Mac Mini 4,1 Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)



This page aims to describe the steps needed, to fully enable all features of the Mid-2010 Mac Mini unibody when using Ubuntu 10.04, Lucid Lynx.

Due to an unsupported chipset, standard Ubuntu will not currently install on the Mac Mini 4,1 (and the Macbook Pro 7.1). (reference: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1458341 ). An upstream kernel patch has been reported on Launchpad (reference: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/576601 ).
The patched kernel install can be downloaded from here http://macbookpro7-1.daviey.com/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64-macbook71.iso. This will work however disk access is slow until nVidia provides updated information to include in the kernel.
