Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) Knot 2 Mac Mini Bluetooth Issue

Oh no! My poor lil Mac Mini is unable to test the new Edgy Eft version because the Mac BT keyboard is not working in the livecd. I sent the error report to Ubuntu using the device driver wizard (pretty cool!) however was obviously unable to comment about what happened as I could not type anything in the box.

Otherwise, this version is quite swank. I was able to mouse around the web, play with FSpot and poke at Gnome a bit as well.

I’ll see if I can’t grab a USB keyboard and boot into OpenFirmware in order to load the CD (holding C typically does not work with other non-Apple keyboards, by the way).

UPDATE:

I was able to install with no problems (have a look at the new blandname Ubuntu Edgy Eft Knot 2 article here )

Still not able to get the Bluetooth running, but I have been in contact with the helpful Ubuntu team and will keep you all posted!

    Try changing /etc/apt/sources.list so it says edgy instead of dapper, run apt-get update and then apt-get -u dist-upgrade

    Though you should only do that if you know apt, dpkg and don’t mind editing config files. You’ll also loose a bunch of packages.

    Right… lil tough to do without a keyboard. However I have got it to install using a using keyboard, and what you recommend seems to be for a different problem maybe?
