Good to know about reboot=pci and reboot -p actually shutting it down.

markdrago · 2015-08-07 14:16:01

Does this have any impact on the ability to go in to standby?

ss1h2a3tw · 2015-08-14 13:21:35

I found the problem that the mac address is same with my friend's macbook pro 13" (12,1)
It's ~~56:00:00:0f:9e:2b~~
maybe there's some bugs in the kernel?
EDIT:
Sorry , It's 00:90:4c:0d:f4:3e

I'm getting random freezes on RC6 (and on RC5 too). Anyone else suffering? Trying to figure out what it is right now.

I am getting lockups on RC6 and RC5. On RC6 I get a repeatable lockup when I try to use packer-io to build a docker. With RC5 I was getting lockups when I tried to use Virtualbox with vagrant. I haven't tried again with vbox on RC6 since I was having so many issues with RC5.

I am glad to hear that I wasn't the only one with the shutdown issue. I was going to file a kernel bug, since I haven't seen any filed on this yet.

justin-8 · 2015-08-19 22:28:42

Did you end up logging that bug for the reboot=pci thing? Otherwise I might do it myself.

Also, is anyone aware of a bug being logged for the wifi? on 4.1.5 it loads instantly, on 4.2.0rc7 it takes ~30 seconds before the device is properly initialized.

I haven't filed the bug yet. I was waiting to see if anyone else had done anything on that front. I will attempt to file a bug for all the power (shutdown, sleep, hibernate) related issues before the end of the day. I'll post a link to said bug here.

justin-8 · 2015-08-21 00:19:45

Didn't see that message until now; I didn't realize replying doesn't auto-subscribe on the Arch forums

I logged a couple bugs last night after trying everything I could for the wifi, suspend and shutdown issues. reboot=pci and reboot=acpi did not work. After looking at reboot.c in the latest kernel one of those two should have worked based on it being a quirk for most previous macbook models, but it doesn't make any difference for me on the 12,4. Please put some comments/extra details on these bugs if possible. More people on the bug might make it more likely to get fixed

Wifi instability: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100201
Wifi regression (takes 60 seconds after boot to appear on 4.2.x, wasn't there in 4.1.5): https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103201
Unable to shutdown: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103211
Unreliable suspend/wake (already existing): https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101681
Thunderbolt adapters not able to be hotplugged: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100191

These are *ALL* of the currently open bugs against the kernel for the new macbook. Let us know if any of you find more. Hopefully we can get all the info needed and some fixes can get in before 4.2.0 final.

I can confirm that the 60-second wifi issue occurs with rc6 & 7 on the 12,1 as well. In addition to that, my grave/tilde key is outputting left and right angle brackets. Does this issue occur on the 11?

justin-8 · 2015-08-23 01:06:45

There's something on the macbook archwiki page about the grave/tilde key issue. Something to do with US ansi and US UTF keyboards being treated the same.

Can you please post your confirmation of the issue on the bugzilla link? Just so the kernel developers are aware that it is multiple people and not just me being shit at setting up my system

whitebrice · 2015-08-23 16:31:41

Sure thing, my confirmation is now posted. Thanks for the info about the tilde key.

saynonomori · 2015-08-23 22:22:07

Also I found my macbook can't find 5g wifi no matter it's on 4.1.5 or 4.2rc, is anyone else experiencing this issue?

justin-8 · 2015-08-24 00:52:32

Yep, the 5GHz wifi thing is known issue on the archwiki page. I'm not sure if there is a bug open for that... I can only find an Ubuntu one (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1487524)

whitebrice: thanks for the info. Are you seeing this with the mid-2015 MBP? I haven't yet had suspend work at all (even on first boot). When I suspend it doesn't immediately wake, the screen goes blank and the CPU is pegged at 100%, essentially converting the MBP in to a space heater.
Disabling XHC1 will prevent bluetooth devices from being able to wake the machine. Has anyone else, with the suspend issue that I described, tried disabling the XHC1 wakeup, or even disabling bluetooth in general? I won't be around my MBP for a few days.
Has anyone else had any successes recently? Anything else that we can be trying to diagnose the suspend issue?

Have you been able to get bluetooth to work? I can't seem to get it working

markdrago · 2015-08-31 12:44:32

@koholint I have not tried to get bluetooth working on my macbook pro.

Suspend works OK on my MacBookPro12,1 using 4.2.0 kernel if I don't have the brcmfmac module loaded (e.g. 'sudo modprobe -r brcmfmac' before suspending)

Just to confirm is this the current Macbook Pro 13"?

I tried posting this question as a seperate thread and got no response so I'm gonna try just asking here since its being discussed. I'm about to pull the trigger on a Macbook Pro either 13" or 15" (preferably the 15"). I really want to make sure I can use it properly under linux -- that means working suspend/resume. I can live without the camera or even thunderbolt. So would people here who have been trying to get the 13" or 15" working on linux mind letting me know what the status is (in particular regarding suspend)? Many thanks!

whitebrice · 2015-09-12 16:42:50

Hi masq. Sorry, I didn't see your thread. I have the 13" and suspend/resume works fine for me, even with brcmfmac loaded. The thunderbolt ethernet adapter works only if I boot with the adapter plugged in. I haven't tried the thunderbolt port for anything else. The keyboard and touchpad work well with the 4.2 kernel. The touchpad will depress for a single click, but it won't depress further for a force click at all (not that my desktop would know what to do with that anyway).

There's an issue with the wireless card where it takes 60 seconds to load after a boot or a resume, 5GHz doesn't work, and every device with it gets assigned the MAC address. It sounds like they've got the 5GHz and MAC address issues almost figured out, but no word yet on the 60 second issue. Here's the kernel's bug report on it:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103201

From what I've been hearing, I think suspend/resume works well for other people with the 13", too. There's a thread specifically for the 13" here:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195270

Please let me know if you have any further questions. I'm really happy with the 13".

masq · 2015-09-12 16:51:27

Thanks whitebrice I really appreciate the detailed reply. How's the battery life btw (compared to OS X)?

I was leaning pretty strongly towards the 15" but if it looks like the 13" works much better than I might change my mind (I've owned an air for 4 years and kinda want/need a larger more powerful machine). If anyone has the current 15" and can tell me how its working I would appreciate that (I'd get the model without the discrete GPU -- the cheapest one basically).

whitebrice · 2015-09-12 17:23:03

At first I got about 10 hours of light usage, but the battery seems to have settled around 8 on a full charge. I never used OS X, so I can't say how that compares.

masq · 2015-09-14 12:10:09

Sorry for one more question but since I'm not hearing back from anyone with a 15" (and I'm pretty sure I want to get one) do you know if the suspend issues on both devices were similar? One thing that put me off was the open bug report listed above which looked pretty hopeless:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101681

But I then realized that this was for the 13" model (12,4) which you say is now working. So perhaps the 15" also works now?

justin-8 · 2015-09-14 15:11:49

@masq - Mine is the 15", and I filed half those bugzilla bugs. They both use the new chipsets. If you can get a late-2014 model instead they work flawlessly without issues (except the camera), and have almost identical specs, just no force-touch really. I wish I didn't have to upgrade, but I changed jobs and got a new macbook

Avoid the discrete GPU unless you need it. Intel drivers on Linux are great. nvidia less-so.

masq · 2015-09-14 18:28:12

Thanks justin-8. Unfortunately, a bit like you, I have no choice -- I'm getting mine through my work so I can't get an old model (they have very restrictive buying rules). So its either the current 13" or 15". I was undecided between the 13" vs 15" due to the size vs performance considerations but I'm kinda tired of 13" (I have an air now) and want a proper workhorse so I really want the 15". Unfortunately I really need suspend as well so I'm deadlocked. I'd rather not give up and get the 13" so I'm trying to evaluate the likelyhood of the 15" working anytime soon (I can live with OS X for a few months). Any idea if there's likely to be progress on suspend for the 15" or does it look unsolvable? Is there a kernel bug report (the one in my previous post is for the 12,1 which is the 13")? How do you manage to use yours without suspend? Thanks for all the help.

ChiefWizard · 2015-09-22 16:42:06

I just got myself the latest 13" Macbook Pro w/ retina and I have everything working except 5GHz wifi (2.4GHz works fine), bluetooth, and the FaceTime HD webcam. I still have the wifi bug where i have a ~30 second wait on boot for wifi to be initialised, I'm working on fixing that (if possible).

I'm running kernel 4.3.0-rc1-mainline. I built it myself from source but did not modify it in any way. If anyone has anything they would like me to post about my system don't hesitate to ask.

Edit: To clarify, by everything I mean sleep, keyboard, keyboard backlight, screen backlight... you name it.
