similar to: CentOS 5.2 and wired Ethernet on a Macbook Pro?

FYI, I just installed CentOS 5 beta with the SMP kernel in a VMWare fusion virtual machine on my 2.33 GHz 15 inch MacBook Pro. The installation was flawless. I installed from an NFS share on my network with the ISO images. The vm booted disc one and recognized my 802.11n wireless connection as eth0. The install took about 30 minutes. Everything worked fine... -Joe

After a long, and quite disheartening, series of hardware problems with my HP laptop I decided to try out a Mac (late 2009 Intel based 19.5 inch). In the months since January past I have discovered this to be no significant improvement and I have grown tired of the persistent wireless connectivity problems and am totally put off by the upgrade to OSX-10.6.4 which killed HD graphics using Open-Gl.

Hi Everyone, I've been happy with my setup the last 2 years, and I just bought a new router - D-Link DIR-655. I was connecting wireless and wired and noticed the following before tweaking: Wired 100 Mbps ============== Macbook to Ubuntu: 56 Mbps Windows to Ubuntu: 72 Mbps Wireless N (Connected at 130 Mbps ... Apple's fault) ================================================== == Macbook

Did anybody succeed in installing CentOS on a MacBook Pro with nVidia chipset (2010 edition, http://www.heise.de/mac-and-i/produkte/macbook-13-2-4-ghz-mitte-2010-86/#produkt_detail)? When I boot with the current minimal install disk, Linux does simply see non disks. Regards, Peter -- Peter Hopfgartner R3 GIS http://www.r3-gis.com

Hi, I am trying to read some files using read.csv and total size of those files are 3.99 GB. I am using MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM(snow leopard). I also tried to run a chunk from those files and altogether the size was 1.33 GB. But every time I was getting the following error R(1200) malloc: *** mmap(size=16777216) failed (error code=12) *** error: can't allocate region *** set a breakpoint in

Hi, Some time ago I installed CentOS 7 on an older MacBook Pro for a client, since she couldn't install a more recent version of Mac OS X on it. The installation was a bit of an adventure, and I wrote a little article about it: https://blog.microlinux.fr/centos-7-macbook-pro/ I made this installation about a year ago, and the only thing I changed since then is replacing Xfce by GNOME. I

Hi all, I have recently acquired a Macbook Pro (sweet machine!) from my employer, and one of the tasks the machine has to do is to run a distributed software development platform (called Splice) under Linux. For this task, I have chosen the trusty CentOS 4.4, and I have it set up in Parallels. So far, so good. Now then, the network does work within CentOS, but I want to assign it a fixed

I just recently purchased a Macbook Pro, Intel Core Duo 2GHz, 512 MB RAM. After looking through several articles in this forum I found the link to the R Mac Wiki. I am not that tech-savy but it appeared to me that this link, http://wiki.urbanek.info/index.cgi?IntelMacR describes how to install R on a Intel Mac Core Duo to utilise the two cores. I have also downloaded and installed the

Hi, Recently i bought a macbook pro retina, and since i''ve been happily running Xen on my server machine for quite a few years now, i decided to install it to the macbook as well so that i can use it to try out new features before implementing them on the server. Before trying xen, i''ve gone through the motion of installing Ubuntu 13.10, which is now running smoothly.

Hi, Did anybody have success with running Syslinux on a MacBook Pro? I didn't manage, but I admittedly have no idea about UEFI. I've also heard that these machines deviate from the UEFI spec in some way... -- Thanks, Feri

I just performed a fresh install of 64-bit Centos 5 on a system, booted fine, then performed a yum update, or at least tried to. Files downloaded, and were about to install, when it complained that the gpg keys could not be found. I ran into this about a month ago and found a web page showing the path locally to where the keys live, and providing rpm --import /to/the/path. But of course now

Ok, I'm finally of a mindset to replace my now tired, aging Dell Inspiron 600m. I'm currently running Fedora Core on it, and am fairly happy with the software. Has anybody used CentOS on a Macbook Pro? What gotchas are there? (The first that comes to mind is the lack of a right mousebutton) Scouting on the Internet, I've seen that some people have trouble getting sound to work.
