problems using ubuntu on a macbook in true efi mode

[Delan Azabani]

I've installed ubuntu on a macbook 6,1 with true EFI booting, this time not with rEFIt. Interestingly, some hardware problems have arisen. The first is that the first ten function keys work (with Fn of course) but the F11 and F12 keys invoke middle mouse click and right mouse click for reasons I can't seem to understand. This is, of course, with Fn pressed (the non-Fn functions, lower and raise sound volume respectively, work fine).

The second problem I've noticed is that only one core on the Core 2 Duo CPU seems to be detected. This is evident in gnome-system-monitor and coretemp, but not lshw, which reports both cores correctly.

This is not an xorg or nvidia problem. I can't unmark a package, so I just chose linux for now.

I still blaming xorg (xserver-xorg-input-evdev).

[Delan Azabani (azabani)]

Okay, I've changed the package back to xorg. An interesting thing is, these problems occur only on native EFI booting. Using Ubuntu through rEFIt doesn't have these problems. Any ideas why?

[Delan Azabani (azabani)]

Why does this bugbot keep changing it to nvidia?

[Delan Azabani (azabani)]

Key functions are definitely not nvidia. Why does bugbot keep flipping the package to nvidia?

[bugbot (bugbot)]

Hey Delan,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)

[bugbot (bugbot)]

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
