MacBook Air :: Doesn't Run With Linux?
Feb 22, 2008
I have a home built P.C. that I run ubuntu on. It's a really kickass machine and contains everything I need, it runs the first intel quad core processor. My delimma(not really, just a hard choice) is that I can't decide on MBA or and MBP. If I get an MBP I can just keep running my PC as is. But if I get a MBA(which is all I really need) don't I need mac os x to use the features of my computer, like the disc drive and such to run on a MBA. Does the MBA run with Windows? Certainly it doesnt run with Linux?

I want to install it alongside my OSX install(specifically Mandriva) but I am not sure if it will work in Boot Camp or what not.

Is there a way to share a Linux Box DVD drive to the air so I can install OSX on the air?
I see in the video they use a WIN BOX.

I was just wondering what the dual boot options are for booting linux on a MacBook, does it go through Bootcamp or are there other options? Obviously I would prefer a native installation over a virtual machine.

I have installed Fedora 12 on my new 15" High Def Anti Glare MacBook Pro using Parallels. When Fedora runs, it runs in a small window in the center of the screen. I believe this is due to Fedora 12 not supporting the high def screen.

Whats the nest way to put it on my machine? Virtualising or Boot Camp? Any big issues I need to bare in mind with Mac compatibility? I read that there is some extra work to get the trackpad to work with linux, how easy is this to do?

So my old 15" early 2006 Macbook Pro (1,1) no loger recognizes the primary display. I can use an external monitor just fine, but when I go into System Profiler, it's like my primary display disappeared. I reinstalled Snow Leopard, reset PRAM, NVRAM, repaired my permissions, tried to update my mac, but litterally nothing I have tried has worked.
It started when I tried to install both Windows 7 and Ubuntu. After completing the Windows 7 installation, I restarted my computer and it just hung on the Apple logo. I could feel the fans begining to spin really fast and it felt like my laptop was on fire. I restarted my computer, let it cool down, and it hung at the Apple logo again. I rebooted it a final time, and nothing. Black screen. No backlight or image...nothing.

my laptop (macbook pro) doesn't turn on, because the battery doesn't work (may be because of moisture), and the 7 battery lights on the left side are off, and when I plug the charger in, the light on the magnetic socket turns on so dim ..

Is this possible on an Intel Mac since both Linux and Mac OS 10.6 are POSIX compliant, and Linux WordPerfect 8.0 was compiled for an x86 platform?

My office is getting rid of a bunch of old computer parts and one of them happens to be a B&W G3. As far as I know it works, the hard drive may be failing since it books up with the folder with a question mark on it. I don't know the full specs other than at least 128MB of RAM (there's two sticks and I can only tell what one of them says), not sure of anything else since it won't boot up.
It comes with an OS 8 disc but I'm sure something newer can run on it. What versions of Linux would be good to try out? I'm tempted to put it in the kitchen and make it a household computer but I'm not sure yet. Gotta see if its working all the way first...

I am interested in booting another OS, Besides OSX, such as linux, from a Flashdrive. I was wondering how I might go about actually getting this to work with OSX. I've found some versions of Linux that can boot from a Flashdrive, but I'm not sure how I would get my Macbook to recognize it.

I was just wondering if it was possible to install Linux on a partitioned part of my internal drive just to test it. I've never used Linux, so I wouldn't know.

I managed to mount mac OS X to a folder in Ubuntu. I did this by getting an answer on the following thread: [URL]. I was wondering how to mount the Ubuntu partition to my Mac OS X. The command lines aren't exactly the same. I want to do this so I can save a document in Mac OS X and not have to save it on Ubuntu as well.

i would really like to try linux on my mac mini. i love the idea of open-source. anyways, i feel i am a bit lost on what to do. with boot camp, there is a process that guides you along for installing windows on your mac. is there something similar for a version of linux or better yet, can it be installed via boot camp? i would like for me to be able to select my operating system at boot-up, similar as you can with boot camp.

I have been compiling and running a model (all fortran 90 scripts) on our university's Linux cluster test module. I purchased a MacBook about a year ago, and would like to learn how to compile and run my model on osx. To build my model in Linux, I set:
1. env. variables for MPI and NETCDF directories
2. flags for -llapack -lblas
3. user-specified fortran and c compiler overrides (fc and cc)
A colleague advised me to 'use gfortran as part of gcc 4.3+. To be installed by use of fink', but I honestly do not quite know where to begin doing all of this on my MacBook. If you can provide any guidance, point me to another forum / reference, I would greatly appreciate your time.

the hard drive on my macbook pro has died and i am in a foreign country with my install discs for os x in the attic of my house which is rented out! ive borrowed a friends install discs for his macbook pro just to see if i can repair the disk but its either not working because of the incompatibility or the hdd is just broken. i'm not dead set on using os x so i wondered if i can get a new hard drive and just boot with a linux install. i would like to continue using the firewire port for an external soundcard but apart from that i only want it for surfing and doing some php/apache web development.
Info:MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.7)
