    Wifi on Ubuntu has been activated using Broadcom STA wireless. Googling states the card could be a Atheros AR5B91 B/G/N.

  2. Ok. I downgraded Chameleon to r2263, and the touchpad/stick + sound all are working. Something in 2266 broke it. Anyone have an idea what might be the issue?

     

    Next up I want to figure out how to create a custom DSDT. I see Chameleon wizard can do this...but is that an ok method? I apparently have to remove the DSDT.aml file I used. What is the potential risk of that?

  3. The below text is in reference to the following thread: 

    https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2674-dell-e64006500m4400-mavericks-109-gm/

     

    I'm currently having issues. I successfully got the initial GM of Mavericks installed, and everything was working perfectly. Then I decided I wanted to install the final app store version. I installed it "successfully", however now the sound as well as touchpad/stick are not working. I used myHack 3.3 this time as well as the same extras I used initially from the above linked "guide" thread. I've tried reinstalling twice, and have built a new USB installer as well. I also tried manually installing the ktexts. Which didn't work. Everything appears to be the same as it was when the GM was installed.

     

    One thing I did notice is that during install the touchpad/stick weren't working like they did previously. Can someone confirm what version of myHack they are using? I'm wondering if something related to myHack is causing the problem, since initially I think I used the beta of myHack with initial mavericks support. Could this be a Chameleon issue?

     

    History/Other information of device:

     

    - ML was installed and ran perfectly previously.

     

    - I did update BIOS to A34 since I was running a significantly older BIOS. I did ensure the BIOS settings were as needed for Mavericks. And I actually booted into the gold master successfully after the BIOS update. Everything worked perfectly at that point.

     

    - What does work: WIFI, GPU w/ QE, keyboard, usb ports, sound buttons work but volume is greyed out, app store access, dvd drive, display, VGA port, can't test SD card

     

    - System information displays Audio as follows: Devices - Intel High Definition Audio: Audio ID: 12

     

    - Trackpad preferences shows - No trackpad found

  4. Having issues. I successfully got the initial gold master installed, and everything was working perfectly. Then I installed the final (from scratch) and the sound as well as touchpad/stick are not working. I used myhack 3.3 this time and the same attached extras I used initially. I've tried reinstalling twice, and have built a new usb installer as well. I also tried manually installing the ktexts. One thing I did notice is that during install the touchpad/stick aren't working as before. Can someone confirm what version of myhack they are using? Wondering if something there is causing the problem since initially I think I used the beta of myhack with initial mavericks support.

  5. I may actually stick with the m6400. So I thought I'd post some basic specs and try and get more detailed as a research prior to purchase. The e6400 that I currently have runs ML so amazingly I'm not sure I'll even need the power of the i7.

  6. Hello everyone. First a big thank you to the site admins for manually activating my account, as well as their prompt response to my email. I'm here seeking some guidance, from those more experienced than I, on what would be the best hardware solution for me.

     

    I've been looking at the E6300 models and some of the various desktops. I'm looking for low cost, but powerful enough that it won't leave me regretting the purchase. I have an old 17" Intel Core 2 Duo iMac that finally died and I'd like to see about getting a laptop and desktop to replace it. I appreciate this site and will begin searching to find some answers myself, but I hope to hear from some of the users here as well. Thanks for reading!
