Excellent Boreli, thanks for this.

giliath: i can confirm mirroring does not work however desktop extension works... to be able to do it, you need to enable display menu on tray bar, and make sure where you leave your mouse, old display is garbled, you can still click on things... just try couple of times, to disable mirroring, it will fix it self... i dont know at the moment what causes mirror to function awkward but it does although desktop extension works just fine...

cklaw: just read the post#1 go to bike town and collect the necessary files from there...

uk users: borelli poiinted out to some files for uk layout, and it works! i placed in samsung nc10 files section in bike town, here is the quick link to samsung files folder

how to use correct UK keyboard layout:
+ Install the uk keyboard layout fix.
+ Open system preferences / International / Input Menu
+ Scroll down (through the middle to bottom) to find UK selection (not british, it is UK)
+ Select UK
+ On the bottom of the menu, you will see "Show input menu in menu bar" option also select this (dont close the menu yet)
+ Make "UK" selection from the menu bar (top right corner, you will see language selection, select the "UK" option)
+ Open a finder window /application/text editor, and type somethings that you were not able to see when you pressed the certain keys... working? ok now unselect "Show input menu in menu bar" in the system preferences and close the system preferences menu
+ From now on it should work from UK

Thank YOU SO MUCH, for all your work MYST, and others for your help !

As you can see in my grab, all is allright !

EVEN THE WIFI AND THUS FUC*** keyboard !

Thanks a lot !!!!!

enjoy mate...

Ho, just a question
on the nc10, what the max resolution?
the atom is not a core2duo?
I can see just one proc in the system info.

Thx

Hi Mysticus C*,
I've been carefully reading the posts for the last 10 days or so and i decided to take the plunge. However, after what seemed like a successful install, i am stuck at the apple logo with mac os x refusing to start beyond that.

FYI i got the original jas 10.5.4 iso, combined it with the apple 10.5.6 combo using the dvd upgrade utility. and the Samsung iso was copied using ddmac and then i started with it and proceed to install. All was smooth with no errors.

i am now downloading the all in one iso and will see how that goes.

Any clue as to what i did wrong?

Thanks for all your great work, i decided to get the nc10 after reading this forum.

atom is currently single core, but there is new models coming out or came out already for dual core, but core processors are totally different range!

atom however has hyperthreading, which enables processing two threads at the same time, when you check activity monitor it will show like two process monitor...

I installed a Touchscreen on my friends NC10 and it worked great with osx on NC10

if you provide information about how/what is done tips/tricks it would be more informative...

I'll try to do it later today or tomorrow

thanx, it will be more informative and helpful... for future...

as soon as i collected enough money for it, i will be doing it, and if someone did it earlier, it is easier to avoid accidents etc trouble...

cheers

Hey i figured out after restoring my windows install the mac one became corrupt can i repair it using the DVD?As when i boot into my mac install it comes up with a missing error,If i can't repair the install
If so what command do i use?

Where can i donwload the nc10 10.5.5 driver package so i can install the original 10.5.4 and just update it to 10.5.5 using your guide i used before
Thanks

read post #1 everything you need to know is there

my suggestion: if you still have 10.5.4 jas dvd iso, just download the ppf!! and apply it, you will get 10.5.6 otb...

Hello guy

Merry Christmas !!!
My dear Mysticus, all is working perfectly on my NC10 ! So nice ! The only problem I have is I don't have any informations concerning Touchpad in Preference Panel !!! :s
Do you know why ? Maybe it's possible to reinstall it ?

Nick14, we are waiting for your tips and guide concerning touchscreen ^^

Thanks

I'v read it and i can't see the 10.5.5 driver pack...?
I'd rather not upgrade to 10.5.6 as i was happy with 10.5.5 and i allready have the dvd burnt(very short of them)

Also my isp shares one isp and won't be able to download off RS for another 5-6 hours

Do you know if the jas-nc10 ppf dvd can be used to repair the install as i don't want to loose it really?
Like how you would repair you windows install with the install cd

Thanks

And merry chrstmas and have a good new year everyone

tazevil: read post #846 in previous page for how to get toucpad/settings... and page 40 post#795 to see where to look for the settings please! learn to read before you post!

rt91: there is a torrent link as well for the 10.5.6 iso, and you dont know what you are missing with this release! fastest and the best so far! almost , almost everything working i look forward, and 10.5.5 is behind already... if you insist on 10.5.5 still here is the file but i highly suggest you to do what i said...

I will download that soon,as i'll be on a 20MB connection next week,until then i am on less than 1mb and don't want to face into a slow web browsing experience while the torrent downloads for 2 days ..Cheers for the link

Hey Myst....wanted to let you know I installed the brodcom 1505 bgn wifi card works like a charm... in the system profiler it says third party card...(no biggie)....

one thing though
when I have the battery out and only use the power cord. the computer including the energy saving preference pane believe it is running on battery mode. For instance when running updates it says I should plug in, and it dims in 3 minutes (which is the dim setting I picked for battery mode only) versus 15 min for power cord.
I know you said you were working on the sleep issue, could this be the root of the problem?

thanks

sleep issue is in bios/acpi -->dsdt tables... i made a solution already but didnt have time to test it yet... wife is busy with it

Hey Mysticus,
following on my earlier post: I realized that i forgot to customize the mac os x install, so i selected the nc10 package and it booted fine!


Thank you so much!

Just to let everyine know samsung have recently released the 0.4CA bios

if you provide the link, it would be better and more helpful

the link is for the US models

What do you think about the energy saving thing...that it always thinks it is running on battery (when battery is out and is plugged in only.)

i dont have that issue, what is your base installation version? and current version?

I used the 10.5.6 nc10 iso that someone put up on demonoid.

All I know is when running the software updates for the small things like update iwork update quicktime component etc. it would say you should plug into power source for all installs. (i was but had no battery in it, i try and save the cycles for when I am at school). Also (as I am on power cord only) the screen dims after 1 min which is my energy settings for battery, the energy savings for power plug is 15 min and yet it dims at 1 min. So I am not sure why it does that...
its kinda hard to explain i hope that makes more sense.

I have a feeling when both are in it will work normally, but like i said I usually work with the battery taken out.

i tested it without battery and it shows no battery, i plugged the battery, and battery showed up, took it off, it went away again... so no battery issue here... did you somehow install any previous driver pack after the dvd install? like 10.5.6 install pack or any previous one?

ok well when battery is out and just plugged in, it shows no battery, and when its in it shows battery.... I am just talking about the settings on the diming test it like this

go to energy settings select 1 min for battery mode and 15 min for power adapter mode for screen dim screen sleep whatever it is called.

now with battery in and power in see how long it takes to dim, then with battery in only see how long it takes to dim, and then try power only see how long it takes to dim,

I didnt install anything at all. afterward that didnt come from software update.

bios link

Hello all i have a new error i'v got everything up and running but when i attempt to boot into mac osx it goes to the grey screen for 2 or 3 seconds and then crashes and reboots(sorry for all the questions)

Edit:
http://img296.imageshack.us/my.php?image=25112008069oh6.jpg
That is the error,found it further back in the thread...But that was not using Jas dvd...

I have already sucessfully installed,i formatted the disk and then tried to get into the os selection via the dvd it did not work,i rebooted and my os selection screen popped up
I edited my boot.ini as "C:\" was missing from infront of chain0 and rebooted,selected mac,then OSX 1 disk and the error appered....

too many people reporting funny funny errors, caused by user's inability to understand or read the guides...

you are reporting an error on what? what did you install? which dvd? and when did it happen?

also did you read the very first page of the guide about bios settings...

I m kind of getting pissed off at some of the repeating problems... and no information given to get help... saying error error...

please state what version of osx you are using? jas? nc10 10.5.4? 10.5.5? 10.5.6?
when did the error happen? after what?

and please for gods sake read the through the posts as well, i m fed up answering repeated same questions!

Well i asked you in an earlier post about where the 10.5.5 drivers were and i said i had the Jas dvd already

version:10.5.4 ORIGINAL JAS DVD+NC10 PPF
I installed the Operating system and rebooted,went into windows to make windows partition primiary..

Rebooted and then selected the MAC OSX operating system then selected OSX 1 and waited then it loaded briefly on the gray mac screen and the restarted,
The image i linked to is what i see,but from an old post(that user was using the msi wind iso...I'm not!)

I allready posted every photo of the bios before you looked at them and said all was ok...


Edit:I'm sorry i tried my best to help,but i have very little knowledge of the Mac operating system in fact since i found this thread was the first time i used it
EDIT:Actually forget it!If you're gonna get pissed off with me just cause i can't be as "perfect" with mac osx as you..I think i'd rather go and figure it out for myself and let you get on with your wining

you are not reporting problems correctly, first you said original 10.5.4 you are using, and in next post, you are mentioning jas-nc10, and you didnt even say why exactly you needed the nc10 10.5.5 driver pack? you updated to 10.5.5 or you are trying to? as you are saying you were fine with 10.5.5, so you somehow messed it up too?

restoring windows should not mess up your mac drive, you could just add back the c:\chain0="osx" line and everything would be ok, however you dont even know how to do it again correctly either...

your bios screens means nothing to me, apart from checking to see you do it right, but i see it many times that people keep saying they do everything right when more than half the time they dont! i say read this page in the guide, people confirm 100 times and yet still wrong... how do i know you did all the previous steps correctly?

you did install some other things, and messed up the system, how i know? because that screen post you sent shows you either upgraded your system and/or messed up doing some funny things (probably you installed things on top of previous install to make a nice mix of driver soup without erasing the partition to install) and acpi-apic versions dont match at the end cause that error you are seeing!

i suggest you to go get torrent or ppf to patch original jas, you are refusing that as well... i told you what to do, if you do it correctly, you wouldnt have problem, you dont follow it, it is your problem...

again, read the latest guide and get the latets package else, learn to fix things on your own

adamcarter: i can confirm the error you mention, and i think it is either another bios bug or acpibatterymanager bug... eitherway i cant do anything, just make apropriate power profile for that situaton if it bothers you that much, noth like end of life...

Read my above post please,
I try my best to tell you as much as you can and you just get pissed off,i'll take care of it myself

thanx, i will get on with my wining... very nice...

i try to help everyone as much as i can, but i have my limits too... i keep receving help requests and answering them but everytime i get conflicting answers or misleading statements which leads me to waste my time... you call me wining? very very nice...

i hope you take care of your problem... good luck...

I just finished installing OSX on my NC10 using the patched iso from the torrent. It boots up fine, but I have no working network: both the ethernet and wifi cards are missing. What did I do wrong?

Nothing.

For integrated WLAN and LAN, there is currently no reliable drivers.
You can watch a Dell 1390, 1490, 1500, 1505 buy. These should be out of the box work.

Hey ludoo,

I think you did everything right, Ethernet is still unsupported because there are no drivers for the marvel/yukon hardware I think. And your original nc10 wireless card won't work either.. you'll have to replace it with this dell-mini-pci card which was mentioned a couple of times in previous posts. I for myself took the card out of my mac-mini which also works perfectly fine.

So unless you already replaced your wifi card this is completely normal.

Cheers,
iXXn

If you don´t want wo buy a new wireless card search in the Hradware/Driver - Wireless board.
There is al solution for the ar5007eg but it is very instable.
I bought a Dell 1390 works out of the box.

EDIT: thats the post: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=138351

Thanks a lot for the replies! Guess my OSX partition will stay unused until new drivers are available, then.

you dont get it i think,

there is no reliable drivers for stock LAN and WIFI, and I would not really hope for stable drivers for those in the near future...

if you want internet on OSX, get a usb lan like apple's usb-lan, or get one of the mentioned Dell wifi... else your osx will stay unused for a long time you must be very patient...

I replaced the stock hard disc with a 30Gb OCZ SSD module - and so for space reasons have only a single partition, containing OS X.

To save me from having to crack the machine open again and temporarily replace the original disc, can anyone suggest a download location for a USB-bootable Windows image that I could load from a USB drive in order to upgrade the system's firmware with the latest BIOS update?

(Alternatively, if anyone's managed to work out any way to extract the actual flash image from the Windows installer for use from DOS, this would be an even better option. The only other approach would be if Wine has sufficiently low access to allow the BIOS update to be performed - but I'm guessing that this isn't the case... )

u can just buy a 2.5" usb enclosure (10-15$) and you can keep your windows hdd for use later... or use ghost to copy it to some other hdd or usb drive...

how is the performance of the ssd?

I posted a problem with the NC10 restoring partitions and the XP restore. My problem boils down to the fact that when I did a bare metal restore (rebuilt entire hard disk) using the XP restore disk, XP would not install. The install would work past the point that the partitions are made and the install copies setup files to the hard drive, then the system reboots and you are supposed to go into the user interface supported portion of the install. But on my nc10, it just starts at the beginning of the install again. forgetting it had already done part of the install.

Also in the bios, there is an explanation point next to the hard drive. This means that the bios is sensing an issue with the hard disk. Samsung support did not have any answers, they offered to do a repair.

I returned my nc10 for exchange to Amazon.com, as it appears the hard disk or bios/controller is defective.

Just wanted to log that in case someone else runs into this problem

Where is the installation log kept? I was trying to upgrade a stock install of Jas 10.5.4 to the NC10 10.5.6 using DDMac, but when I boot off of the ddmac partition and get to the install step, it says no installation media could be found. I've followed the instructions on the first page but had some issues understanding it.

Just a warning for people, I installed the new samsung BIOS, and i'm now getting endless loops on the apple boot screen so stay away if you have a working OSX partition

Damn. If it ain't broke don't fix it! Don't suppose anyone has a solution?

just confirming what borelli said, DO NOT UPDATE YOUR BIOS or your mac partition wont boot!

edit: found a solution!
reboot, press f2, go to advanced, go to EDB and enable it. (the bios update disabled it)

phew!!

read the guide guys! i put the bios settings to page 1 and people are still ignoring it!

endless reboot is caused by EDB setting disabled! I provided in the guide as first page!...

stuart: download the 10.5.6 ppf, and apply it! easiest way to do it!

I can't Don't have an RS account and the last time I applied a PPF to an ISO it didn't do anything, so I know I'm not applying it correctly. Trying to download the 10.5.6 torrent but right now I'm downloading at a whole .2 KBs

well you can get 1-2 days rs account for coupe bucks... also when you apply ppf, just make sure to check md5!!! than u can track down where the error is... else, you may be using a wrong iso which would cause some issue...

I applied the ISO and did an MD5 check and it came out fine. When I installed it it still ran 10.5.4. I think I'll just use msiosx for a bit while the 10.5.6 download works.
