Apple MacBook Troubleshooting
|
||||
=============================
|
||||
|
||||
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)
|
||||
* Trackpad: OK
|
||||
* Audio control: OK
|
||||
* Brightness control: OK
|
||||
* Keyboard light control:OK
|
||||
* SD card access: OK (tested at dom0)
|
||||
* Lid-close suspend: OK
|
||||
* Wifi: +10%-20% ICMP packet loss when comparing with OSX (have similar rates
|
||||
with tails Linux, more tests are required)
