10.5.8 and The End of a (short) Era

Published on August 10, 2009 in mac. 3 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , .

OSX 10.5.8 recently came out so I figured I would do the update on my Lenovo S10 netbook. Just did the usual software update. First reboot I had no wifi. Did a quick reboot and wifi was back! The only other issue was with sleep. It stopped working because the fix for it from the usual install method gets overwritten. Just had to do the quick Info.plist change, refresh the kexts and all was well.

In related news I sold the Lenovo S10. My mention on the blog got a bit of attention and I received a few emails. Shipped off this morning with all the goods to its new owner. I really enjoyed the whole project and what I learned from it. Plus, I had a very low cost mac for a while that served me quite well. Sounds like it’s going to serve as a road warrior now for email, web, etc now. It will also be used as a media container\offloader for photos and video. Hope it serves well!

    …And I’m writing this post from the S10 formerly owned by Kitch. Listening to a bit of Ocote Soul Sounds on iTunes. All is well in the world of hackbook.

    Well, sorry to lose you from the S10 community. You’re the one who got me started in this, so I’m honored to be linked in your earlier story. :) We’ll miss you . . . but you just might be back!

    So did you (or anyone) ever get the mic and/or cam working on the S10/OSX?

    I did the hack over a year ago and put away my S10 when I got my MBP 13″. Today for fun I pulled out, put the OSX HD back in and booted and forgot how well it work…until I tried skype and remembered the double whammy of mic/vid…

    google’n the topic right now and not finding anyone who got it going…
