I'm using daily iso of ubuntu 13.04 amd64+mac (from the 12th january)
#Mid 2012 retina gfxcardstatus install#
I've installed osx on an external usb drive (internal ssd drive contain only linux, no osx), i ran gfxcardstatus 2.2.1, selected integrated only, rebooted on ubuntu install iso from another usbstick and i i'm still stuck with nouveau only.Įven worse: lspci now list only the nvidia card, i used to be able to see the intel too, i even had /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo. I still have to test the A-Link dongle thoroughly in Windows, but no problems so far, so it shouldn't be a faulty dongle.

The only way I've gotten a stable "wireless" connection is with USB-tethering with my Android phone. I've also gone through all the channels in the settings of my AP router (just incase.) And oh yes, using an extension USB cord with the A-Link dongle doesn't help either (I tried that just incase, if there was weird interference or something). When that starts happening disconnecting the dongle might work at first, but after a while it doesn't help (the connection works only for a minute or so). However with that it doesn't disconnect but just starts getting transfer errors and eventually data isn't transmitted at all. The A-Link dongle is supported by Linux, even according to A-Link. Then I bought an A-Link wnu(m) USB WiFi adapter because someone mentioned he "fixed" the issue by buying a cheap USB dongle.
I've tried with my router AP and Android phone WiFi tethering. The Macbook's internal WiFi keeps disconnecting etc, lots of transfer errors. Still keeps disconnecting etc though.ĭoes anyone actually have working WiFi on a Retina Macbook? I've tried the 13.04 daily around christmas, and now I'm running 12.10 with 3.8-rc3 kernel (compiled from ). Instead of the b43cutter stuff you can also just sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree. Have a look at this link (below), although the instruction is not so clear, might do if you read several times 3.8-rc3 kernel) has support now for Macbookpro Retina. Some sources for info (I don't know which ones are relevant anymore, I've been through hundreds of pages probably):ġ3.04 (i.e. Extra kernel options: "nouveau.modeset=1 i915.lvds_use_ssc=0 i915.lvds_channel_mode=2 i915.modeset=1" Also the SDCard reader didn't work before, now it works, etc. Intel works correctly and also WiFi seems to work better, have to test more to say for sure. No patches/changes, just the kernel options mentioned below.

UPDATE 29 Dec: I just compiled 3.8.0-rc1 from. Probably still problems when suspending, haven't tested yet. Then cat vgaswitchfoo should shown DIS.off. You can turn off the unused adapter with echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch. If it's "IGD" that is connected, then the internal is in use. The one with "+" is connected to the display. You can check /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch for the status of the display adapters. Install GfxCardStatus in OS X and set it to "Integrated Only" To disable nVidia (and thus cut the power consumption to about half when idling): I don't know if the patched kernel is needed, might work "out-of-the-box" if you just use the correct GfxCardStatus version. You must use an older version, this works. I never got it to work because I was using the latest version of GfxCardStatus on OS X. I've been at this for 4 days now, but now I got it figured out :D should work then if you force intel from OS X and reboot OS X gfxStatus switch to integrated only etc initramfs script from Ubuntu guide (this doesn't work because it is run before nouveau module is loaded, which is needed for vgaswitcheroo to show up) I've tried lots of things to get it to work including: The computer doesn't crash, for example sudo reboot still works. Then the screen goes blank, so the intel adapter is probably in use. echo DIGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo I think I'm close, if I do this in a text-mode tty (ctrl-alt-fn-f1): (On raring I didn't know about the vgaswitcheroo yet, so might still try that later). I'm running Xubuntu 12.10 now, tried Ubuntu 12.10. The high power consumption is most likely because Ubuntu is using the discrete nVidia adapter all the time (vs the integrated intel one). The two major prolems are the wireless (still unsolved) and the high power consumption.
