hi mysticus, i install leopard 10.5.6 on my samsung nc10, i install chud 4.6.1 but don't work the headphone, the sound card work perfectly but when i put the headphone, i don't hear anything.... How can i do? help please

 Mysticus C*, I have an external USB DVD drive. Can I just use this instead of the ddmac method? It seems that burning the iso to a dvd and putting the dvd in the drive seems like less work then all the ddmac partitioning and copying of files to the HDD.

Does it complicate things for installation? What should I know how to do?


Thank you.

also, what if i would like to install ubutntu?

[SilSha]

you can do it with the external dvd drive.

that is how i did it. it was very easy.

just plugin, insert the dvd, boot from the external drive.

install. thats all

Anything I use (UnrarX, MacPAR) gives CRC error and says "....part01.rar corrupted or password incorrect". Stuffit expander just hangs. Redownloading part01 doesn't jelp.

OTOH I'm 30% through with the torrent, it picked up some speed.

Are you trying to use a password? I seem to recall '4all' was the password to the rar archive.

yes, I'm using "4all", doesn't work. Are there md5 sums available for the partN.rar files? I would like to track down what is corrupted, even if the torrent finishes tomorrow.

i used 4all yesterday and it worked.

So what do i do now to get to 10.5.6? do i have to start over and do the ddmac with the nc10.5.6 and if i do, can i just delete the os x partitions and then redo everything in ur guide? thanks

@Rukawa-
I THINK you should be able to:
1. Download the 10.5.6 combo update pkg from Apple and mount the disk image.
2. Download the Mysticus C 10.5.6 fix from Biketown. It is in the "update" section, and go down to the "related files" flashing link he's put there. It is the NC10 10.5.6 Install.pkg.zip. Put the program on your desktop.
3. Run the 10.5.6 combo update from Apple, but DO NOT restart at the end. Instead, just minimize it.
4. Run the Mysticus 10.5.6 install - it will fix your drivers.
5. Then you should be able to restart via the Apple combo update installer that you minimized and be in 10.5.6.

I have not done this with the Jas distro myself, but I THINK it should work. If not, then no harm since you'd likely be re-installing the 10.5.6 iso anyway. This worked for me using the msiwindosx86 install thought.

hey djkwai thanks again, i'm doing it now, i'll tell you how it goes. i also did the msiwindosx86 install, i just thought it was the same as jas haha. so from reading the last few pages, i should install chud first, and then follow the rest of the guide in doing the brightness fix and changing brightness icons and trackpad fix. my trackpad works its just that its overly sensitive at some parts, is that what the fix fixes?

A little note about the Superhai GenericPowerManagement.kext: I've been using it for 2 weeks now. Seems to run fine, but today I had a kernel panic for the third time. All three times Quicktime player was running, so it might be related to a sound driver or the mpeg codec. Anyone had a similar experience?

With the kext in place, though, I managed to get 7 hours of battery life instead of 5.5. Fan is also more silent.

[rukawa11]

ok so it says to restart and i double clicked on NC10 10.5.6 Install.pkg.zip and it said could not open. and then i closed it and double clicked again, it does nothing, it just maximizes the combo update window to restart? any ideas?

edit: got it, had to click show package contents, and THEN double click that.

FINALLY SUCCESS!!!! I LOVE ALL OF YOU.

I don't know if its me getting used to it or did the nc10install.pkg do it, but the trackpad feels pretty damn normal instead of overly sensitive after the 10.5.6+mysticus fix.

[ Mysticus C*]

rukawa: do you see what you are doing wrong?

hey mysticus i finally installed os x and got it to run on my first try thanks to ur great guide. And i dl'd the whole 10.5.6 dvd from the 20 shragle links. I extracted and double clicked the iso and it mounted. What was I supposed to do to upgrade it to 10.5.6?

it was already 10.5.6 and you were just tryig to update it to 10.5.6 for no reason

ciacil: read post#1 in what works what doesnt

cloud: your download manager corrupting your files? or you have some other problem on your system, just find the problem file and redownload it proparly... noone else had the trouble you are having...

marinjr: thanx for the info, and i hope people who wants to extend the battery life will take it into consideration...

Also waiting for my touchscreen kit to arrive finally thanx for all the donators

Mysticus C*,

I was just wondering about the Touch Screen myself. Is there a lot of support for it? is it worth getting or should I wait until there is more support for it?

All the best

bummer that...just downloading from Safari, no problem apparent with my otherwise stable system.
I will redownload everything from Firefox and report back.

[horner]

Can anyone advise me how I can get the trackpad preference pane back into my System Settings? The trackpad on my NC10 is way too sensitive!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[ Mysticus C*]

nscxp: there is win osx linux support for the touch screen, drivers are there for all 3 os, so it should work just fine, however i dont have any hands on experience just yet... will see...

horner: read the post#1 carefully next time... go to bike town / update / samsung nc10 files link / touchpadfix is there! make sure you read the post#1 carefully

You could try to extract RARs with RAR Expander (http://rarexpander.sourceforge.net).
It often succeds in expanding multi-part passworded RARs, that - for example - Stuffit isn't able to manage sometimes.

You should not have Stuffit installed on your mac, it's turned into a horrible piece of software over the years. For an alternative .sit decompressor, try The Unarchiver.

Thanks Mysticus C*.

Can't wait to see you guide!

Touchscreen is coming on monday, so will have to wait a bit... I will try to record everything in 1280x720 res so hopefully it will be easy to view... but probably video size will be kind of big, will try to cut the crap and will only show the parts that needs to be viewed...

[NSCXP2005]

excellent!!
