Ubuntu wannabe: after a couple of years working with it at the office I decided to install it in a MacBook Pro 5.1 with dual boot. Now I'm dealing with it, and enjoying!

Dual Boot: Ubuntu using 3 times more battery than Leopard? I'll look into 'laptop-mode-tools'. Any idea what am I looking for there? |

Dual Boot: Ubuntu using 3 times more battery than Leopard? It seems changing the NVIDIA propietary driver to "current-updates" helped in my case. |

Dual Boot: Ubuntu using 3 times more battery than Leopard? I can, none of them seems to be using that much CPU. But I just change the NVIDIA additional drivers to version current-updates, and now both the CPU's seem to be working better (both below 30%). Maybe this was it :) |

Dual Boot: Ubuntu using 3 times more battery than Leopard? System Monitor shows CPU1 and CPU2, and it seems that one of them is always at 100%. I have been reading in the Ubuntu forum and apparently this is a known issue, and I should do some stuff to manage the NVIDIA card so it uses less resources. Any ideas?? |

Unable to update Ubuntu 10.10 installed in MacBook Pro with dual boot Disk Utility in Ubuntu shows 3 partitions (it doesn't show the 200mb one). Gparted shows the 4 partitions, and when I installed Ubuntu the installation tool showed the free space that you say. |

Unable to update Ubuntu 10.10 installed in MacBook Pro with dual boot Disk Utility shows 4 partitions: 200mb as boot volume, 173gb as the Mac partition, 1023mb named "disk0S2" (this is the linux Swamp) and 59gb named "disk0S3" which is the Ubuntu partition. I'm going to boot into Ubuntu and see what it says. About sudo gdisk I run it from MacOS terminal, right? |

Dual Boot: Ubuntu using 3 times more battery than Leopard? Thanks Jan, I understand that. But I'm still surprised that Ubuntu uses so much more resources and heats up the computer so much. I'm looking for solutions to manage that better, since I'm afraid this overusage might damage the hardware. |

Dual Boot: Ubuntu using 3 times more battery than Leopard? Thanks. I understand that different OS calculate it in different ways, but I definitelly notice Ubuntu needing more resources. It also heats up the computer more and the vent has to go crazy once in a while. I'll run your test using the computer for the same stuff to see what happens. Thanks. |

Unable to update Ubuntu 10.10 installed in MacBook Pro with dual boot So yes, 3 partitions: Mac, LinuxSwap and Linux. No need to sync tables according to rEFIt, but gsync not found. That's all I can say! |

Unable to update Ubuntu 10.10 installed in MacBook Pro with dual boot I have 3 icons: Apple from HD, Linux from HD and Linux from Partition 3. Both Linux icons work fine and log into the same system (user, folders, everything the same). When I run the list of partitions that's what I see, although I'll check again. Thanks! |

Unable to update Ubuntu 10.10 installed in MacBook Pro with dual boot I actually tied that too, but it seemed to not recognize I had installed gdisk. Right now ubuntu 11.10 is working, I just have the problem that rEFIt shows 2 Linux icons. Not a big deal, although if you now how to fix it I would really appreciate ;) |

Unable to update Ubuntu 10.10 installed in MacBook Pro with dual boot Actually I followed those instructions. After installing Ubuntu 11.10 I tried to fix the tables with rEFIt, but it didn't let me. I tried fixing the tables by booting into the LiveCD and downloading gsync, but I wasn't able to save gsync in mnt/root, so I couldn't do it. Any ideas of how to fix the tables? Thanks! |

Unable to update Ubuntu 10.10 installed in MacBook Pro with dual boot Sorry, I don't understand. You are saying that since I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 I can't update the common way, rigth? So i have to download the intall cd of Ubuntu 11.10, then boot into my Ubuntu 10.10 Ubuntu and install it? Or do I have to download first 11.04? What do I do when it asks me about GRUB? |
