This repository contains the build scripts for compiling isos using the mbp-manjaro-kernel. With these iso files you can run Manjaro on 2018+ Macbook models with the T2 Chip.
Flash your iso to a USB Stick, If you want a easy way to do this. Use [Balena Etcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/). For a more command line way of doing this, use dd.
* Whilst you can install this over WiFi, it would make it alot easier to use an Adapter. If you would like to use the WiFi to set up Manjaro then refer to the "In order to get WiFi working" Section after you have booted Manjaro
1. Partition your drive in MacOS ready for a linux install. You can either use Disk Utility or use Bootcamp, important thing is, is that you have two partitions (Your MacOS partition and your new linux one) (It isn't recommended that you totally delete MacOS as firmware updates are applied through it).
5. Select the yellow EFI System using the arrow keys and hit enter.
5. When the USB menu first appears, use your arrows to go to the blank option below Boot and type in the following (Keep in mind you cannot use backspace here):
```
efi=noruntime
```
6. Hit enter scroll to boot and boot Manjaro.
7. After booting into Manjaro, set the system time using the Manjaro settings
8. Open the installer and proceed normally until you hit the partitioning stage
9. Click Manual Partitioning
10. Click on /dev/nvme0n1p1 then click edit at the bottom of the install window theen change the Change the Mount Point: /boot, after that click okay.
11. Usually, the MacOS partition is mounted to /dev/nvme0n1p2, ignore this partition
13. Delete your Linux partition on /dev/nvme0n1p3.
14. Create a 51200 MiB partition with ext4 as the file system. Change the mount point to / and click okay.
15. Use the remaining disk space to create an ext4 file system. Change the mount point to /home
16. Click Next, on the next screen a warning will appear about EFI System Partition Configuration. Just ignore it and click okay.
17. Continue the rest of the setup as normal. Once the installer has finished do not restart the system.
18. Open a terminal, and type:
```
sudo fdisk -l.
```
The root password is 'manjaro'
19. Scroll up to the disk named /dev/nvme0n1. Note down the names of the 50G Linux partition and the 300M EFI SYSTEM partition.
In my case these were mounted at /dev/nvme0n1p1 (EFI System) and /dev/nvme0n1p3 (Linux Filesystem).
20. Copy this command into a terminal, substitute the two fields in { } with your EFI System and Linux Filesystem names
```
sudo mount {Linux Filesystem} /mnt; sudo mount {EFI System} /mnt/boot
```
21. Run this command, take note of the UUID
```
cat /mnt/etc/fstab | grep "/ "
```
22. Open a new terminal, and run this command
```
manjaro-chroot /mnt
```
23. Run this command to install systemd-boot
```
bootctl --path=/boot --no-variables install
```
24. and then this one to mask systemd from not touching a EFI var (Causes a kernel panic)
```
systemctl mask systemd-boot-system-token.service
```
25. Open the file /boot/loader/entries/manjaro.conf in your favorite text editor (If you are a beginner use the command below)
```
nano /boot/loader/entries/manjaro.conf
```
26. Paste in the block of text below (Note for beginners to paste into a terminal its usually control + shift + v)
```
title Manjaro Linux
linux /vmlinuz-linux56-mbp
initrd /intel-ucode.img
initrd /initramfs-linux56-mbp.img
options root="UUID={change_this_value}" rw
```
27. Change back to your other terminal with the values, And copy the UUID from the other terminal, replacing {change_this_value} (Including the brackets).
28. Save the file (Use ctrl+x if you copied my command from above, press the y button and then press enter).
Small Footnote to the install setup. At this stage I forgot to compile the ISO images with the images to include the touchbar & audio package, this will be fixed upon next release. In the meantime run this on your new system to get your touchbar and audio working:
2. There are three files to note down. A `.trx` (for me: `C-4364__s-B2/kauai.trx`), a `.clmb` (for me: `C-4364__s-B2/kauai-X3.clmb` and a `.txt` (for me: `C-4364__s-B2/P-kauai-X3_M-HRPN_V-u__m-7.5.txt`
3. Look for the corrisponding files in this repository: https://packages.aunali1.com/apple/wifi-fw/18G2022/ (Thank you Aunali1)
4. Boot back into linux and place the files in the following locations:
5. Copy the trx to `/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4364-pcie.bin` (e.g. `sudo cp kauai.trx /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4364-pcie.bin`)
6. The clmb to `/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4364-pcie.clm_blob` (e.g. `sudo cp kauai-X3.clmb /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4364-pcie.clm_blob`)
7. The txt to something like `/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4364-pcie.Apple Inc.-MacBookPro15,1.txt`. You will need to replace `15,1` with your model number. (e.g. `sudo cp P-kauai-X3_M-HRPN_V-u__m-7.5.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4364-pcie.Apple Inc.-MacBookPro15,1.txt`).

The way I recommend getting WiFi to work in linux is using iwd instead of wpa_supplicant. Below is how you would configure iwd.
```
sudo pacman -S iwd
systemctl stop wpa_supplicant
systemctl mask wpa_supplicant
sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
```
paste in this at the end:
```
[device]
wifi.backend=iwd
```
Run:
```
systemctl enable iwd
```
then reboot.
#### Footnote - WiFi using wpa_supplicant
In the next release this will not be required, but in order to have the wifi work after reboot run the following commands (NOTE: This is a bit tempremental as wpa_supplicant really doesn't work that well with the chips in the MacBooks):
