It seems the update to Lion breaks AFP connections to Linux-based NAS boxes. This affects those backing up to a NAS-served TimeMachine volume ! Apparently, all that's needed for Lion to be able to connect to a netatalk daemon on Linux is enabling DHX2 UAM in afpd. Full details in...

I've been researching the performance issues on AFP and SMB some of you were reporting... Well, it seems you are not alone, and this is not a hackintosh nor a 0.0.67 related issue... Several Apple users have been experiencing this. I found some pointers which might be of interest to you (some...

tonymacx86 & Macman, I noticed you've been introducing subtle Look-and-Feel changes to the forum lately... Today I found the "Resources" pull-down menu ! Very nice ! :headbang: KUDOS Lnx2Mac

Being a long-time Debian Linux user, I rely on Open-Source software on a daily basis. I currently use MacPorts (both CLI and via Porticus), but tried the Fink Project too in the past. What do you use ? Please vote and comment.

Let the DSDT hunt begin :lol: BTW, at least on the P55M-UD4, the clean DSDT is identical to the F10 one... So you can safely use the F10 DSDT from the database ! Post your Vanilla DSDTs in viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4463 Good Luck, Lnx2Mac

Updated to BIOS versions of August 2010... With the release of new Gigabyte BIOS versions at the end of June 2010 (F10 for P55M-UD4, F11 for the P55M-UD2, etc.), I found some issues with it. Some members reported sleep issues, so I caved in to test it. After updating to F10, I observed USB...

I read some posts about having some adverse effects with IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector... Can anyone confirm this ? Anyway, in my quest for "vanillaness" (I rather have one-less-kext, even if it's just a plist, with no custom driver behind), I came up with this method. Two alternatives are...

As most Unix-based file-systems, HFS+ also updates the 'access time' upon reading files (don't confuse this with change/modification time). Just browsing a directory will cause these accesses (e.g for previewing the file), leading to lots of unnecessary disk writes... And think of Time...

HOWTO move /Users to a separate partition Last edits on: Jun 9, 2010 Why ? To have a separate partition with users' home directories, as this makes it easier to backup and manage your installation... And if you even want to reinstall your OS, your data will remain untouched. This might be...

Tony, I just noticed Firefox hogging the CPU of my MBP [email protected]+4GB RAM... 20% CPU when posting a reply... At the same time I noticed the smilies really crawl... Closed Firefox, opened just images/smilies/beachball.gif in a fresh window, and it even got to 26% CPU... :wtf: Tried on Safari...

I'm planning moving my /Users to a separate partition... To me (being a Unix guy), the most natural way to do it would be add it to fstab. However, I found /etc/fstab.hd with these contents: IGNORE THIS FILE. This file does nothing, contains no useful data, and might go away in future...

I came across these these GPLed "SMART Monitoring" programs: - SMARTReporter - smartmontools + GSmartControl (installable from FinkProject) Anybody using these ?

Yippie... Gonna download and hack the DSDT later on...

I'm trying to monitor my CPU temps... Installed both iStat Menus (+ the Intel sensors), and Temperature Monitor... Tried also smcfancontrol, but it crashes immediately (I guess it doesn't like fakesmc...) However, I'm getting different readings :o :wtf: Ambient: 27C Idle: istat reads...
