Introduction

This is about documenting getting Linux running on the late 2016 and mid 2017 MPB's; the focus is mostly on the MacBookPro13,3 and MacBookPro14,3 (15inch models), but I try to make it relevant and provide information for MacBookPro13,1, MacBookPro13,2, MacBookPro14,1, and MacBookPro14,2 (13inch models) too. I'm currently using Fedora 27, but most the things should be valid for other recent distros even if the details differ. The kernel version is 4.14.x (after latest update).

The state of linux on the MBP (with particular focus on MacBookPro13,2) is also being tracked on https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux . And for Ubuntu users there are a couple tutorials (here and here) focused on that distro and the MacBook.

Note: For those who have followed these instructions ealier, and in particular for those who have had problems with the custom DSDT, modifying the DSDT is not necessary anymore - se

How to mount a qcow2 disk image

This is a quick guide to mounting a qcow2 disk images on your host server. This is useful to reset passwords, edit files, or recover something without the virtual machine running.

Step 1 - Enable NBD on the Host

modprobe nbd max_part=8

	#/bin/bash -xe

	systemctl stop pvestatd.service
	systemctl stop pvedaemon.service
	systemctl stop pve-cluster.service
	systemctl stop corosync
	systemctl stop pve-cluster

	sqlite3 /var/lib/pve-cluster/config.db "delete from tree where name = 'corosync.conf';"

	今天发现 GitHub 有两步验证的功能，于是打算开启，可是悲剧的是，到了填写手机号的时候，发现没有 China 的选项。

	于是我尝试了下修改网页源代码，添加了 `<option value="+86">China +86</option>` 再填手机号，居然就收到短信了。

	后来有点不放心，还是给 https://github.com/contact 发了个反馈，然后收到回信说由于某些国家的短信发送成功率无法保证，所以没有开启两步验证功能。

	不过在我这段时间的使用过程中，还是挺稳定的，每次都能收到短信。

	大家如果也需要开启两步验证，最好把 Recover code 也记下来吧，避免以后短信收不到。

	Use folowing steps to repackage dep package:

	1: Extract deb package
	# dpkg-deb -x <package.deb> <dir>

	2: Extract control-information from a package
	# dpkg-deb -e <package.deb> <dir/DEBIAN>

	3. After completed to make changes to the package, repack the deb
	# dpkg-deb -b <dir> <new-package.deb>
