blocks> :
sudo filefrag -v /swapfile #output : First block: 102300 #...
- Copy the first block number of the swapfile (ex:102300) and edit the defoptions line of /boot/grub/menu.lst :
defoptions=quiet splash resume=/dev/sda3 resume_offset=102300
- On this example, the swapfile is on partition /dev/sda3. You are now able to use suspend on disk (hibernate).
Suspend
Suspend is broken in Ubuntu 7.10 on many first-generation MacBooks as well as some later-generation MacBooks and MacBook Pros. In particular, these machines will go into suspend, but will not come out of suspend. This is because the kernel supplied with 7.10 has some issues which prevent this from working. To fix this you will have to download an older version of the Linux kernel that is known to work. The latest known version to work is 2.6.22-12, which you can download by installing the packages at the locations pointed to below. Be sure to install them in the order as they appear here :

- After installing, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the default=0 line to default=2 (if the newly-installed kernel is the third listed in the menu.lst file, which it should be when installed on a stock Gutsy install).
Restart your MacBook for the update to take effect. Note: You will have to reinstall any wireless drivers you may have installed in the past and graphic card drivers too.

- Install ATI's Catalyst official drivers 8.42.3 with AIGLX working!! thanks to the poster of this forum topic :
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=591066
- Note: If you follow everything exactly you will succeed!, I didnt and only got it working on the 5th attempt.. so take special attention to step 11 . Also if you got the error of "LibGL.so.1" do this:
sudo ln -f /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
- Here's my xorg.conf (it works with all settings, single, clone, and big desktop to extended monitor!!!) :
Note: use ATI Catalyst Control Center > Applications > Accessories > to change any of this mods(clone,single,big desktop) or to change screen resolution or to disable/enable monitors.

Screen Colors
I've noticed that many MacBooks really need this tweak in order to visualize correctly screen colors. To calibrate the screen colors (in order to match OS X), you need to install xcalib. This isn't available in the Ubuntu repositories, so you'll have to download it.
Go to http://www.etg.e-technik.uni-erlangen.de/web/doe/xcalib/ and (if you are running i386) download the newest Linux binary; save it to the Desktop. (If you are running amd64, you'll need to compile it from source; make sure to install libxxf86vm-dev and libxext-dev first, and then simply make xcalib in the extracted source directory. Take the resulting xcalib binary and continue with these instructions.) To install and configure it, you will need to do a few things in the terminal and mount a Mac OS X partition (to copy your color profile) as follows (substitute your Mac OS partition's partition number for x in /dev/sdax, 2 being the first standard partition):
sudo mv ~/Desktop/xcalib /usr/local/bin/xcalib sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/xcalib sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdax /mnt sudo cp /mnt/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/* /usr/local/etc
- Then, do an "ls /usr/local/etc" and note the name of the profile (for the next step). Finally, add the following line to the end of either /etc/gdm/Init/Default (for standard Ubuntu/Gnome) or /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsetup (for Kubuntu/KDE), before the final "exit" statement:
/usr/local/bin/xcalib "/usr/local/etc/<insert name of profile here>"
- Restart X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) and your Mac OS X color profile will load as X starts.
Audio
1. Add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base:
install snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-hda-intel $CMDLINE_OPTS && /lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-hda-intel
2. Increase the volume (both using the key combination and the system tray applet) to its maximum possible value.
3. Right-click on the volume applet and choose Preferences. Select "PCM" as the device to control.
4. Open the Sound preferences (System-Preferences-Sound in GNOME). Select "PCM" as the device to control.
Wireless
- To install:
sudo aptitude install build-essential wget http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-trunk-current.tar.gz tar -zxvf madwifi<tab> cd madwifi<tab> make sudo make install
- If you want you can alternatively get the sources by SVN
svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk madwifi)
- At this point the driver should work and wifi will be enabled after reboot. Alternatively you can use these commands to insert the driver into the running kernel:
sudo modprobe ath_pci sudo modprobe wlan_scan_sta
Temperatures & Fan Speed
Hard Disk Temperature
sudo apt-get install hddtemp sudo hddtemp /dev/sda
- That prints the temperature of your harddisk
CPUs Temperature & Fan Speed
sudo modprobe applesmc sensors
- That prints temperatures of both CPUs and Fan Speed
Fan Speed Control
sudo modprobe applesmc echo applesmc | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
and then add the following line to /etc/rc.local :
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan1_manual echo 3000 > /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan1_output echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan2_manual echo 3000 > /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan2_output
CPU Settings
I've only tested this on MacBook Pro generation 2(Core2Duo), so contribute here please! =) I've noticed that if cpu frequency governator settings are set to "ondemand" both CPUs are running 20ºC cooler so add this to /etc/rc.local :
modprobe acpi_cpufreq modprobe cpufreq_ondemand modprobe applesmc modprobe i2c-i801 modprobe eeprom modprobe coretemp sensors -s cpufreq-set -c 0 -g ondemand cpufreq-set -c 1 -g ondemand
Reducing power consumption
- Install the powertop package :
sudo apt-get install powertop
- and run with "sudo powertop" in a terminal. Follow the instructions given as to reducing power consumption.
WebCam (iSight) & EKiga
- Install prerequisites and launch Ekiga (Ekiga may also be launched through the menus)
sudo apt-get install ekiga libpt-plugins-v4l2 ekiga
1.Configuration. You may have to select the iSight device. Edit > Preferences > Devices > Video Devices >
2.Video plugin: V4L2 3.Input device: Built-in iSight
- If you want to use it in 640x480 mode, then:
gconftool-2 --type integer --set /apps/ekiga/devices/video/size 1
Access Mac OS X & Windows Partition
- To do so edit /etc/fstab , here's mine :
# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 ## Linux ################################################################# /dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 ## Swap ################################################################## /swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0 ## EFI ################################################################### #/dev/sda1 /media/EFI vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 ## DVD-ROM ############################################################### /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 ## Macintosh ############################################################# /dev/sda2 /media/Macintosh hfsplus defaults 0 0 ## Windows ############################################################### /dev/sda4 /media/Windows ntfs defaults 0 0 ## Network ############################################################### # Server //Server/public /media/Server smbfs username=USER,password=PASSWORD 0 0 # Lacie 2TB //Lacie2TB/public /media/Lacie2TB smbfs username=USER,password=PASSWORD 0 0
- Then do the following in terminal:
sudo /bin/bash mkdir /media/Macintosh mkdir /media/Windows chmod 777 /media/Macintosh chmod 777 /media/Windows umount -a mount -a
Apple Remote Control
- Apple's Remote Control is working by default in Ubuntu 7.10, but only allows you to control the Volume. So here's the tweaks to get it working on with other applications:
sudo apt-get install inputlirc lirc lirc-x
- And edit /etc/rc.local and add:
/etc/init.d/inputlirc start
Then go to > System > Preferences > Sessions , and add the following to the autostart:
irexec & ~/.lircrc irxevent & ~/.lircrc
- And copy the following to ~/.lircrc file and the same for /etc/lirc/lircrc file :

Fonts like Mac OS X
- By default, Ubuntu uses a style of font rendering different than that used on Mac OS X. You may prefer fonts similar to those on Mac OS X, and you can have these on Ubuntu by doing the following:
1. Open the Appearance preference panel (System-Preferences-Appearance) 1. Click Fonts, and select the "Subpixel smoothing" option. 1. Click Details, and select "Slight" hinting. 1. Enjoy!
