Hi Ernie,

The password to unlock the HamPC user is, simply, "hampc". This is documented at?

And are you saying HamPC runs on your x86 MacBook Pro? This is exciting news as I don't have a MacBook to test against.

Hi Dave

In case it is of any interest to you, I jut installed HamPC? 3.01 to a refurbished Dell Latitude 7480 notebook.

This sports 16GB of DDR4 memory and? came with a 256GB SSD drive and a core i7 CPU.

I booted it from a Lint USB drive and used the recover feature to install the hamPC image

to the internal SSD. Then ran gparted to grow the root partition. Seems to be working well.

Hi John,

All of my HamPC and HamPi users are of interest to me. Thanks for letting me know you got a good installation running on your Dell Latitude... 16GB of RAM and i7... Nice!

I hope it works out well for you.

I'm already working on HamPC 3.1...

Hi Dave

Further testing of the 3.0.1 image on the Latitude 7480 has revealed an issue.

I see no audio devices and get no sound from the OS or any apps.

I tried adding drivers, but it does not seem to understand that audio hardware is present.

The audio works fine with MINT and Windoze 10, so I don't think the hardware is at fault.

At this time, I am burning a DVD to try bare bones Xubuntu 22.04.1 to see if it spots the audio hardware.

I will keep you posted.

Hi John,

Thanks for the report.

I agree, the audio hardware would not seem to be the issue, rather the audio software components. If audio is also not present on Xubuntu 22.04, then I would say Xubuntu is the issue...

I had a DVD with full Ubuntu 22.04.1 already burned, so while I burned Xubuntu DVD, I booted the 7480

off of the full Monte.

Audio worked fine with that. I listened to internet radio on the built-in speakers without issue.

Then, I booted off of Xubuntu and had the same experience. Out-of-the-box XUbuntu sees the 7480 audio

devices and loads the proper drivers.

I suspect either the process that I am using to install hamPC to the internal SSD drive is not working

or something may be missing in the hamPC image.

My process was to boot LINT from a live USB and then use its image writing app to burn the hamPC

image to the internal SSD.

John,

If you are getting audio from Xubuntu 22.04 on the same PC where HamPC does not deliver audio, then there is something missing on HamPC, and I will need to investigate.

I want HamPC and HamPi to be the best they can be for all users. I am but one person, and I have a very limited selection of PCs available, so reports like yours are critical for me to identify and correct deficiencies. Thank you for your report.

Can you please file a bug report at ?

Ernie,

I am beyond excited that you are able to run HamPC on an Intel-based Macbook Pro. You are the first user to tell me you have done so!

Dave, if there is any experimentation that you'd like me to perform on my MacBook, just say the word.? I'd be happy to help any way I can.

My XYL and I lived full time in a 40' RV for two years. Unfortunately, it was too cramped for the things we want to do -- such as play radio and antique computers and do "real" cooking... An RV kitchen is simply too limited for my XYL who is a gourmet chef. So we went back to brick-n-mortar living and got rid of the RV. We may rent an RV in the future or buy a tiny camper for vacations, however!

I gotta' admit that there are several things I DO miss about being on the road.? I miss my real radio shack with my tower and beam, and I miss my shop as I'm a "do it yourselfer" of sorts and a woodworker.? Every time I need a tool, I have to go down to the local Ace Hardware and replace the 23 of it I have in storage up in Washington.? Having said that, there are certainly benefits to this lifestyle.? I don't pay anything for utilities; they're all included in the $5.00 per day parking fee.? Rita and I have seen and experienced so much together being on the road, and the freedom to do what you want when you want is hard to beat.? I'm 79 years old, so I'm not sure how much longer we're going to be able to enjoy this lifestyle, but we're sure going to enjoy ourselves in the mean time.

You did mention being unable to connect to the network. Can you provide any error messages and/or screen captures of error messages to show what is happening/not happening?

No error messages.? When I click on the network icon at the top-right corner of the screen, I can see all the Internet access equipment listed with no problem.? However, when I try to connect to one of them, and I'm asked for the password to enter, the message coming back says something to the effect that my password won't allow access.? I know I'm using the correct password (I designed the network), and I've even tried other access points (cell phone, iPad, Rita's phone), and I get the same response each time.? Not really sure how to proceed.

If this, by any chance, is an easy workaround, your counsel would be appreciated greatly.

73, Ernie

Thanks and 73,

or something may be missing in the hamPC image.

My process was to boot LINT from a live USB and then use its image writing app to burn the hamPC

image to the internal SSD.

Hi John,

Thanks for the report.

I agree, the audio hardware would not seem to be the issue, rather the audio software components. If audio is also not present on Xubuntu 22.04, then I would say Xubuntu is the issue...

Hi Dave

Further testing of the 3.0.1 image on the Latitude 7480 has revealed an issue.

I see no audio devices and get no sound from the OS or any apps.

I tried adding drivers, but it does not seem to understand that audio hardware is present.

The audio works fine with MINT and Windoze 10, so I don't think the hardware is at fault.

At this time, I am burning a DVD to try bare bones Xubuntu 22.04.1 to see if it spots the audio hardware.

I will keep you posted.

Hi John,

All of my HamPC and HamPi users are of interest to me. Thanks for letting me know you got a good installation running on your Dell Latitude... 16GB of RAM and i7... Nice!

I hope it works out well for you.

I'm already working on HamPC 3.1...

Hi Dave

In case it is of any interest to you, I jut installed HamPC? 3.01 to a refurbished Dell Latitude 7480 notebook.

This sports 16GB of DDR4 memory and? came with a 256GB SSD drive and a core i7 CPU.

I booted it from a Lint USB drive and used the recover feature to install the hamPC image

to the internal SSD. Then ran gparted to grow the root partition. Seems to be working well.

Christopher,

Did Ernie say he was using a newer or older MacBook?

Hi Ernie,

The password to unlock the HamPC user is, simply, "hampc". This is documented at?

And are you saying HamPC runs on your x86 MacBook Pro? This is exciting news as I don't have a MacBook to test against.
