Forum still have some issues with the header - we are going to fix that in a few

If you dual boot your Windows PC with OS X or Linux, you may have experienced a problem in which your clocks reset themselves incorrectly every time you boot into Windows. Here's a simple registry edit to fix that. Hi, So i guess this have been a issue for most of you dualbooting. Essentially, the incorrect clock setting happens because OS X and Linux use GMT time while Windows tries to synchronize with your local time zone, getting confused when you reboot between the two. Apple's own Boot Camp drivers for Windows are supposed to fix this problem, though some users have noticed that it still happens even with the drivers installed, and some Linux users are left out in the cold. Furthermore, if you have a Hackintosh, you can't install the Boot Camp drivers, so you'll need to find another way around the problem. To fix it, just hit Start and type regedit.exe in the search box. Hit [Enter] and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation. Right click anywhere in the right pane and hit New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it RealTimeIsUniversal, then double click on it and give it a value of 1. Lastly, reboot into OS X, then reboot back into Windows. You should now notice that your clock actually displays the correct time. ... or import the attached reg file. Timefix: timefix.zip

Hi, So i managed to dig out a old D420 that i wasent using any more and decided to check out Chrome OS - after testing like a million different images i can now say that this one works perfect.

Hi, In my constant hunt for better wifi my my Lenovo x201 I decided to give the BCM4360 a go - logically - the only to be found around is real apple cards (rumor has it that you can get some funky noname cards in china - but i have yet to test them) The card in question looks like this: Now, logically.. this card wont fit just any machine - its made for a mac, so we are gonna need an adapter to fix that. For that we are gonna use an adapter called "Mini PCI-E Adapter for BCM94360CD/BCM94331CD" (search on ebay) ... and mounted... Since its native supported by Apple (doh!) its just to plug it in and start having fun - Same goes for Ubuntu/Debian - it does become a bit more tricky under Windows - however - it seems Asus have made a card with the same chipset - so i managed to track down the Windows driver for that - bluetooth under windows still remains to be fixed. Windows wifi driver: DR_PCE_AC66_6309519_Win8.zip Have fun! //Leon

Hi, you need to flash your bios under windows and replace the wifi with a supported card

No, a zipped version of /Extra and any kexts you have added to sle

Add the whole folder so i can have a look.

Great progress - and yes - you are allowed to discuss almost everything here you want.. we are no tonycrap or IM.. Would you mind posting your "extra" folder ? imessage can be tricky as hell.. but there is a few guides around that could help. I have the x201s myself but havent been experimenting with yos yet

Yesterday I finally got around to dual-booting my MacBook, with a nice fresh copy of Windows 7. Everything was great, except for a laggy download of the Windows Support Software. So, earlier today, I got around to installing the drivers. It turns out, my old MacBook didn't support BootCampx64. I then did a quick search on how to fix this issue. I came up with a number of answers, but this is an answer aimed at people who were in my situation which is: I could not right click on the BootCampx64.msi file, because of the missing drivers. Or if I could right click, then changing the properties of BootCampx64.msi resulted in not having the required elevated access privileges. My solution (done from within Windows, obviously): Without the drivers installed, you can still right click on the BootCampx64.msi file by click it with 'Shift-F10' which apparently acts as an alternate right click. If you have the first step down, try opening the properties of the file, and change the compatibility to earlier versions of Windows. If that still doesn't work, then open the start menu. Then go to Programs » Accessories » CMD, and hover over CMD. Press Shift-F10, or right click if you are able, on CMD (the Windows Command Prompt). Select the option in the drop-down menu, 'Run as Administrator.' Then open CMD and get a shell window. Now, when you open CMD, you should be running it as C:Windowssystem32. At the Command Prompt, type in cd /d C: You should now have C: at the far left of the prompt. Type in cd Users. Then type in dir. Find your username, and then type in cd username, e.g. cd John Smith Continue the dir, cd process until you come into the directory in which the BootCampx64.msi is. (You may have dragged the WindowsSupport folder onto the desktop, or someplace else). After you have reached the directory, simply type in BootCampx64.msi. The program should start. All of the drivers should start installing. You probably won't be able to move your mouse if you have a trackpad, as I do, because the Apple Trackpad driver is one of the last to be installed. If it seems like the process is taking a while, be patient. Sources: This earlier hint, this Apple forum thread, and this very helpful article.

Something like that yes..

Hi, Lately i have been messing with Elementary OS, its a quite nice linux distro that unlike most others works and acts alot more like OSX. Anyway - tip of the day - howto enable Elementary Tweaks on the latest beta of Freya Original link: http://www.reddit.com/r/elementaryos/comments/2cv41d/installingelementarytweaksonfreya/ Install Tweaks $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:versable/elementary-tweaks-isis $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install elementary-tweaks Open schema file in text editor: $ sudo scratch-text-editor /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.interface.gschema.xml Insert the following text BEFORE the closing tag at the end of the file: falseOverlay ScrollbarToggle the overlay scrollbar.$ Install dconf-editor $ sudo apt-get install dconf-editor Go to org->gnome->desktop->interface on dconf-editor Find and enable ubuntu-overlay-scrollbars option It then says to reboot but I would think logging out then back in of the desktop would be enough. Hope this works for everyone. Sorry if I screw up the markdown... First $ permalink Compile schemas sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ Now open Tweaks and all works

Anyone had luck with Yosemite on the Lenovo's yet ?

Right, so next step is to get it to work under Linux (Ubuntu or rather Elementary OS) .. any suggestions ?

Honestly.. i dont know.. but it seems to be the solution in this case atleast. Logically.. it would be more cool to have it working as a WWAN device.. on the other hand.. using the watcher does give quite alot of info.

Links: Info: http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/hardware/?action=h_view&model_id=1210 Mode switch (Windows): http://www.szelins.com/download/usermanual/H685_MC7710_from_DIP_to_QMI.pdf Following is my research notes on the mc7710 First of all - i figured out that the card operates either in QMI or DIP (Direct IP) mode - To identify what mode your card is in check the ProductID under sysinfo. 0x68A2 = QMI 0x68a3 = DIP This seems to have alot of inpact on wether you can use it under osx/linux or not - under windows - logically... both work - mine is in QMI, There is a guide here for howto change it - but i havent had much luck with it yet: http://www.szelins.com/download/usermanual/H685_MC7710_from_DIP_to_QMI.pdf My progress on the different OS: OSX 10.9.4: Patched Cellphonehelper.kext makes it show up in the topbar, but says "PIN LOCKED" when i click on it (the sim card is not locked) Sierrawatcher: Card _MUST_ be in direct ip mode (DIP) or it wont work.. i'm pretty sure it will enable 4G/LTE also. Use this watcher software: Generic_Mac_Watcher_B3563.mpkg.zip Tried to patch the different plists and while card gets detected its unable to connect - dies with error "unable to comm. with modem" Linux: Not detected Windows: Works perfect using Sierrawatcher software Update: Switching modes from QMI to DIP worked by using another machine solves the problem and it now works as a DIP device in OSX using the watcher software. DirectIP vs. QMI DirectIP: - Independent control of user plane and data plane o Different USB interfaces for control vs data - Data sessions can be controlled by AT commands - Simple to setup a data session (one AT cmd to configure profile, one to trigger data session) o User can test manually from a terminal program - Currently supports multiple concurrent data sessions (PDP contexts) to host o Note: works in HSPA but not fully tested on LTE - No support for CDMA (therefore can’t be used with MC7750). - No SDK support on MC77xx platforms as we don’t officially support CNS on MC77xx - Windows and Linux driver support available QMI: - Control and data planes are multiplexed together o Share a single USB interface for control & data - Data sessions can only be controlled via QMI protocol - Compared to AT cmds, much more complicated to setup a data session as control services need to be initialized before any QMI commands can be sent o Need some sort of host program to do this (can’t be done manually) - Currently, does not support multiple concurrent data sessions to host o QCT has no plans to support but Sierra looking to add this support ourselves o May be more complicated than DirectIP due to fact that we will need to split control and data planes for subsequent data sessions (i.e. one control interface for multiple data paths) - Supports CDMA (currently only option for MC7750). - Supported via QMI SDK in Linux and Windows - Windows and Linux driver support available

Hey, could you please upload the pictures from your first thread to osxl. Thank you.

Since its still a rather new card i would think its a driver issue - and by that try and track down the people behind the driver and ask them.

Weirdly enough.. it started working after a bunch of reboots.. gonna do a bit of performance tests before i start experimenting with the mc7110 instead

Ok, it seems like its the installer that needs to be updated - i have asked mick to update it and re-upload...

WTF.. i thought i fixed that.. can you send me a screen shot ?

The STA driver does not work good with all cards. To remove the STA driver, look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2123176 In other words.. try: sudo apt-get purge broadcom-sta

Awesome work guys/girls - and welcome to OSXL. Would love to see your take on the laptop version.

Awesome, thanx mate.. i have added it to the main thread

BIOS i am not so worried about.. for the x201 we have a patched bios to whitelist that.. it will be quite slow to get past bios but the card will work. The x201s only comes with one antenna for WWAN, so i have wired in an antenna mine manually... adding one more shouldent be the biggest problem
