Hi,

Bayern München - Barcelona : 4-0
Dortmund - Real Madrid: 4-1

They still have another game to play, but the final will be between Bayern München and Dortmund.

2 German teams in the final, Europe must be angry

I'm a Schalke 04 fan, well, that's not even an option anymore. Let Dortmund win the final, same region as where i come from. Do not tell my uncle, he even has bed sheets from Bayern München

Hi,

Well, first of, i did not allow Insanelymac the offline access, do not know if it has anything to do with the issue.

I set up my profile to sync the profile picture with FB, somehow this does not happen, only when i do it manually. (Edit profile, manage Facebook, synchronize.)
I allowed Insanelymac to share my profile feed on Facebook, unless i select the option to post it to Facebook,(When i update my feed) it will not be posted.

Don't know if it happens to others, tested it with multiple browsers etc, been looking at it for a few months.
Something is wrong in the synchronization i think.

Hi PunkNugget,

Perhaps a sub section on this would be an idea. I see all these beautiful mods, and all i can think about is, " I want this!"

Now, i have 2 left hands, i do not even know where to start. Of course i can disassemble my laptop, but where would i go from there? What tools do i use?
Like my back cover, i would draw an apple on it, get a hammer and screwdriver, and punch the apple out, it will never look nice. I could use some tips on that, just an idea

Good thing posting this, it get's war to less attention in my opinion.

Hi,

Well, i had to write a little tutorial on how to do this: http://www.insanelym...tion-guide-wip/

Just a copy/paste from that topic, so the guide does contain some information that is not present or irrelevant.
It needs editing, perhaps a lot, but i thought i would post it here.
Why? I will explain.

Clover comes with an installer package, and people will drop folders on the web everywhere (System specific), but never a descent tutorial on how to actually UEFI boot can be found (perhaps i did not look into this enough)
Personally the installer package did not make it possible for me to add the option in the bios, nor boot my OS X installation anymore, that is mainly the reason why i wrote this poor excuse of a guide
I tried every option on the installer, could not make it work, so i figured, let's do it manually. Read about what UEFI can and can not do, went through the Clover documentation, although, i did not understand much about it, until i actually got it to boot.

To install it to the EFI partition, i took information from the Chameleon guide, found here: http://forum.voodoop...x.php/topic,649
and modified it to suit my BIOS's needs. (MSDOS filesystem)

I hope someone will take the time to modify this tutorial, to make it beginner friendly, or just remove it, if something like this already exists.
The screenshots are from a Phoenix Bios, don't know about the others.

How to install Clover and add it to the UEFI Boot menu:
- Be careful when replacing the current boot loader, your system may become unbootable if you skip a step, or do not pay attention!

To UEFI boot Clover, we need to install it to a FAT32 partition, UEFI will only find partitions in this format.
I recommend to test Clover on a USB stick formatted in FAT32, and just copy the files to it, before actually replacing the current bootloader.

1.)
First we need to find the HDD that has OS X installed on a GUID partition table, and look for the EFI partition. Open terminal and type:

sudo -s
type password
diskutil list

I have Clover already installed on disk0s1, for this guide i will install it to disk1s1, which is my spare HDD, also formatted to GPT.

2.)
We need to apply a new filesystem to the EFI partition, remember to replace the X corresponding to your disk setup.
In terminal enter:

newfs_msdos -v EFI /dev/diskXsX

It will give an error, you can ignore it. The EFI partition has been formatted to FAT32 and can now be recognized by UEFI.

3.)
Now it is time to mount the EFI partition and copy the needed files. Type the following into terminal, remember tot replace the X's:

mkdir /Volumes/EFI
mount_msdos /dev/diskXsX /Volumes/EFI

Go to finder, on the left hand side, you will now have a disk called EFI.

4.)
Now download the Clover_Package.zip, if not done already. After extraction, you will have a folder called EFI, copy the folder with all the contents to the EFI partition.


To this:




5.)
Go back to terminal and type the following, replace the X's:

umount -f /dev/diskXsX
rm -rf /Volumes/EFI

Now Clover has been installed to the EFI partition, now it is time to add the boot option to the UEFI boot menu.

- Restart your system and press F2 multiple times, you should now enter the bios.
- Go to the Boot options tab, use the arrow keys. (What keys you can use, are described at the bottom of the screen.)

- My setup will probably differ from yours, change them accordingly, select add boot option and press enter.

- Now enter a name, i use Clover, press tab, and select either HDD (If you have Clover installed to the EFI partition) or USB (if you have installed Clover to a USB device on a FAT32 partition), you can select it with the arrow keys. Now press tab and enter: EFI\BOOT\Cloverx64.efi
Press tab again, select ok, and press Enter.

- Clover has now been added to the boot menu. Move up with the arrow keys until Clover is highlighted, press +. Press F10 and Enter. (Or follow the screens)




- The system will now reboot, and Clover should load. Select the OS X partition and press Enter, OS X will boot.

Hi all,

I did it again, i wrecked another HDD, and my audio out jack does not work anymore.
Yesterday i called Dell about it, i still had partial sound back then. The support engineer told me i had to sent the notebook in for repairs, would take around 10 work days.
I'm very attached to my notebook, 10 days or longer without it, can't imagine what i should do, go outside perhaps, spent some time with my GF or something. So i told him i would call back if anything else breaks.

So in the late hours, i had an attack of nerd rage, out of nowhere, the 3rd replacement HDD broke down, don't know why
I had to remove the HDD to even get my system to boot past the bios screen.
This morning, i called Dell again, the engineer i spoke to, was not pleased, he could not give me any Windows support, and anything else is not supported. I told him this was a hardware failure, and he should support me with that, since i paid for the extended service. His mood went down, guess i was a bit to straight forward. He told me i had to install the broke HDD again and run the system self test (BS in my opinion, but ok, i did it)

The HDD was not even recognized, waited 15 min, the time it took to start the self test

Called back, explained everything again, the guy i spoke to was a lot more understanding, and at least he knew the terms i used.
He had to consult a supervisor, on what to do. At this point i thought "Damn >.<"

He came back to me, told me a technician will come by on monday to replace the mainboard and hdd, they only bring in notebooks for repair if they have any doubts about the cause of the failure

If i had any other questions he asked, well, my last laugh: "Yes, i replaced my wifi card, the broken hdd, should i remove them before the repair? Also, i have only OS X installed, since the HDD with Ubuntu broke, does the technician reinstall Windos?"

Well, if i did not want him to reinstall the OS, he would be happy to note it down, seems the technicians are glad when they can skip that step.

And then the question, what is the address? Told him he could choose 1, Belgium or Germany (The notebook was delivered in the Netherlands), he still did not loose his temper, nor was he annoyed.


The moral of this story, you just need to speak to the right person to get something done right, i think....
