Thanks for the Audieee tip. Works great for me. Wifi still fails to remember and reconnect to my home wpa personal tkip network but typically turning off airport and back on solves it. Now the mic and lan are the only issues. Thanks everyone for the help.

fantastic.. got hold of jas_samsung_10.5.6 it was alot easier then the instructions in the guide.

just selected the samsung nc10 drivers option and then rest was straight forward. had to install the keyboard and bluetooth pakages to get working.. adjusting the screen brightness works followed the guide.

I am well chuafed..!! as battery giving me around 6 hours!!

Many thanks for hard efforts.. will be trying out the touch screen next.

Did you get the iso from alt.binaries.mac? just want to make sure it works ok!

I've installed everything according to install guide and it all seems to be working apart from one thing. I can't seem to get any sound (from internal speaker or headphone). Any ideas how I can fix this?


Have you gone to system preferences and selected the audio output?

Good news, everyone!

There now exists a version of Audieee which works with the NC10 - http://blog.stuart.shelton.me/downloads#Audieee-NC10.dmg !

(Many thanks to Jamie Curmi for integrating my changes to the output.sh script into Audieee)


thank you, it works great!

Can anyone help me out? Quicksilver hangs when I run the brightness triggers.
It freezes when i try to put brightness up and when i try to put it down it shows be the icon but still hangs and the icon never goes away.

I'm not sure what I should do, help?

Mysticus, you dont just rock - you roll too. Very cool stuff.
Same goes to all other contributors, but Mysticus gets the big thanks.

So, I've got my JaS 10.5.6 install up and running. No wifi, but have just ordered a new 1490 card.


I've got a couple of newbie questions...

1) I've read that you typically recommend a main partition, a data partition and a third partition for trying out new versions and patches of osx. I've currently installed onto a 16Gb USB card. So now I should clone this onto my hard disk. Will the clone process zap anything that's on the partition? So I definitely cant store data on the partition that I'm cloning to right?

If that's the case, I'll do some repartitioning - not a problem. However how do I get my data partition mounted so that all user files are stored on there? I've got some rusty unix/linux experience but osx is new to me. If I install apps, will they go on the data partition by default too?

2) Once I've got my 16Gb "system" partition, where's the clone tool? Sorry, it's bound to be hidden somewhere in this massive thread, but would take me ages to find it.

Many thanks, Imo.

I've read numerous recommendations about how to backup my entire drive now that I have my hackintosh all set up. What do you guys use? Rather than piecemeal backing up each partition and having to rebuild everything if I upgrade my hard drive or have a failure, I would like to have a drive image that would be easy to restore in total if ever needed. Thanks in advance.

I use Superduper (http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html) to clone my OSX partition to a USB hard drive. The nice thing about it is that you can boot on it if need be. It is also very easy to transfer back to the internal hard drive in case of crash. It is free for the basic backup feature. I also know of Carbon Copy Cloner that basically does the same thing than the free version of Superduper (I got Superduper pay version because I like the smart update feature).

I have super duper and I like it but it won't image the entire drive for a disaster recovery type situation. I would still have to repartition etc.

Am I doing something wrong then?? , cos I can't get Audiee to work in any meaningful way. It installs, I select headphones from the top menu, and then nothing....Sound still comes from the speakers.

If the "About" dialog doesn't say "Samsung NC10" then you're using the wrong version wink.gif

Download the version from my site, linked to above, and that should work for you... if not, please let me know.

Hi,

I tried various driver-packs and install methods.

Currently I am using the NC10_JaS_10.5.6 DVD

I installed from that DVD without additional modifications.

But one problem persists:

Sleep only works for the first time. If I wake up from sleep and put the system to sleep again, only the display goes off but harddrive keeps running. And there is no way to get the display on again.

After a reset, the first sleep I do works perfectly again.

My only solution to this is to use hibernate-only (via smart-sleep)

Thanks for you help.

I had to install http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=25638 (AzaliaAudio.pkg.zip) as well to get it to work.

I've replaced WiFi card in my Samsung NC10 with Broadcom 4311 card. It works fine with 10.5.6, but I've noticed that it is much less sensitive than the original card. Anybody has similar experience? Thanks.

hello guys, been busy lately, could not answer questions... i will be away by tomorrow for a week (going out of the country), so wont be around...

also thanx to stuart for the audio solution, some of you crying out loud smile.gif i know voodoo hda is not delivered and delayed a lot longer than expected as well... hopefully voodoo team bring it up online before i come back smile.gif

cheers everyone...

no prob MC,

Just wanted to direct your attention to another forum I started on games that will work on our netbook. Biggest problem i have is screen rez and the game sizing to fit right.

There is a PC forum, but the solutions and suggestions they have made don't really work on the mac side.

here is the link

Just a little word to say I just finished to install OSX on my NC10, and that rocks!!!

I replaced the Wifi card by a Dell 1390, and that's fine.
Concerning brightness control, maybe someone already mentioned that, but I prefer a freeware called Shades, and I control brightness with Ctrl+up or down. easier than the Quicksilver method, but you don't have progress bar.
Brightness in OSX seems to be much lower by default than in XP...

As I'm french, keyboard layout wasn't good, I just had to install the layout made for the MSI Wind, and that's just fine.

Now, I just hope for the internal Mic to work as soon as possible, then I will be able to get rid of XP on that Netbook...biggrin.gif

Thanks again Mysticus C* for that work. wink.gif

Beware with 'shades'... it isn't actually altering the value of the backlight, it's just changing the colour palette of the display I believe, so by lowering the brightness you won't actually prolong the battery life. The backlight is a big factor in how quickly your battery runs down - Backlight on full can easily knock a couple of hours off the battery life i think.

You are probably right, but for the time being, I don't really need 7 hours battery lasting...
I will have to try via quicksilver...
How come we are able to map sound keys and not brightness??

Can someone help me?
When i try to call a friend with skype, the program crash.
Maybe for the internal mic that not work.
I read that exist a solution for external mic but i've tryed it and the switch internal/hearphone does'nt work.
There is a solution that allow the external mic but don't lose the switch solution whit audiee?

The only solution I found (even if I didn't try it yet) would be to use a Bluetooth mic (the type used with mobile phones).

I believe you are correct: skype crashes because there is no mic in the system. you can do as someone else said and get a bluetooth mic, or you could also just get an external usb mic - that should work too.

Hi,

I installed everything according to the guide but I can not change the brightness. I installed CHUD but I get the message

"PCI Device - Host PCI bridge: pci8086,27ac (0:0:0:0)
Offset 0xf4 0x00 |0 0 0 0|0 0 0 0|"

and the brightness stays the same. Anyone got an Idea? Thx

hi to everyone!

I have a short question: has anybody used the programm coolbook ( http://www.coolbook.se/CoolBook.html )before on the nc10?

It should reduce the fan activity! And i would enjoy this a lot!

But iīm not shure if will work with this version of osx? I have read in an other forum, that it works with the msi wind, so maybe with the nc10 too!
If you only try the programm you arenīt able to change the settings, but it reads the wright frequency and temperature.

Before i spend 10 $ it would be awesome to get some experiences!

does not work for me.

You can do the same with voodoopower.kext from superhai but makes you system unstable. If you disable auto-mode and switch statically to 800Mhz it has no negative effect on system stability. But if you let voodoopower change the frequency according to system load, sound is choppy and sometimes a kernel panic occurs.

Actually I found that reducing the CPU speed, does not have a very big effect on temperature and power consumption, but its noticeable and measurable (with mini battery logger). I get 30 to 45 minutes more when clocked to 800MHz.

i have installed the kext from superhai which was modified from someone so there is no kernel panic anymore. I will see if it works! But can you describe me, how i can change the clockspeed with the kext manually?

Hey ppl,

Got installation problem.


I've got a USB optical drive, I started installation wid mysticus 10.5.6
Completed installation and restarted.
But bootloader screen wont load up!
Do I have to change the boot device priority?after mac installation?
I think page no 78 of installation guide is very confusing.


(I just made 2 Drives, 1 with winXP 2nd on which I installed OS X
boot settings matched like,Is that a problem)

Can anyone please guide me a bit on Optical Drive setup process?? unsure.gif

where you got that kext from ? (I'd lke to try it)

I select a specific frequency by disabling the "Auto" mode at the right time.

In auto it constantly changes from 800Mhz to 1600Mhz and back, if you go to manual mode in a moment when it is at 800, it will stay at 800. The Tool is here: http://www.superhai.com/files/leopard/rele...PUPMControl.zip

With a small patch this should be possible via Info.plist of the voodoopower.kext too.

Have you tried starting up with F8 pressed down?

Does it just boot up xp or leave you with a message and not boot at all?

Did you also select the custom install method when installing?
anfan7
yes, I clicked custom
and checked nc10 package

All setup process went fine

But at the end when it tells you to restart,
After restart the SAME boot option before installation
{I mean the DVD ) appears

No luck with F8
some process starts and in tfinally the OS X installation begins

AGAIN{I did it 4 times till now}

Did you try to remove the DVD from the external DVD reader after OSX installation?
After installation, if I remember correctly, the computer restarts and should then boot from the HD and complete the setup process...
I did also the installation using an external DVD reader (successfully) .... I had some minor troubles... unfortunately I don't remember exactly how I solved them.

I believe he is talking about disabling Tstate in the kext's Info.plist.

I’m trying this right now and it does seem to work. No more kernel panics so far.

The issue with sleep not working with the voodoopower.kext remains though. My NC10 still immediately wakes up right after going to sleep… I don't have this issue with the standard powermanagment kext.

Here are the relevant log entries – note that I have no external USB devices attached.

And till now it is working very good, although the fan activty is nearly the same!

I have been using coolbook.Actually i did undervolting with this 1596 MHZ runs stable with 1.0125 volts(default is 1.2),as determined by cpu test package from coolbook website.This resulted in slightly prolonged battery life and lower cpu temp(39 c) im in ireland.Fan sound also reduced.

once the installer has completed, you just need to reboot with the dvd drive disconnected otherwise it will boot off that again. You are rebooting with the dvd drive disconnected are you? and if so what screen shows?

Hi!

I want to reduce the noise of my NC10. Iīm already using the superhai kext to use Speedstep which i have manuelly set to 800Mhz! But the fan is still annoying from time to time!

I want to have the "silent mode" as in Windows!

Is it possible to undervolt oder reduce the speed/clock of the Graphicadapter? In Ubuntu (with an other Laptop) you were able to switch between several speedmodes using the terminal! Maybe in OSX itīs the same?

Sorry for my bad english!

Did you hit F4 at the BIOS screen to enter Samsung Recovery? You do not need to actually run any of the functions -- simply entering the console is enough to repair the partition flags.

i need your help guys!

Iīve been using osx for 2 month now and all "is" working great! But today i wanted to go into the bios but i accidently typed f4 and got into the recovery. I escaped from it, but it had already written a new mbr. Since then my nc10 automatically boot xp without osx option! And i canīt activate or something else in the diskmanagement in xp, as described in the guide!

Maybe someone of, who boot with the xp bootmanager can tell me his entries in the boot.ini?

Or can someone tell me how to get osx bootloader back?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HELP!

INSTALL acronis OS SELECTOR it will give you both xp and osx option before boot.Or if you have a bootable usb acronis diskdirector suite stick u can boot into it and set osx partition as active, then darwin loder will load by default

I think my Darwin Loader is not working anymore after modifying the Boot.plist. It just brings me to a black page and then back to Win 7 bootloader.

I installed OSX with the modified iso and triple boot (XP 7 and OSX) with instructions given here.

Is there anyway I can get my darwin loader back or boot into OSX without it? Thanks.

Edit: My fault, just realised i missed out a end slash for dict. Boot from USB DVD into my OSX to bypass faulty Darwin Loader. Everything is back to normal now.

Google "Chain0" which will lead you to methods of starting in the XP bootloader and then bouncing to the Darwin version. Basically it is the reverse of the way you were doing things.

ok now i have nearly crashed my netbook...

yesterday i have "installed" chain0 in xp and edited the boot.ini so the osx is default. Ok the problem after that was, that the darwin boot loader preselected the windows partition to boot, so the xp bootloader appears and then darwin ... a loop wink.gif till i manually select OSX1.

Because this is anoying i looked for a way to change the default boot partition in darwin. At this time i edited in the com.Boot.apple.plist, as described on the darwin homepage, the selection "Kernel Flags" with rd=... . But now OSX is not booting anymore... So i want to remove my changes in the plist. But with the OSX-Bootcd there is no "nano" oder "vi" even no "sudo" in the terminal. And with my Linux Live-CD i can only read not write on the OSX-partition, although using sudo. There was one strange thing with the terminal in the osx boot cd, it was called bash not terminal, i donīt know but i remember that there is difference between them...

Can somebody help me and tell me how to edit the .plist outside osx??


ok downloaderz helped me to get into my installed osx via the live-cd! THANKS A LOT

Do somebody knows how to change the default osx correctly? I tried rd=disk0s3, but darwin still prefer windows...

thankyou very much for this distribution, and the advice given in this thread - which has helped me to get audio working with audieee and made the trackpad usuably sensitive.

i feel i must mention something - even if i installed the UK keyboard layout package (twice actually), the keyboard layout still isn't the UK layout:

shift+2 = @ and not " as it should be, and some other errors in the mapping i assume due to the nationality.

its a minor thing, given the amount of work this must have been, but considering you made the trouble to make a special uk keyboard package, i thought i should say it doesn't seem to be working on my system.

thanks again, great work!


edit: actually, it is the uk layout partially, since i can access Ģ with shift+3, though some keys not right
edit2: i needed to enable the uk layout, rather than the british layout in the international menu!! smile.gif

now the layout is almost correct - still the \| key is swapped with the backward facing quote, hardly an issue
