That is to say, the applications I'm interested in are likely already available via Ubuntu's Software Center/App Store, or provided by third parties in a format that is usable by the Software Center. I'm familiar enough with Ubuntu Linux and it's software ecosystem to feel confident that if there is some software I need, it's likely available for Ubuntu with minimal effort. The primary reason I chose Ubuntu is convenience. You're just going to read about it and decide whether you're interested in doing something similar. You're going to put linux on it and disable the faulty AMD graphics card with extreme prejudice. You are going to blow OS X away, and replace it with something else. You've tried a few home remedies before with only temprorary success so now, now you're ready for the nuclear option. You're going to attempt the impossible, and bring it back from near certain death. Some have chosen to sue Apple because of this and, justified though they may be, you have opted for another path. The battery barely holds a charge and it has fallen victim to a cruel fate 1 which has rendered the display all but useless. You have a 2011 Macbook Pro - the Macbook Pro 8,2 as it will come to be known to you - and it is dying. I understand you might be asking 'Why would I do such a thing!?' So imagine this scenario: The design is for normal use quite quite, but if the load rise then the fan starts to make a lot of noise quite fast, which can occur when backup is running or if you scan a large media library.What I'll be showing you today is how to rescue your 2011 Macbook Pro by putting Linux on it. I have added a 60 seconds delay in the service startup file.

The detection of the devices provided by the chipset is bugged, so the detection routine has a 60 seconds timeout builtin, which means your sound devices might not be able until the 60 seconds timeout has been reached. My MacMini also has an Intel i915 chipset, but its Apple branded, and that can cause a few problems. My MacMini has a BroadCom WIFI card and that requires extra drivers in Debian, which is not hard to install, so more a little heads to remember it. Installing Ubuntu or Debian is recommended and then maybe use a supervised docker setup. I have now played around with a Mac Mini 2012 and it can be used for HA, but there is a few things you need to know.įirst you might have problems with a hass.io installation, since the drivers for the Mac Mini are not included in that build.
