just remove those two parts using terminal

<key>VendorID</key>
<strig>code</string>

how to do it?

open terminal
sudo su
enter password

nano /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Trackpad.prefPane/Contents/Info.plist

use only arrow keys to scroll down to above key and string area

and delete them both... using del key

after that
ctrl+O (letter O and not number 0)
enter
ctrl+X
reboot
...

MR_CP can you provide me information regarding which iso (file name) did you use to upgrade and etc.. also can you provide me the install log on the error, because install log provides the information? because i may have forgotten something inside the dvd upgrade process which causes the error (i think i know but need to check it) sorry if it caused problem

I used the original untouched jas 10.5.4 iso, used the combo update from apple, i'll just reboot and get the error again to get the install log

hi guys,

merry christmas to all,

well I've read the thread for a while back however, i have a few questions.
like-

1) does anybody elses samsung nc10 create a 71gb xp partition because in the guide of Myst.. his is only 70gb?
if so is there a way i can safely repartition my hd to only 70gb and "chop off" that 1 gig?
on the partition topic.

second question is whether anyone has a premium rapidshare account i could borrow to download the 10.5.6 ppf for my jas 10.5.4 or could anyone send/host their 10.5.6 ppf somewhere free please.

@Mysticus C*
I did exactly what you said but don´t see trackpad in System pref.
Macbe you could upload your Trackpad.prefPane.
I have installed 10.5.6.
Do you have any idea about the monitor problem? (Post on page before)

// Trackpad in Sys Pref works now after 2 reboots thanks.
But is it possible to get Trackpad scrolling working??

Mysticus C I've a problem for the touchpad :

I did As you said but I can't find the line :
<string>code</string>

I delete the line
<key>VendorID</key>

but below I has :
<integer>1452</integer>


what should I do ?


thanks

Delete that line. The "code" is a generic way for Mysticus to ID the following line. However, I am not able to get this to work on my US NC10. I'd love to be able to tweak the sensitivity of the on-board pad for those times I do not have a mouse.

Hi all,

and thx very much Mr. Mysticus for all your work and dedication towards this project! I recently got the nc10 and am currently running 10.5.4 from the msi....iso (only osx on only one osx partition, no windows). Everything works fine except the usb ports (devices will only mount if they were present during boot up). Also I think, with this solution I won't be able to update to 10.5.5 or 10.5.6...

So.. my question is if it is ok to do the following:

recover the jas10.5.6 iso (which I just finished downloading) to a usb-stick,
use osx86tools to make the stick bootable (Add EFI Strings/Boot Flag),
install from jas iso to only one osx-partition (without doing all the formatting to get n drives because I won't be running windows on the thing and also, I'm not running windows at the time so doing the formatting stuff might get kind of tricky)

I will stick to your guide except for the parts mentioned above (usb-install, one partition)

also.. could (will) there be problems because I've been using the msiwind-iso the first time? (I simply didn't know about this postings so I tried the first thing that came to my hands... and as I said, everything is running fine except the usb ports)

I know that's quite a bit to ask but maybe you're able to look into it. And maybe (hoping) it'll work just fine this way =)

Cheers,
iXXn

You have to do exactly what Mysticus C* said.
Delete the lines:
<key>VendorID</key>
<integer>1452</integer>

save and do 1 oder two reboots.
that worked for me

I did those steps exactly and do not get the Trackpad PrefPane. When I try to force launch it from the System/Library/PreferencePanes directory I get a message in Sys Prefs telling me that I need to attach a device to make the option available to me (my wording, not OSX's). I'm more than a little puzzled. Can you send me your PrefPane so I can test it?

Ofcourse I just started the upload. Will need a few minutes.

thanks ,

the touchpad works now

Here the FIle:

i m making an installer for people who are less comfortable in terminal...

gimme couple of mins...

whenever you edit something like that. rebooting twice may work, but your best best is repairing permissions on the disk. That usually fixes it.

Click to view attachment
not sure if you can see the picture but I added a lil somethin-somethin....

In this day and age its all about energy efficiency

energy efficient light bulbs are needed for every home nowadays...

here is the trackpad enabler installer...

after install, please restart... make sure that trackpad preferences no more inside keyboard mouse, rather separate menu

file is also in samsung nc10 files section in bike town...

hey iXXn, I have a solution for you. I'm also running msiwindosx86 on my nc10 but I found a fix on this forum for USB ports.

Download usb_fix 1.3 by LioNEXT
http://rapidshare.com/files/115617132/usb_fix_1.3.mpkg.zip

Run usb_fix_1.3.mpkg file
Select CUSTOMIZE button
Select TOH Sleep 9.2 kernel + system.kext
Reboot. your USB ports should be recognized.

@Mysticus
Is it okay to use your NC10_10.5.6_Install_Package on msiwindosx86 distro? I don't want to redownload your distro since msiwindosx work otb for me (usb_fix + wifi is dell 1490, and I dont need headphone for now).

What are some consequences if I do an 10.5.6 update?

Wouldn't it be a good idea to make your next ppf based on msiwindosx? (not sure what windosx based on)
I have tried iAtkos, kaylaway, Jas. They all come with a long list of things to choose on setup. One mis tick will cost several more hours to get to the right setting. So far, msiwindosx simplified the installation process to bare minimum. Boot, create partition, default setting, install.

yes you can use it as well, but i dont know how many additional files msiwindos uses at the moment so you understand that...

also usb fix is not by lionext, it is made by me i made it for his topic... long ago... if you read it carefully you will see

ohh sorry about that, apparently i skipped the whole reading and went straight to the file. Thanks for the fix.

I guess I'll stay away from 10.5.6 for now since everything works great at this moment. Maybe I'll get your distro after the break (school's internet is blazing fast).

You should take a look at msiwindosx, it certainly is the easiest method to put osx on netbook for newbies.
http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/12/samsung-hc-10-h.html
(also work using ddmac method)

there is nothing harder on the nc10 osx version here either everytg pretty much same except the bootloader types...

if u follow the guide carefully, this doesnt involve any usb drive etc either... everything done within same nc10...

Mysticus. I had a question lots of apple apps have window sizes that go beyond the boundaries of our desktop. for instance when picking spaces preferences, or in iwork certain buttons cant be reached when selecting a template. Anything that can be done bout that you think, or do I have to muddle through it best I can. Probably the later cause it must be built into the OS

@nam265:

I did exactly what you said, but now osx won't boot anymore, I get stuck at the startup volume selection screen, it still says "hd(0,1) OSX" but hitting enter won't do a thing. Also typing -v does nothing, just makes the screen flash for a split-second??

which brings me back to my main question...

@Mysticus C*:

will I be able to install the jas-iso (the 10.5.6 torrent on BIKE TOWN) from a usb stick (made bootable with osx86tools)
onto one osx-journaled formatted partition?
I read something about 123boot wich comes with the msi-distro and I'm not quite sure if using the jas-distro would eliminate this 123boot-thing?!

Any help would be greatly apreciated!

Cheers,
iXXn

iXXn: you can do it as well, but i suggest you to do ddmac method, it is easier and faster... however it is definitely possible to do it from usb as well...

boot-132 method is safer for updates but since you have certain disabler drivers and decrypt drivers updates should not be a problem either, but going the boot-132 way will put more trouble on my shoulders to support both non efi folder users and efi folder users and nc10 and non nc10 etc... also considering many noobs around, i will need to deal additional installers... so if you want it that way, you are on your own, you will probably learn a lot along the way as well... so choice is up to you...

adam: problem is within apple's window resizing way... there is a temp fake resolution solution... from terminal... i dont remember it now, but i ll check again... know that terminal method has some downsides, with program behaviors... funny menus/text etc..

The thing is.. I haven't got windows on the nc10, so this whole formatting part I won't be able to do unless I open the netbook again, take out the harddrive and so on. I would love to do the complete guide just like you wrote it ..

I'm going to try anyways and tell you how it went later.

Cheers,
iXXn

lol

dont worry, just skip the formating from windows

when you do usb boot process... after you boot into installer,

go to disk-utility, choose your hdd and go to partition menu

Volume Scheme: 3 partitions or whatever you like

if chosen 3, do 50-50-rest (just make partitioning to your needs)
name them as

OSX1 - OSX2 - Data
Main - Time-machine/Backup - downloads etc

Journaled - Journaled - Journaled

option: MBR

and apply.... you are ready to proceed to installation...

cheers...

Ok Mysticus, just running thru basic operations (wish I can submit you bug reports some other way) When pairing my phone with bluetooth it craps out... i get thru the password part then its at mobile phone setup select services you want to use with mobile phone and the bluetooth icon is off suggesting its no longer on, when going to bluetooth prefs I cant turn it back on, requires a restart.

So I restarted thinking the phone was registered the bluetooth needs to be reset as it were. well with paired item bluetooth refuses to start up....very strange.



Ok narrowed it down...it was the bluetooth assitant that was the culprit...maybe it was looking for something apple harware ish...but just doing the normal browse add works fine to commect to my other computers and phone...

i m sorry mate i never tried bluetooth pairing on the nc10 will check it out later, but never needed to do bluetooth pairing before either, bcoz bluetooth is very slow, so i always use memory card readers etc...

Note: I tried the bluetooth pairing and it works, it allows internet access, and allows file browsing as i tested just fine! so no issue here... i even transfered some pics...

iXXn, sorry if that messed up your boot process. try boot with -f.

I didn't get that booting problem at all. Did you click Customize -> TOH 9.2 kernel + System files (not just TOH 9.2.0?

yeah its just the setup assistant no big deal... By the way there is a way to edit an application to be active and not be visible in the dock. I would like to do that with quicksilver I hate a cluttered dock

Guys,I need help!I make the primary partition of 35 gb,but then how much space do I have to make the logical space extended partition?in the guide there is no dimesion...can someone please help me?

hey nam265,

nothing to be sorry about I just finished the jas-mysticus install.. everything works fine now

I think, if you're just using OSX on your nc10 this is probably a very fast way to get it up and running..

convert jas-iso to jas-dmg with toast
recover dmg to usb-stick in disk utility
make the stick bootable with osx86tools ("Install EFI/Run FDISK" then option 4 for chameleon efi)
boot the stick & install

of course you won't have the benefits from dd-bootloader and maybe you'll run into more problems later, when updating the os itself, (like 10.5.6 to 10.5.7) but i think updates to applications should work just fine

iXXn

carlito: make the extended partition, do not delete the number comes up first time, just make the full size (what ever comes up as number there) for it,

in the next slides, you will create the logical ones... there, you will define one 35000 for the timemachine/backup and one what ever left again for the ddmac (it will be about ~4700 left so no worries)

Mysticus C*

just want to say again your amazing 10.5.6 working great now fully on the laptop much better then windows !

your allowing people who can not afford an apple mac the chance to experince something amazing with the mac os !

thanks again

EnlightX

enjoy mate

Just following an earlier post to say thanks Mysticus. Tried adding upgrade to original ISO and couldn't get it to work, but downloaded the combined ISO you released yesterday and Wow. Installed easily. This machine is amazing for OSX, easily beating my old 12" powerbook

I have a problem with the trackpad update package... an icon has appeared in the preferences pane, but it isn't the correct one (it's the system settings 'cogs' icon) and when clicked it reads:

'Preferences Error You cannot open trackpad preferences because it doesn't work on an intel-based mac'

Any ideas? I'd tried the Terminal approach earlier but couldn't get that to work either

Thanks again for your amazing contributions

hey iXXn, i used that method too to put msiwindosx on my nc10. Is it necessary to convert the iso to dmg? what i did was I just restore the msiwindosx86.iso directly to usb then use osx86 tools to make it bootable, all work fine.

Does nc10 dvd let you update through apple directly?

If not, I'll wait before downloading this distro.

Many thanks for the guide.
Have followed instructions to the letter (I think) but on booting via ddmac (Slide number 54), I get this error - cant progress just loops.



Have double checked the MD5 of my JAS ISO (JaS.OSx86.10.5.4.Client.Server.Intel.SSE2.SSE3) - and is OK.
PPF process seemed to go OK.

Any ideas gratefully received.

did you check the md5 of final iso? maybe during download process it may have been damaged? bcoz it should have been volume=Samsung-NC10-10.5.6

looks like stg damaged?

hope u had a backup copy of your jas before u did this process, before you try again, but first check your md5 of final iso
note: md5 of the ppf is 7EACDDFD05933171B101555DAF0FD326 (i didnt provide this, guess i should have... in case download gets damaged on the way, which sometimes happen...)
md5 of the final iso 766E0A44E0E55CCCCB4942DBD3FC3D87
borelli: how did you do the trackpad fix? by the installer i provided or manually?

Hi Mysticus

First I tried the manual instructions (removing the lines of code), rebooted a couple of times, didn't work.
Then I reinserted the two lines of code, to return everything back to previous state, before installing your installer.
Any ideas?

Also, I've noticed - and tested a few times - that with an SD inserted, the NC10 will enter but won't return from sleep state. Is this a known issue?

u sure you did those in the right file?

if you are sure, just use the installer i provided, and restart it should work unless you messed up other things as well... also are you on the 10.5.6?

Hi

Yep i followed the instructions precisely

...
open terminal / sudo su /enter password / nano /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Trackpad.prefPane/Contents/Info.plist / use only arrow keys to scroll down to above key and string area / and delete them both... using del key / ctrl+O (letter O and not number 0) / enter / ctrl+X / reboot
...

Wasn't working, so put the lines back in, then tried your installer.
Yep on 10.5.6 from your ISO posted yesterday many many many many thanks!

I've installed the nc10 package from biketown, but sleep doesn't work (apple button->stop)
It goes like in stand by but after pressing the power button I have a black screen,

with the installer, still not working?

can you provide screen cap of your system preferences?



you need to use original powermanagement.bundle with those packages, anyways, i will revise it tomorrow, to add original powermanagement bundle so it will work i guess...

Sure...

that looks funny, your toucpad either not standard or you have messed up the trackpad prefpane somehow... i will provide another pref pane with everything included... complete replacement... it sounds more like it has messed up... as you say you followe everything correctly, which i have doubts...

you didnt change anything else in the system right?

Just a standard NC10. Nothing changed. Instructions followed to the letter, promise!!!
but yes something is messed up for sure. That would be amazing mysticus thanks

By the way as I've been setting this up, i've recently found a much better UK Keyboard layout than is installed by default. it maps everything precisely, which is really good. download here with instructions... http://www.gingerbeardman.com/UK.keylayout/

i will test uk keyboard layout and if it works, i will make installer for it as well... thanx for pointing this out, many people have trouble with it i suppose

i hope it doesnt mess with other stuff...

ok here is your test installer to see if it will fix your issue

install restart and check system preferences... and feedback after that...

That did it! Thankyou very very very much Mysticus you are amazing

told you, you must have messed up something while doing it...

enjoy...

I have nearly everything working now Thanks Mysticus.
I have still the Problem with the external monitor.
(activated mirror mode or sth. like that, and now get crazy picture when ex. monitor is plugged in)

Is it possible to reset the grafik driver only?

Hi Anybody :
