MacBook Air 13" mid 2011 (MacBookAir 4,2)
|
|
|
|
|

-----------------------------------------
|

|
In this section, I explain how to install Qubes on a MacBook Air 13" mid 2011
|
|
|
|
|
|
(MacBookAir 4,2).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This model has the following features:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Dual Intel i7-2677M 1.80 Ghz CPU (2 dual cores)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Intel HD Graphics 3000
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 4Gb RAM
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 256Gb SDD
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Broadcom BCM43224 802.11 a/b/g/n wifi and Bluetooth adapter
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Intel DSL2310 Thunderbolt controller
|
|
|
|
|
|
* It has 1 DVI/Thunderbolt display port, 2 USB2.0 ports, a Magsafe power
|
|
|
|
|
|
adapter, a standard 3.5mm audio jack and SD reader.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I first tried to install Qubes using the UEFI boot, but it failed. Not wanting
|
|
|
|
|
|
to waste too much time, I quickly opted for the legacy BIOS install.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 1. Boot from Mac OS X (or Internet Recovery Image with `CMD`+`R` during bootup)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run in a terminal [[1]]:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
# diskutil list
|
|
|
|
|
|
(find your usb device)
|
|
|
|
|
|
# bless –device /dev/diskX –legacy –setBoot –nextonly # bless the disk not the partition
|
|
|
|
|
|
# reboot
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Insert your Qubes 3.2 USB flash drive. The ISOLINUX boot screen should come up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install Qubes normally.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you try to boot Qubes now, it will freeze while "setting up networking." You
|
|
|
|
|
|
need to put the Broadcom wireless device into PCI passtrough [[2],[3]]. Or, as
|
|
|
|
|
|
an alternative [remove it from your Mac][bluetooth-replacement] and Qubes will
|
|
|
|
|
|
boot up smoothly. If you choose to remove the card, jump to step 3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 2. Boot from Mac OS X again
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run in a terminal:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
# diskutil list
|
|
|
|
|
|
(find your usb device)
|
|
|
|
|
|
# bless –device /dev/diskX –legacy –setBoot –nextonly # bless the disk not the partition
|
|
|
|
|
|
# reboot
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Insert your Qubes 3.2 USB flash drive. The ISOLINUX boot screen should come up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Select Troubleshooting and Boot the Rescue image. Enter your disk password when
|
|
|
|
|
|
prompted. Select continue and after mounting the HD filesystem and launching a
|
|
|
|
|
|
shell, `chroot` as instructed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then find your Bluetooth card:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
# lspci
|
|
|
|
|
|
..
|
|
|
|
|
|
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01)
|
|
|
|
|
|
…
|
|
|
|
|
|
# qvm-pci -a sys-net 02:00.0 # this assigns the device to sys-net VM
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then create `/etc/systemd/system/qubes-pre-netvm.service` with:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Unit]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description=Netvm fix for Broadcom
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before=qubes-netvm.service
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Service]
|
|
|
|
|
|
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'echo 02:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/permissive'
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type=oneshot
|
|
|
|
|
|
RemainAfterExit=yes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Install]
|
|
|
|
|
|
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl enable qubes-pre-netvm.service
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And that's it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 3. After reboot, boot Mac OS X again
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run in a terminal:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
# diskutil list
|
|
|
|
|
|
(find the HD device where you installed Qubes)
|
|
|
|
|
|
# bless –device /dev/diskX –legacy –setBoot # bless the disk not the partition
|
|
|
|
|
|
# reboot
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* System booted and running smoothly
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Youtube video: OK (including full screen after configuration)
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
with tails Linux, more tests are required)
|
|
|
|
|
