jd_guthrie Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 From # 3 of the guide, use this: SSB_SPROM=$(find /sys/devices -name ssb_sprom) echo $SSB_SPROM cd ~ sudo cat $SSB_SPROM > ssb_sprom_copy ssb-sprom -i ssb_sprom_copy -P ssb-sprom -i ssb_sprom_copy --subv 0x106b --subp 0x0093 -o new_ssb_sprom_copy ssb-sprom -i new_ssb_sprom_copy -P echo $SSB_SPROM sudo cp new_ssb_sprom_copy $SSB_SPROM Note: after echo $SSB_SPROM, if your card is not listed, you won't be able to continue. Let me know if encounter that, but it shouldn't since I have that same card without an issue. I cant boot this unbent live usb drive. using unetbootin (btw there's no 10.10 live version so I selected 12.10 live) i get an error on boot saying that no operating system exist. This is the first time i do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time i do this. Just build a USB using your method and didn't have an issue. Personally I use grub4dos for multi-booting. Did you use the option Try Ubuntu without Install?

jd_guthrie Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Thanks for the tips. I may start with a new usb drive. I've actually tried the methods ya'll mentioned except for using grub4dos. I'll start fresh. I've been following this trackpad thread. With the latest driver the keyboard works but the touchpad is almost nonfunctional. I have to press hard to move the cursor and it actually works slightly better using two fingers. And it doesn't seem like multigestures work. I've posted my log file over there on June 28th and no one has posted anything back. I guess I'll just wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jd_guthrie Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 did you add it's prefpane and try adjusting the trackpad? Yes. I connected my Magic Mouse and adjusted all of that stuff. Nothing changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to replace your wireless card as Intel wifi are unsupported. You can follow this thread with full instruction including bootpack. Even though it said it's for model E6430 with NVS5200m, it'll work perfectly for yours too. Just change the resolution to match yours in boot.plist. If the instruction is too vague, then you should read about the myHack process thoroughly (link included in the 1st thread). Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 9, 2013 Moderators Share Posted July 9, 2013 How did you format it? This is done from Windows Follow thread to format and create a menu.lst file http://www.themudcrab.com/acronis_grub4dos.php Add this to menu.lst using notepad title Ubuntu 13.04 i386 find --set-root /ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386.iso map /ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386.iso (0xff) || map --mem /ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386.iso (0xff) map --hook root (0xff) kernel /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386.iso splash quiet -- initrd /casper/initrd.lz Make sure you include the Ubuntu iso file in the root, make sure the iso name and the text above matches ie. ubuntu-13.10-desktop-i386.iso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
