Still in 2012 this _was_ a problem for me (on a MacBook Pro 5,1) up until a few minutes ago :confused:. I had, on a clean Oneiric install, non-functional:

Apologies for the indirectly relevant question: why is v86d eating up the CPUs?

Not really... 8-[ But even booting with the battery not present gives the same 129 degrees readings.

Thanks for all the work :-)

Yes. But, why set to 129 degrees when readings are not available (unplugged battery)? What is the motivation behind this? Can it not be set to N/A or the like? Or something that macfanctld will...

Yep, those files were ok. All of it is

I started using macfanctld in the summer (...dunno when exactly, August?). The thing with the above commands is the following (me thinks):

Till now, as many times as I have checked dmesg I always read lots of read/write arg fail.

To make this more clear, I mean "till now = since last week(s) with the new applesmc". Sorry for not...

Hi!



As far as I remember, never.



Till now, as many times as I have checked dmesg I always read lots of read/write arg fail.

Me too, I am an almost OS-X ignorant except that I like the look and feel. Before the decision to go for the MBP, I've searched almost every little thing to compare with similar laptops. And I was...

OS-X is (in my humble opinion unfortunately) a requirement for firmware upgrades. Think thrice before selecting the Ubuntu-only way.

If this works there will be a 20+ seconds cut-off from waiting rEFIt, etc. Then again, e.g. when in need to check for firmware updates (=boot in OSX), booting OSX won't be possible, right?

metatech,

you know very well what you are doing. I am just trying to help by making sure important information (I read) is on your list since I am not able to truly help (with coding, etc.).

Hi!

I have access to a LaserJet 4 MPlus printer but I have no idea how to set it up via a local LAN. Is there a step-by-step guide?

Not sure why I did not read your post before (as it was before my question). So, you also did an on-line upgrade on the MacBook Pro 5,1 without problems?

Cheers!

Folks,

successful on-line upgrade here under Kubuntu Karmic Koala 64-bit to Kubuntu Lucid Lynx 64-bit :D

I've checked if grub is installed under /dev/sda (not /dev/sda3) and I got both before...

Anybody upgraded to Lucid an MBP5,1?

Thanks
