Samsung NC10 UK revision, Updates / Installation / Modding etc, stuff will be here Options

[ Mysticus C*]

sry i edited my post because i dont wanted to spam your board. I have used the latest iso and have double checked everything so it was equel to your guide. After that i reinstall with checked box and now it runs

I wanted to give you the advice that if it´s possible to make the iso so that the checkbox is autochecked. I guess many people will just as I forget to click on customize in hurry because they mention that this ist a "fully" automized iso for samsung nc10:)

I appologize for the circumstances and wish you a happy new year!

pimmel

yeah it is kind of true i should have made it auto checked (only a matter of true/false value), but people should learn to read a bit carefully as well! ... i already said it in the guide to check bios screen, and customize window to choose the options... still people passing on important stuff...


i hope you started to enjoy your Samsung now...

Happy New Year to everyone... although a bit early

[DJKwai]

it seems all my problems were due to having installed patch v1.1 and not realising
that there was a 10.5.6 patch out ..... so i am very happy and now have a working battery
icon and prefs, many thanks.

Niteman - can you tell me exactly what you did to move the msiwindosx install on your nc10 from 10.5.4 to 10.5.6, plus the brightness and audio/chud packages? I was involved with this forum back when Mysticus was just starting the work, and I found the msiwindosx easier to deal with (Mysticus hadn't yet done all of the wonderful packages by then). But now I have too much loaded up on my nc10 for me to want to have to deal with the full reinstall (including other software, mail stuff, documents, etc.). However, I would love to do the upgrades to 10.5.6 with the additional goodies if possible.

Thanks - DJ Kwai

this is working much better than expected, i have a few questions

1) where can you find the headphone switching script?
2) how can we get scrolling to work for the trackpad?
3) any solutions for the internal mic yet?
4) any solution for time machine?

[ Mysticus C*]

internal mic + headphone solutions will come very soon with a full hda drivers...

scrolling has a temp solution but requires some manual editing

time machine works just fine if u have changed your wifi...

[The Thinker]

Mysticus you are great, thanks for all!!!

I have a question: Does the LAN 10/100 works?

I have an usb external dvd so do I need only to install the latest iso or also extra files/scripts to have a full working leopard on nc10?

Can you tell me what kind of iso do I need? (filename...)

Thanks in advance....

Hi Mate,

First of all i downloaded the v1.0 upgrade pack by mysticus c* from bike town link
and the 10.5.5 combo update from apple , then ran the v1.0 upgrade pack
and installed the pre-install update enabler only.

Then I ran the 10.5.5 combo update and do not restart afterwards.

Then I ran v1.0 upgrade pack again and chose the right options ie vanilla 9.50 kernel with shutdown
fix , chipset drivers , graphic driver , sound driver , ps2 fix1 , and post update fix dsmos fix only.

After this had installed i also did an apple software update , allowing it to update all software
EXCEPT the 10.5.6 update.

After this has been done hit the restart button on the apple 10.5.5 combo installer.
It then reboots a couple of times and your 10.5.5 is up and running.

Next download 10.5.6 combo update from apple and 10.5.6 update pack from mysticus c*
run 10.5.6 combo update and do not hit restart button at the end.

Then install mysticus c* 10.5.6 update pack from mysticus c* and once done you can
hit the restart button on the apple 10.5.6 combo installer.

This will reboot a couple of times and then you will have 10.5.6

Then all you need to do is download the trackpadfull patch and chud from biketown
Install these and also the enhanced brightness icons from biketown and follow the
instructions on about pages 105 or higher of mysticus c*'s nc10 v2 pdf manual
also on his biketown page listed on post number 1 of this thread.

After all this has been done make sure you do a disk permission repair
and you will have a fully working 10.5.6 upgraded install.

Mysticus,
my wifi card is on its way, but it doesnt work on a usb drive either.

i dont understand what you are trying to say really?

[tutti]

sorry if i wasnt clear enough. time machine is not working on wifi or on local usb drive. i ordered a dell 1390 card but shouldnt the usb backup work fine regardless of the wifi card?

if the network doesnt work (no working wifi or no lan) time machine does not work... it is nothing to do with usb... time machine is somehow connected to network frameworks... so no network (or patched network driver) = no timemachine

Time Machine appears to use the MAC address of the active network connection to uniquely identify its backups. No active network = broken time machine.

Great work by the way Mysticus, got an NC10 for Christmas and have your 10.5.6 running on it now. Will make a donation asap.

Hi, Thanks for the installation disc.
In return I'd like to contribute to this thread. I installed OSX via Ubuntu instead of Windows. Here's what I did.

First create 2 partitions with GParted (Gnome Partition Manager). One for OSX (20 GiB) and one for the DVD image. (5 GiB)

Next was following these instructions:
I found them here: http://forums.msiwind.net/mac/installing-f...inux-t6488.html

- Set ID of the partition to Darwin-Boot
sudo fdisk /dev/sda
repeat for both partitions:
options: t #PARTITIONNUMBER
Use id: AF
(Check this with option p)

- Format partitions:
sudo mkfs.hfsplus /dev/#PARTITIONNUMBER. you'll need to install the hfs packages of your distro beforehand.

- Copy ISO to DVD partition:
mount the installer iso as "installer" directory (sudo mount -t hfsplus -o loop installer.iso installer)
mount the installation partition (sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/partition install_partition)
sudo cp -a installer/* install_partition

- Edit GRUB to boot your ISO.
add boot_v9 to your grub menu (download http://www.mediafire.com/?rdonkiqyzlz , put in /boot, rename the file to boot_v9)
append this to /boot/grub/menu.lst:
title Mac OSX Leopard
kernel /boot/boot_v9
boot

- Reboot and press escape to enter the GRUB menu and select Mac OSX Leopard
When seeing the (2nd) timer press F8, select het ISO partition and enter at the prompt: rd=disk0s?, where ? is the number of your ISO partition.

The OSX installer shoudl now load correctly.

I hope I remembered all correctly, otherwise just ask around.

Good luck!

Mysticus I notcied sometimes when you do the FN +f6 mute sometimes it never unmutes its like the speaker driver drops... so then you have to restart to get sound back (i even went to sound options after the sound dropped) and picked speakers. its not a big deal I just know not to do fn +f6 it doesnt happen all the time but it hapens often enough to notice it.

i know what causes the issue (sort of) i may fix it, but i m not sure if i can do it nowadays... as i m kind of busy with family...

if voodoohda does not come out soon, i ll fix it by the end of the week probably...

camden: sure mate, enjoy...

tibod: thanx for linux way of install... i m sure some people may be interested in an alternative way... but not many people are too familiar with linux anyways enjoy....

Hey buddy don't worry you enjoy the fam...everything is good on my end. fix it when you have time.
perhaps though you can tell me how to hack a game civilization iv so that it doesnt require a certain rez otherwise it fails on startup...
pain in my ass.

i dont play games on osx machines mate, but i can only speculate... using additional monitor (only extended desktop)

connect additional monitor (dont mirror it, bcoz mirror is not working, only extended desktop to additional monitor...)
set your other monitor as primary...
at higher resolution, in the other monitor should let you start the game i suppose...
next thing to do is, change resolution to 800x600 (if it allows resolution change in game menus),
save and quit
change primary monitor back to built in lcd,
disconnect other monitor
start the game (i m just speculating that game allows resolution change)
game should start in 800x600 (which the internal monitor should support)
now you can change back to 1024x600 and save it...?

if resolution change and save in external monitor does not work, you can try the fake resolution method, but i dont remember where i read the method... it was a long time ago, dont remember which section it was in...

some people like G4-flo missed the remote-disc function
its very easy to enable it and use your PC's or MAC DVD Drive through your working wlan:
1. Open Terminal (it's in Utilities, or just type 'Terminal' into Spotlight)
2. Type this code:

CODE

defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool true
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser ODSSupported -bool true

I just installed a wifi card with the Broadcom 4311 chipset. It actually works fine (using it while typing this) but my network status shows the following:



As you can see, the wifi card names itself 'Bluetooth PAN' and doesn't show signal strength in the menu bar. After reboot/logout my settings are gone. Any clue? I read the last 20 pages again but couldn't find anything similar...

Other than this, the NC10 'MacBook nano' rocks!

can you try to remove the interface using + - buttons underneath the port name screen and reboot... to see wheter if it will get the same name or will fix it self?

it is really funny must be a glitch i guess..
