Re: Macbook Pro Late 2013 Retina

Hi all,

I recently upgraded to kernel 4.17.2-1.
I use to have "acpi_osi=" kernel parameter following wiki page. And up to 4.17 kernel it was effective to reduce power consumption.
With the upgrade to kernel 4.17 the acpi power got broken and I was not able to get battery recognized by the system.
Deleting "acpi_osi=" kernel parameter fixes the issue but the power consumption goes up.
Anybody had the same problem? If so did anybody found a solution?
Thanks
Ciao
Gianluca

Hi Gianluca!
yes I have the exact same problem. I am running Arch on a Macbookair and had the acpi_osi Parameter. Battery was around 10-11h.

After the recent update I coulndt suspend anymore, had no Battery status and my Battery was around 5-7h without acpi_osi.

I hope someone can explain or fix this issue.

regards

Re: Macbook Pro Late 2013 Retina

On my macbook air (6.2), there are problems with displaying the battery charge
The laptop correctly shows the charge only when cmd "acpi_OSI =" or "acpi_OSI = Linux"
In other cases, my laptop is charged up to 79-84% (this is the residual capacity of the battery). On new kernels, the problem has returned again, and this point, I see many do not work.
I can offer to roll back to linux-lts, there is a 4.14.56 kernel, and it works. Or look for older kernels >4.16.13

Re: Macbook Pro Late 2013 Retina

Hello I was wondering if anyone could help me please.
When I am using the combo mic/headphone jack the laptop is still using the internal laptop mic and not the headphone mic.
How do I use the headphone mic instead?

Re: Macbook Pro Late 2013 Retina

is it possible to boot into tty without nomodeset? if yes can you be so kind to share your kernel parameters, /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, and /etc/modprobe.d?

i can only boot into tty with nomodeset

fresh install on macbook pro 11,2 mid-2014, 5.8.5-arch1-1

Re: Macbook Pro Late 2013 Retina

I have MBP late 2013, when I try to boot into archlinux from my USB to start the installation, it freezes on the following screen

it just freezes, I waited and clicked some keys, nothing, googling around made me know that `bcma-pci-bridge` is the wi-fi chip, but I couldn't find anyone facing the same problem, I even tried a different USB stick, same issue

Edit: this guy seems to have a similar issue but with ubuntu

Re: Macbook Pro Late 2013 Retina

Anyone had success running the proprietary NVIDIA drivers recently? I cannot get past the black screen and it’s been really frustrating

EDIT:
Late edit. I got it working long time ago
