Running Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS on an iMac 27 Retina

This document was written for a late 2012 Retina 27" iMac that I moved to linux due to a hardware instability with Mac OS.

Mouse

Mousewheel

https://dev.to/bbavouzet/ubuntu-20-04-mouse-scroll-wheel-speed-536o

Install imwheel

sudo apt install imwheel

Install the mousewheel.sh file

Then

chmod +x mousewheel.sh
./mousewheel.sh

Finally add imwheel in ubuntu startup application.

Here is another take on Magic Mouse setup on Linux.

Sound

in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Add 'options snd-hda-intel model=imac27_122' to the end of the file.

reboot or

sudo alsa force-reload

then run the mixer

alsamixer

Unmute the Headphone jack and set the sound levels.

Remap Keyboar for Mac Keyboard

Install Tweak Tool (This is the name of the app in your app list.)

sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool

Launch Tweak Tool

  1. First swap the dashboard hotkey to the right side and then under "Additional Layout Options" you can use "Ctrl position/ Swap Left Win with Left Ctrl" to good effect.

Super

  1. You can use "Ctrl position/ Swap Left Win with Left Ctrl" to good effect.

Layout

Mapping Super (Command/Windows) key to clt.

For Ubuntu Bungie I had to remap the super key.

Binding Super to Ctrl What about binding your left Windows/Logo/Super key to act as another Ctrl key?

You can achieve that with the following xmodmap commands:

remove mod4 = Super_L
keysym Super_L = Control_L
add Control = Control_L

Assuming you saved the above lines as super_as_ctrl.xmodmap you can test out the effect by executing

xmodmap super_as_ctrl.xmodmap

To make the change permanent (surviving re-login/reboot) rename the file to .Xmodmap in your home folder.
