You may need to apply some of the adjustments listed below. For further discussions, see: Ubuntu Apple Users forum

Note that this fix must be manually applied to allow fans to work.

MacBookPro 10,1 and Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin)


The Macbook Pro 10,1 is only recently released. However, it is possible to run Ubuntu 12.04 Precise on it. For now please refer to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2006475 <br> As always, please be especially careful to setup your fan control first. Especially this MBP gets hot very fast.


This page aims to describe the steps needed, to fully enable all/most features of the 15.3 (mbp 10,1) and probably other 10-th Generation MacBookPro (release date: June 2012) when using Ubuntu 12.04, Precise Pangolin.

IconsPage/users.png The MactelSupportTeam is about to restructure and reorganize the documentation for Intel-based Macs. If you are interested in helping, please visit our team page for information. For all Mactel wikis, there is a starting place here. There is also a thread about planning the Mactel documentation going on.
