Just upgraded my MacBook Air 3,1 (11" Late 2010) from Maverick to Natty Beta 1.
Trackpad stopped working. Any idea why this happened and how to fix this?
I got this late 2010 11" MacBook Air. I'm having issues with NVIDIA graphics, especially with GNOME Shell.
I'm thinking about selling this to switch to the new MacBook Pro, particularly the entry level 13" (see specs here), because of the Intel HD Graphics 3000. I assume that it will be more FOSS-friendly.
I just want to point out that there are non-negotiable reasons why I'm keeping an Apple hardware at the moment, so let's keep this on topic.
- Will the MacBook Pro Early 2011 work better with Ubuntu than the Air Late 2010?
- Any other factors than the graphics hardware?
- Should we expect better NVIDIA graphics anytime soon?
Is there an alternative to rEFIt as a bootloader where you can choose between OS X and Ubuntu? I already installed Ubuntu on my Mac with rEFIt, so if there's a better option, I can remove it now.
I'm exploring, mainly because I want one with a more appealing UI. Other improvements are still very much welcome, though.
Got a MacBook Air 3,1 11" w/ 128GB SSD. Configuring for dual boot. I intend to have a shared drive where I'll store my media. What filesystem is best?
They say FAT32 is best for cross-platform compatibility, but the maximum size for file transfer is 4GB, which could be an issue for my media transfer.
What's the best filesystem to share between OS X and Ubuntu?
I'm planning to make a complete install of Ubuntu on an external hard drive in order to use Ubuntu without touching my internal hard drive. Does it have limitations? Will it perform slower than a "real" install or something?
