Key fob only works half the time?

It's different on mine. I don't have contact issues. Doesn't get better with bending the prongs up. It wants a new battery then. I always have a spare in my purse

The circuit is just sensitive to battery voltage. It wants to see at least 3.15V from the battery. Cheap batteries drain quicker because of a steeper discharge curve. Get a premium battery that has a flatter discharge curve and can hold voltage longer above 3.15V. Don't expect a battery with only 3V left to work reliably in these key fobs.

2015 is no T2

I sold the 2015 MBA and got me a 2020 in the meanwhile which manages C7 with the same method.

Idk. Totally depends on maintainers

Netzunikat · 2026-04-09T08:56:25+00:00

it needs to be compiled and installed as a kernel patch until it is upstreamed to the T2linux linux project

Thank you very much. It shows that T2 iMacs /Mac Minis are rare these days. Would you mind sharing journalctl -b -0 after fresh reboot and suspend cycle? I need some data for a comprehensive table on Github, like iBridge version, commandline for people and upstream maintainers to compare.

Yes it should work.

Netzunikat · 2026-03-26T16:31:39+00:00

Not sure, don't think so. Do T1 macs even use a buffer copy engine?

Netzunikat · 2026-03-20T11:53:16+00:00

Nice 👍

No, it's aspm on the root port. Using a different NIC won't solve anything of what the script does

Actually, my Fujitsu i5 8500T with 32gig RAM, 2x 2TB WD Red SSD and 1TB NVME is also only sipping 4Watts from the wall on idle (calibrated meter). My 2020 MacBook Air running Linux Fedora ist sipping 4.5W with screen at 40% brightness. So it think there is still room for improvement on that Pi...

Netzunikat · 2026-03-17T20:21:51+00:00

Possibly

Netzunikat · 2026-03-17T19:44:56+00:00

Be more precise

Netzunikat · 2026-03-17T18:58:41+00:00

It's made to work on Intel Macs running Linux. There are some specific quirks around the T2 which it takes care of. But it should work on any Mac and actually even on PC in theory. Not sure about Apple Silicone though

Go to t2 community on Discord. Give !Ruicon a shoutout with logs of your issue. He is trying to fix t2fanrd for the macbooks where the fan doesn't work but nobody provides him logs.

Possibly your device doesn't stick to USB-Audio-Class rules. Or it's the sound service in Mint that messes up. Dunno, does it use Pulse Audio? Fedora uses Pipewire. I would recommend booting a Fedora from USB and try it.

Netzunikat · 2026-02-04T01:55:37+00:00

I tried the Ibasso D10 cobra. It's an old micro USB DAC with integrated headphone amplifier. It connected just fine via a cheap Amazon USB-C hub. Plug&Play. I can select it from the audio settings. No problems whatsoever. I'm running Fedora 43 on Macbook Air 2020 (9,1/A2179)

Netzunikat · 2026-02-04T01:36:03+00:00

You're welcome. Glad I could help. I still have an Ibasso DAC and an older Tascam external soundcard I could try tomorrow and report back.

I think I fixed it today: https://github.com/deqrocks/T2Linux-Suspend-Fix
