apply the ppf again, most likely your ppf download damaged on the way

redownload the ppf, apply it to jas and check again...

make sure you have extra copy of jas somewhere, else you ll loose your original copy again if stg goes haywire?

NOTE: when i say ppf md5, i mean jas dvd that is applied with ppf.. jas+ppf=nc10 iso right? check the final iso not the ppf file itself...
ppf file's md5 should be 2B1BA393984FB5C12BD4DA671226C069 in case u wanna check it as well, before you apply it...

Ok downlading as we speak the file i download from rapidshare is NC10_PPF.zip thats right?

i then extract it to wherever and use NC10_JAS.ppf and do that?
Hopefully thats right

+ extract the ppf file from the zip,
+ check the md5 of the ppf file as i ve given th ppf's md5 above, so you confirm that you have the correct ppf,
+ apply the ppf to jas iso (you confirmed to right md5 on original jas right?)
+ check the md5 of the ppf applied iso and confirm it matches the md5!

if everything goes smooth, your iso should work...

That the ppf MD5 2B1BA393984FB5C12BD4DA671226C069


But still my Jas+NC10 ppf md5 is different..Any chance you can link me to ppf -o- matic?
Just incase i got the wrong thing
And thanks again

your original jas iso has md5: F7E82424D6EFB474950B361DB7840C91
nc10 ppf file: 2B1BA393984FB5C12BD4DA671226C069
===========================================
nc10 ppf applied iso: FD8FA6AF80F921E45CB9E21A81557780?

if so use the ppf-o-matic comes with the zip, and apply it... if ppf file is correct so the ppf-o-matic should be as well...

my nc10 ppf applied iso:7670C36A3967EF0974C03C4723669DE5
I just don't get it...

Didn't notice the ppf-o-matic app is the downloaded file,using that one now

Well, my german release of the nc10 doesn't have BT. But the issue with the webcam is strange, because if I'm working in windows, the area behind the cam has the same temperature the the rest of the lid, only in leopard it's much warmer than the rest, what tells me, that it is working even if for eg Photobooth is not active. Maybe there will be a way to deactiviate.

Also my nc10 doesn't sleep if it's on battery. If I close the lid, the screen turns off but HDD and Fan is still working. Sleep just works manually by using func+esc, power-button or menu.

Today I've installed leopard completely new, hoping not to have the "welcome-loop" again. But it ended there again. I had to boot into single user mode and doing the following:

/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
passwd root

That works well, but with that way you are creating a user account for the root. Well, I don't know if this is good or bad, but it was the only way entering the system.

It seems to me that the issue with the damn "welcome loop" only comes when you're installing from a hdd partition with ddmac - thats what i read here in the forum. Unfortunately I can't find it out if it works better by installing from DVD as I don't have an external drive.

Hello again
I've successfully installed osx 1.0.5.5 on my NC10.
On my macbook pro I followed this steps:
1) got JaS.OSx86.10.5.4.Client.Server.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.iso
2) got MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.5.pkg
3) got DVDupgrade.mpkg
4) moved 1 and 2 in the root and then launched 3 choosing custom installation.
5) from 4 I had Samsung-NC10-10.5.5.iso
6) burned 5 on a DVD

Then on my samsung NC10:
1) I followed the steps described in the guide "prep.pdf" (got from the NOOB_FRIENDLY GUIDE section of the first page of this thread)
2) In the guide there is no mention to the partition where to install the osx (I choose OSX1).
3) I noticed that some screenshots are different (page 76 to 81)
4) I succesfully see osx running on my netbook

Now the questions:
1) Can I delete OSX2 and OSX3 partition? Both are empty.
2) I followed the right steps?
3) Sound and Bluetooth works well. The Ethernet Card and Wifi are not recognized. How can I see if the also the VGA, battery and other features are correctly recognized and configured?

Thanks.

Still no luck,I'm going to try once more but then i don't know what to do...

rt91: i included everything in the zip that is necessary, you should have checked it again for the ppf-o-matic...

g4-flo: i did hdd install and didnt have any trouble with any loop.. did it 10times at least during my tests, and in none of them i had the loop, as i see it happening only in german versions makes me think it may have something to do with the mobo revision? or something else, dunno whatever it is, it is happening only on german versions mate, sorry dont really know what is causing it...

lupin3d:

1) i suggest you to keep osx2 for back up purposes, u can delete osx3 if u like, but i suggest creating a 4.5 gb fat32 partition additionaly in extended area, and u can later use it for ddmac iso, with which u will not need usb dvdroms anymore...

2) perfectly correct mate, well done also you were able to install proves that it was done correctly...

3) battery meter will need to be enabled from system preferences, energy savings/options/show battery... for to see wat is working what is not, u can use system profiler app in applications or use about this mac /show more info which runs the same profiler...

ah you allready have a macbook lucky

are you sure you check everything correctly? all three (jas original, ppf file, ppf applied jas iso) md5? and are you using windows ppf-o-matic application?

Wahey,did this process on my NC10 and it worked first time...Was i meant too do it on the NC10,or would any pc do the job?

any pc should do it, however i dont understand what you mean in your sentence?

it worked because you did it on your nc10?

there is a possibility that your other computer may have bad ram or cpu problems? corrupting the files? which is unlikely... but possible...

but theoratically any pc should do it...

Ok what i meant is,i was thinking maybe we had to do the whole process on our NC10,
but i was obviously wrong
Thanks anyway..Will post back when done..Burning dvd now

Wow, Mysticus C*! I have to say that you've done a really great job! I've followed your PDF-guide, and it worked perfectly.
Though i had some problems with the BIOS-settings. Maybe you should make it even more clear how the settings should be.

Anyway, here is a question that I hope anybody could answer:
Is it possible to do program updates via the built in Software Updater in the System Preference-panel? I've read somewhere that it shouldn't be any problems as long as you don't install anything which requires a reboot. Is that true?


I can also mention that I manage to turn the bluetooth off somehow. I was playing with the Bluetooth-settings and where trying to activate the PAN-service. (This was before I had received a Airport Extreme-card.)
Since then I've reinstalled the system, so I don't have it inactivated at the moment. I can't tell you how I did it, but once it was off, I never managed to turn it on again.

rt91: good luck mate...

swe-gargamel: you can do normal updates like security update safari quicktime etc update and they may require restart but you will not have any trouble, but major system updates like in past time machine upgrade was a bricker (well not exactly) due to the fact it was installing applecpupowermanagment/kernel/smbios ?? now we have a disabler driver so we dont worry about cpupm, and we are already using vanilla kernel so that is no touble either, but, if system runs dsmos kext's original one than it creates the trouble, but appledecrypt should overcome that trouble so you should not have trouble... usually this kind of bricker updates are always mentioned in the frontpage of IM, so check IM before you do it... after 10.5.5 installation, you will see many updates in software updater, i did all of them, and nothing happened... if you wanna make sure yourself, you can use the OSX2 partitition i mentioned in the guide for creating, to clone your osx1 main partition, and boot the osx2, do the update there, and see the results, if works? do it on your main... (clone is done with disk utility/restore function... very easy... it makes a live copy of the partition you are cloning, except the bootloader, but you dont need 2 bootloader anyway one bootloader will boot as many partitions as long as they are correctly cloned...)

i have no idea about what have you done with the bluetooth, but if u put it off, there would be a way to turn it on...

hello !!



Thanks Mysticus C*  !! I succeed to install leo on my nc10 ^^   (sorry for my english , i'm french)

little problem : I can't have leo all in french.

I made the installation with french (keyboard too) and after i put french all above (in international) 

menu in the bar of the top are in english , menu when i clic apple are in french ...



something wrong ? should I download a french package ??



thanks again for your great work !!

Well just reporting back install worked,followed all from the pdf BUT(always a but)i installed server by accident,and couldn't get any further when i logged back in the the serial key was asked for

Now reinstalling

I'm trying to do something which falls outside the scope of the 'supported' guide, so I wont mind if you don't want to help

I don't have an external DVD drive, so I'm trying to do this install from my 8GB USB stick. I have Ubuntu and WinXP installed already, and I'd like to add OS X.

So far, using parted on Ubuntu I have managed to format the USB stick as an HFS+ volume, set the boot flag on it, and am now copying all the files from the mounted JaS ISO to the stick.

I'm afraid that by doing it this way I will be missing the first partition on the ISO with some necessary boot files - while experimenting with dd earlier i saw a MACOSXBOOT partition or something like that. Is this right? If so, can anyone start me off in the right direction?

All of the tutorials I've read so far require an existing OS X install with which to write the ISO to the USB stick. I don't have access to an existing install, either

Thanks much

This is now quiet annoying,I folloe the install guide while updating to 10.5.5 the NC10 driver psck in the prep.pdf is totally different too the one i used which confused me..So i tried to do the same and installed and closed it.Opened 10.5.5 and installed said it needed to restart i minimized it and opened the driver package then a pop up comes up simular to what i got earlier (the grey one telling me to hold down power button and restart,the mouse and keyboard locked up and i didn't get to start the installation of the final drivers..
What do i do now?

Have you since restarted?
If so, what happens after the restart?

dust mason:

(1) get this file and format your flash disk as fat32!
(2) download the jas,
(3) check md5,
(4) download the ppf,
(5) apply the ppf,
(6) check md5 correct?
(7) copy the iso to to somewhere on your netbook
(8) use the (1) dd --ddmac-- as instructed here
(9) once done, you will have what you asked for...

rt91: you are a bit hyper? why are you rushing... just do the steps one at a time...

while everything installed, u should have used the dvd upgrader... as i explained in the post #385! and reinstall everything, again... forget updating to 10.5.5

mujol: did you try to change language from the system preferences menu?

mr_cp: have u tried the upgrade dvd package?

Not yet my friend, been busy at uni and work, should get a chance this week, will use it on a test partition that way it all stays safe. Don't see why it won't work thou

the reason i asked u is for other friends may want u to install as well so u dont need to install 10.5.4 and update while ucan have 10.5.5 OTB

Fixed!
Thanks
I booted into -s
Loaded drivers,rebooted and it worked ok,

But how do i set up the dual boot option as i have to press F8 to choose osx or widows just boots


Also whats the cheapest 54mbs mini pcie card that will work in the nc10?

Or can i just get a list of a few

for dual booting, since windows is the active partition, it will always boot windows if u dont press f8 to choose osx... if you wanna make osx default, you need to activate the osx partition, but make sure osx partition is in the primary, and not in extended and not after an extended partition...

what i mean is in the partitition table...

osx has to be in primary and not after an extended partition

1 primary windows
2 primary windows
3 ext--(sub extended ones)
4 primary osx
will not boot...

it has to be stg like
1 primary windows
2 primary windows
3 primary osx
4 extended ...

will work...

I just finished creating Samsung-NC10-10.5.5.iso. I will try to reinstall the whole OSX again, this time I will make the OSX partition 30GB because 20GB is just not enough for me

Oh, how do I uninstall the old OSX1? Can I just delete the whole partition using Window's Disk Manager?

Yeh, they are being picky lol, they tested out my MacBook and the NC10 osx and can't decide between the two, I told them the NC10 is pretty perfect for everyday use. but alas being picky, plus the price of the NC10 has gone up recently someplaces to £329

Time spent waiting for the lenovo s10 to get delivered : 72 days
Time spent mucking with msiwindosx6/boot132/iAtkos and still
could not get the s10 to sleep/wake : 4 days
Time it took get really p-off with the stupid keyboard layout : 5 mins

Able to get nc10 set up with to 10.5.5 in 1.5 hours flat : priceless.

Mysticus,

What else can I say but great job! Small donation sent your way.

Nit: I'd suggest highlighting the checking of the EBD bit in slide 55.
The problem with that page is that two things were highlighted, which
only serves to distract from the one thing that really needs fixing.
(A third of that 1.5 hours was spent figuring out that I overlooked
this bios setting :-) )

By the way, I er kinda accidentally installed the server edition. The
server delta updater (different from client) installs fine, but KP at the
end, thus forcing me to reboot. Thereafter I was able to apply the NC10 1.10
installer fine. Was there any reason why you believe it was necesary to
apply the 1.10 installer before restarting the machine right after the
delta update?

-lamder

Mysticus C* I went in system preferences / international / language (french is all above and under is english) and in same windwos french is selected in "order for sorted lists" (btw nothing is written in french , so i've a problem)
in the windows "formats" i've selected french too

Should I download something else ?? thanks for your help

So How is the preformance with a atom Processor ?

darkgemini: when u see installation screen, after the first continue button, u ll see a menu on top left, go to tools/diskutility... remember in the pdf guide erasing? same thing... just just osx1 and in the erase menu click eraase only... no change need to be done...
=============================================
mr_cp: supply and demand drives the prices
=============================================
lamder: u need the install nc10 package after the update is because of drivers! most drivers gets updated and some of the patched ones becomes obsolete! so you need to replace them with patched ones again, but most importantly, there is one script in the update package for restarting the machine and installing additional stuffs tht are not installed during the normal install... and a program to run which makes the install non working anymore...
nc10 package replaces the non patched drivers that are necessary to regain the functions of vga, keyb/mouse, battery manager (which i found another solution now...) and fix the script that ruuns in next restart... so you have proparly functioning osx... you additionally read post #423 for easier install method... but before that, i suggest reading 385 for upgrading the dvd to 10.5.5...

once you have done dvd upgrade on your current install (read post#385) you can alternatively install (ddmac-read post#423) nc10 iso to one of your hdd partitions... (creating a 4.4gb partition will be enough) and ur install will not take more than 30 mins
=============================================
mujol: i dont check the language packages mate, if it was removed originally i cant really be any help mate sorry, but i can check other dvds to find the language package and maybe help u integrate it to an additional dvd, maybe next upgrade dvd... because there is plent of space i made in the dvd 939 mb free space is kind of enough for most things
=============================================
nick14: it is not mind blowing performance but enough for day to day tasks... it is obviously more than just a netbook... i can watch tv with my usb stick tv card, and no problem at all in windows and osx... works perfectly fine... for most tasks... it runs iphoto fine.... didnt test too many programs, but for obvious reasons it will not replace a new macbook model, but can be compared to older macbooks... thought of course macbook will perform better but still...

also consider the advantages /disadvantages as well... so you dont complain later that lan/wifi not working etc...

Hi Mysticus,
I when through your original install method with 10.5.4 when it first came out and upgraded to 10.5.5 soon after with the v1.0 installer, and this all went fine.

This all works OK (with known limitations) and I've installed other apps (ilife, office etc) and use it every day.

Will there be a way in future of taking advantage of your new developments (drivers, fixes, 10.5.6 etc) without having to reinstall the whole system?

Keep up the great work!

FYI
the Alfa AWUS036H USB Wireless Adapter works very well. The driver can be downloaded here > ftp://66.104.77.130/cn/wlan/87_Mac10.4_v1309.zip

OK so far. Maybe thats right. An other idea why this loop is happening is maybe because my atheros card is still installed. The last time when I was trying to get out of the welcome-loop i booted the system in -v, -s and -x without success, but in the command lines i've seen that leopard tried to load the AtherosAirport-Driver but also without success because of the diferent chipsets to the original Atheros used in newer macs. Other users found out, that the welcome loop affects because osx wants to initialise the airport oder lan-card and maybe that's the reason why it ends up in a never-ending welcome-loop. But that's just a theory.

Is it correct that my NC10 is detected in the system profiler as a MacBook Air?

I just can say that Leopard is running fine and incredible fast now, but there are sume minor bugs:

- Opening console the following message is about 1000times: CFGethHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35
- Powermanagement is horrible ;-) The battery needs to be loaded extremely often
- In my case, sleep mode after closing the screen doesn't work (battery-mode). Maybe thats because of the issue with the UUID...
- The always-active webcam ;-) - What about simply deleting the driver? Would that work?

Are there any ideas how to get the following work?:
- powermanagement (reducing brightness, cpu-speed etc on battery-mode)
- LAN (but not so important)
- Mic

It also seems to me, that the wrong driver for the gma950 is active. System profiler shows up that the gma950 hat 64MB of shared memory, but as known from the manufacturer this should be 128MB.

This happens on proper Mac hardware too I believe. A Mac Mini only has the 64MB memory available to it under OS X, but if you boot camp Windows, the full 128MB is there.

Mysticus, is there anyway to cut down the size of the samsung-nc10-10.5.5.iso? maybe leave out the server option or something? Because it's difficult to move the file between Window and Mac:
1. Mac can't write to NTFS
2. Can't move the file larger than 4GB to FAT32

1- No?!?!?!? http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/

i bought paragon ntfs for mac

rudog: i will be doing it for 10.5.6 an on as well... no worry...

lupin3d: get a dell 1490 or 1500 series, they work with built in drivers... no worries anymore...

g4-flo: it is because of the smbioefi driver, it is just modified stuff... u know it is not detected as mac book air originally

CFGethHostUUIDString error is fixable, and i m working on it and will make a small package to fix it when done and let another power management driver, to use vanilla pm bundle, but understand that it doesnt make it available to use brightness etc settings...

cpu clock management requires speedstep, which i dont wanna involve... vanilla is fine at the moment...

darkgemini: the current 10.5.5 dvd if you made it, has 980 mb of free space i think, i can remove the space and make the dvd 1gb less, but i dont know if it s wise at the moment, for future packages/add-ons...

(4gb-1byte) file size is the limit for fat32 because of addressing issues... anything above that will not copy to the file system... it is file system limitation...

hi all, sorry but im a newb and need to install osx directly from hd as i have no usb dvd drive. is there a guide on installing osx from a hd?

thanks for your help

MC:

Awesome work with this set of releases and patches. To have done it in so little time is one hell of an accomplishment.

One question, however. Do you have a solid way to enable and disable the headphone port? I had an MSI Wind for a few weeks and went through the various audio switching methods and eventual menu switch applet. Do any of these methods work for the NC10?

fattony: read post#423

cmascatello: well mate, i have tried the script and those apps, but in a rush i didnt throughly test them all... script method works fine i first tested it and working fine.... than was testing those other apps, but in a rush while doing packages etc and dvd patch i didnt have time to finger with them but will test again to see...

g4-flo: i figured out a solution for the cfget errors... i think it works at the moment no cfgethosuuid errors for 2 hr... it should have been started immidiately normally will post some installer to test (will need people to test these so no complain, if it does not work, since it will be test... )

TO ALL OTHES: If you consider a small donation, it will help me start with the touchscreen kit install and guides for it afterwards... Like i always say, donations are not necessary but good way to appreciate time/efforts put into all those things, for the touchscreen kit project... it will ease the risks a little on my shoulder if i ve enough donations to support it... a thanx is also sufficent if you cant donate...

cheers...

WANNA HAVE! ;-)

thanks for the help MC but i think ill wait for the proper guide.

Ordered a dell 1390
As the 1490 postage was an extra £4 so i didn't think it was worth it when i get it i'll be a full mac converty!
Only what an I.M program,flickr uploadr,and internet browsing

Anyone know any good I.M programs for mac?

Small doubt...slightly offtopic.Will updating the BIOS interfere with OSX installation on samsung NC10?thank you.

cant say for sure, but in past, it had effects on some systems, some doesnt get any difference... only u can volunteer to test it..
