## page was copied from MacBookPro3-1/Karmic ||<>|| = MacBookPro 3,1 and Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) = This page aims to describe the steps needed, to fully enable all features of the '''3rd Generation MacBookPro''' (release date: late 2007) when using '''Ubuntu 10.10, codename Maverick Meerkat'''. You can find out, what model you have by typing at the terminal: {{{ sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name }}} If you have a different model, please go [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages|here]] and find the right wiki. == Overview == Anything not mentioned here probably already works out of the box. If not, please refer to the [[http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=328|Ubuntu Apple Users forum]]. ||Feature|| Support status|| || Sound || {{attachment:IconsPage/ok.png}} {{attachment:IconsPage/info.png}} || || Suspend & Hibernate || {{attachment:IconsPage/ok.png}} {{attachment:IconsPage/info.png}} || || Desktop Effects (Compiz & Kwin) || {{attachment:IconsPage/ok.png}} || || HFS+ || {{attachment:IconsPage/ok.png}} || || Keyboard layout || {{attachment:IconsPage/ok.png}} || || Keyboard functions (Brightness,volume,...) || {{attachment:IconsPage/ok.png}} {{attachment:IconsPage/info.png}} || || CD/DVD Writing || {{attachment:IconsPage/ok.png}} || || Bluetooth || {{attachment:IconsPage/ok.png}} || || External Monitor || {{attachment:IconsPage/ok.png}} || || Wireless (Air``Port) || {{attachment:IconsPage/ok.png}} || || iSight || {{attachment:IconsPage/ok.png}} || || Touchpad (appletouch) || {{attachment:IconsPage/ok.png}} || || Mic || {{attachment:IconsPage/ok.png}} || || Apple Remote Control || {{attachment:IconsPage/question.png}} || || Firewire || {{attachment:IconsPage/ok.png}} || {{attachment:IconsPage/ok.png}} (works out-of-the-box) <

> == Basic Installation Instructions == Common things about installing and maintaining Ubuntu on Intel-based Macs: [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation|Intel CPU-based Macintosh Generic Installation Instructions]] Also, both Ubuntu and Kubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat CD's do not boot properly. If you install 10.04 and then do an online upgrade, you will have a system with only the issues described below. == Sound == A little hack has to be edited to hear something. {{{ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf }}} scroll down to search ''snd-hda-intel'', add ''model=mbp3'' like this: {{{ options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N model=mbp3 }}} and save and reboot. == Suspend & Hibernate == If your screen remains blank when waking from sleep then you may need to install the proprietary NVIDIA graphics card driver. This can be done by going to Hardware Drivers in the Administration menu. == Keyboard functions (Brightness,volume,...) == By default functions keys are usable with the ''fn'' key. That means that when using ''F1'' you get ''Brightness down'' and if you want ''F1'' you should use simultaneously ''fn'' and ''F1''. If you want to get the opposite (functions keys first) you should pass an option to ''hid-apple'' module: {{{ echo "options hid-apple fnmode=2" | sudo tee/etc/modprobe.d/hid-apple.conf sudo update-initramfs -u -v -k `uname -r` }}} Keyboard brightness is not managed out of the box this way. If you want that feature you need to install ''pommed'' package and configure it as needed: {{{ sudo apt-get install pommed gksudo gedit /etc/pommed.conf }}} To keep the configuration the same as that mentioned above, be sure to change {{{ fnmode=1 }}} to be {{{ fnmode=2 }}} Also a reboot may be required. == Touchpad == The touchpad works out of the box in the following way: * Button 1 (left) is clicked when you click on the button just under the touchpad, * Button 2 (middle) is clicked when three fingers are on the touchpad and you click on button 1, * Button 3 (right) is clicked when two fingers are on the touchpad and you click on button 1, ---- [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CategoryMac|CategoryMac]] ---- <
