Hi -- could someone tell me how they're booting to TTY? I keep trying to reboot and hit ALT+F1 or CTRL+ALT+F1 but nothing seems to work. When/what are people doing to get there? I'm really desperate to try this fix -- I need to be able to install some database clients through APT so I can clear do

As I explained above (in the admittedly long thread), I had the same issue with my MBP, but was able (instructions above) to establish what version of the firmware I needed (it was the previous model's, in my case) & flash that to fix the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you

My MBP's a 5,4 -- there wasn't any update for that, either, but earlier in this thread I described how I found out what firmware I needed (it was 5,3) and how I installed that & fixed the issue. On 9 August 2011 19:43, Krzysztof Litka <774...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote: > I recorded video how to e

Rcrook9190 -- my MacBook Pro is a 5,4, which there weren't any firmware updates for, either. But I went to "About This Mac" under the Apple icon and saw that the last firmware update was for the 5,3, so downloaded that & re-flashed with that, and it was fine after that. And yes, this is a very s

FWIW, I've given up. I fixed this issue, but had so many others that I've concluded that this will not work. I couldn't boot from the Mac Natty .iso, the normal 64 bit iso would keep going black on boot, my magic mouse got chewed ... All sorts of errors. Basically, I don't think Macbook Pros and

Just to let you know, I blessed the firmware update for the 5,3 (as that's what "About This Mac" told me I had installed), and my MBP 5,4 works again. About to re-partition and try to install Ubuntu again -- sucker for punishment, or what? ;) Wish me luck! -- You received this bug notification

Ah -- if you go to 'About This Mac', you can see the firmware that was last installed, and it was indeed the one for the 5,3 -- so I reckon I'll be good to go with that. I might leave it for the weekend, though -- I can still boot, even if it's a PITA, and I have to work. I'll report how I get o

Hi -- would like to try the solution pointed at above, but unfortunately there are no firmware upgrades in the list it links to for my model of MBP -- a 5,4. Does anyone know where I can get one, or if one of the other packages (like for 5,3) would be safe for me? Cheers, Doug. -- You receiv

Same thing for me on a MacBook 3,1 running Ibex, with Firefox only so far. As I haven't been able to figure out how to remap the F11 key from a mouse-click yet, the way I solved it was to select View|Fullscreen, then restore from the fullscreen titlebar buttons, then drag the window down & resiz
