Linux Haswell performance tests and more information in the coming daysįor those curious about more hardware specifics for the Apple MacBook Air MD711LL/A Is still being investigated along with the battery life, which can't yet compete with Apple's OS X operating system. Related to the Linux kernel, there's also some GPU hanging issues and potential thermal problems and USB issues still being investigated. The wireless doesn't work 'out of the box' and other small but usual Apple laptop shortcomings with Linux. Linux benchmarks.Īnyhow, that's the short scoop on running (Ubuntu) Linux on the new MacBookĪir it's possible, but it's messy. There will also be plenty of other OS X vs. The results thoughįrom that battery testing between OS X and Linux will be saved for its own PhoronixĪrticle in the coming days and once being able to run the updated kernel on theĪir. The battery life when using Ubuntu Linux on the Haswell-based MacBook Air isĪlso not comparable to that of running OS X - it's much worse. In a variety of USB 2.0/3.0 flash drives and USB enclosures, none of the storageĭevices are working with the two USB (3.0) ports found on the new Apple laptop.Īttempting to mount the drives just yields bogus information about bad super-blocksĪnd other information, when they will mount just fine on other Ubuntu Linux non-Apple Ubuntu Linux with the Linux 3.9 kernel from the 11-inch MacBook Air. It appears that at least some USB devices aren't working under There is also one other issue that is potentially important and still being The kernel dmesg was implying the CPU core package temperatures were exceeding their threshold and that as a result the CPU clock was being throttled. When looking at the GPU hanging issue though, it appears there may also be thermal problems.

Aside from the Hangcheck timer elapsed, another kernel error related to the Intel DRM driver was an Intel error about an Unknown unclaimed register before writing to 20a8. The Linux 3.10 kernel may potentially also resolve the GPU hanging issues once the kernel will boot. Moment in first getting Mesa 9.2 and Linux 3.10+ up and running on the hardwareįor better performance - as many Phoronix articles have been illustrating in In regards to the benchmarking,t I'm more interested at the Since installing Ubuntu 13.10, on some boots I still run into GPU hanging issuesįor the HD Graphics 5000 on the Core i5 4250U. At least, to a bit of a surprise, there have yet Ubuntu 13.10 is that suspend-and-resume doesn't work and the brightness control

It gives more flexibility to experiment code or commands that we want to try without having to risk damaging our system.Some other smaller issues that were experienced for the new MacBook Air with In conclusion, docker containers really helps us to have some form of environment that we can quickly launch and destroy. If something doesn’t work out, we can destroy this container and restart from step 3 to launch a new container.
