Re: Macbook Pro 2015 Retina 15"

ChiefWizard, would you mind posting the output of sudo lshw? Curious how it might differ from my mid-2015 15", MacBookPro11,4.

Re: Macbook Pro 2015 Retina 15"

Quick update on the wifi. If you install the 4.2.0-4 kernel in testing repo, you will no longer get the 60 second delay on boot!

No other new issues appear to be fixed, but I've only been using it for 12 hours. For some reason the bug is still present on the 4.3.0rc mainline kernel.

Re: Macbook Pro 2015 Retina 15"

More news for new Macbook users: bluetooth will be fixed soon. There are more details here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-blue … 64111.html

If you don't want to write the patch yourself, here it is as a diff: http://hastebin.com/asodehotis.vala

I can confirm it works on 4.2-4, and if you're too lazy to build it yourself, here is a link to a prebuilt kernel for the macbook: https://repo.dray.be/linux-macbook-4.2- … pkg.tar.xz

Or you can just add the whole repo:

pacman -U <(curl https://repo.dray.be/dray-repo-latest)

then

pacman -Ss linux-macbook

It'll install as linux-macbook and not overwrite the vanilla kernel, so update your bootloader as usual.

WARNING: This will break compatibility with all other bluetooth adapters; but if you have one built in to your laptop that is working... that should be enough for a temporary fix for now.

Re: Macbook Pro 2015 Retina 15"

Any improvement on hibernate or suspend with the 11,4 or 11,5 (15")?

Have you tried this?
If it does not work, what exactly is your problem?

Re: Macbook Pro 2015 Retina 15"

I don't yet own the machine so I haven't tried that.  I've been waiting to pull the trigger on the 15" because all reports seem to indicate that suspend and hibernate are still broken under linux (and those are essential for me -- I don't want to buy it and be forced to use OS X).  It seems that the problems and fixes that applied for the 2014 model (which I think was what your thread references) don't work for the 2015 15" models (11,4 and 11,5) but it would be great if anyone can tell me otherwise.  (p.s. just to avoid the obvious retort I can't buy a used 2014 model -- the only options I have are the current 13" or 15" model and I'm holding out in the hopes that the 15" will be fixed soon else i'll have to get the 13").

Re: Macbook Pro 2015 Retina 15"

The 13" seems to have a lot more success. I have the 15", and sleep/hibernate hasn't really improved for me yet. But fixes around other things on the kernel are coming along. Bluetooth has a preliminary fix (or at least knowledge of why it was broken), and thunderbolt hot swapping is fixed, and the wifi adapter delay on boot is fixed now. Hopefully more to come soon!

FYI, updated the linux-macbook kernel in my repo to 4.2.1 and added a patch for hotplugging thunderbolt adapters if anyone likes that kind of thing.

Re: Macbook Pro 2015 Retina 15"

If it helps at all, I am trying to keep an up-to-date list of issues for recent macbook pro retinas. You can check it out here:

https://teamsammut.com/blog/2015/09/app … cking.html

I have an 11,5 and run Gentoo, but not of this (so far) looks distro-specific.

Re: Macbook Pro 2015 Retina 15"

@tsammut: From my tests so far with the thunderbolt patch applied, there are still bugs with apple thunderbolt displays, it appears to only work for things like the thunerbolt ethernet adapters.

Not sure on Gentoo, but 4.2.1 in the Arch testing repos has fixed the 60 second timeout on boot for wifi too

Hey, thank you. Is there a new bug for display adapters?

I wonder if this issue was Arch-only? I never saw it on Gentoo...

Re: Macbook Pro 2015 Retina 15"

I don't think there is. I only have a thunderbolt display for the next month or two, and that's only while I'm at work, so I can't really do any initial testing for a bug report.

I switched back to the standard kernel in the repos (4.2.1-1) with no problems so far.

Re: Macbook Pro 2015 Retina 15"

Hi Guys,
hoping for a bit of help: installed Arch on a mid 15" 2015 MacBookPro 11,4. With today's new kernel I have working Synaptics trackpad as well. But there is a problem with the graphics driver: Firefox e.g. when scrolling there is a very disturbing rendering issue, as if the screen was curved, a horizontal wave is running through the screen - all this seems to be happening an inch bellow the cursor, moving the cursor up/down moves the wave.

I tested this with FVWM (which I'm using for 15 years, would hate to change), and awesome - both have the issue. Installed Gnome just to check: it seems better actually, apparently does something differently.

Anyone had a similar problem? Any idea how I could fix it? A driver or config change? I may have to return the macbook, it's so disturbing.

Maybe related that transparent urxvt also flicker when jumping between desktops.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Szabolcs

Re: Macbook Pro 2015 Retina 15"

It sounds like you need to enable v-sync. Have you checked it's on in whatever compositor you're using? Gnome takes care of this automatically (as do most full desktop environments)

Thanks, I'm not sure why it wouldn't be on by default tbh, but following up on this, I found a working solution, installing compton and adding this line to my .xinitrc:

compton --backend glx --paint-on-overlay --vsync opengl-swc --glx-no-stencil

Not sure I fully understand what just happened, would appreciate if you/someone could opine this is a right approach.

Thanks again for the pointer!

Cheers,
Szabolcs

Re: Macbook Pro 2015 Retina 15"

That sounds right to me, I was on my phone and couldn't remember the syntax off the top of my head. I had to do something similar on i3. Most window managers are pretty barebones, that's their appeal I guess. But full desktop environments like Gnome/KDE/etc do this automatically, but you don't have as many choices for your compositor and such.

Re: Macbook Pro 2015 Retina 15"

Is there any update to the suspend issue? Everything else I can live with but I need to move around a lot during the day due to my job, having it hang and turn into a portable heater whenever I shut the id really isn't helpful sad

Was offered this or a 13" dell at work.. should have gone with the dell but wanted the bigger screen!

Re: Macbook Pro 2015 Retina 15"

5GHz wifi networks will be fixed by an upstream linux-firmware patch eventually. For now, you can put these 2 files in /usr/lib/firmware/brcm:

@fooblahblah, when you say all fixed up, do you just mean that you can now connect to 5GHz networks, or that those files fix the suspend/shutdown issue too?

Re: Macbook Pro 2015 Retina 15"

I'm a Gentoo user but your forums are much more active regarding MBP issues!
I have a 2015 13" and found that the combination of kernel 4.2.3 and this new firmware fixes my suspend problems.  Don't have 5GHz so can't comment.
I was compiling brcmfmac as a module so I could unload it before suspend,   but with this combination I don't seem to have to do that .
It only works though if i compile the firmware rather than leaving it for userspace loading.

Main issue I'm having is the cpu fan doesn't seem to come on & it gets unhappy when compiling things - I have to downclock it to stop scary error messages in the syslog.  Anyone got any hints for why that could be?
