Goal
I intend to keep Mac OS X on the internal flash drive and run a minimal ubuntu install off a flash drive.
Target
My target device is a Macbook Air 6.2 (sudo dmidecode | grep Name)
The root disk will be installed on a Samsung Ultra Fit 64GB USB3.0 Flash Drive
Base Install
I used https://github.com/hartwork/image-bootstrap from another linux machine to write the initial OS to the flash drive.
Window System
I am using dwm compiled from source (suckless.org).
Troubleshooting (Solved)
No Sound
After installing ALSA I still had no sound, but I was able to fix it by appending the following to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
options snd-hda-intel model=pch position_fix=1
After a reboot, I had sound.
Troubleshooting (Unsolved)
- No horizontal scrolling. see
- Keyboard repeat rate too slow within dwm
- Get 3rd mouse button so I can stop invoking
xclip -odirectly
