Aha, This is what I dream for long time to get Linux on MacBookPro. This is what I have done Start with DVD Ubuntu 14.04 I found a loud noise of fan, so I did     sudo apt-get install lm-sensors fancontrol     sudo pwmconfig (don't know what this command did, but I notice nothing)     sudo sensors-detect (last step, did allow it to auto load) I found that I can't adjust brightness so I did     edit /etc/rc.local         put this             echo '1' > /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness             echo '5' > /sys/class/backlight/apple_backlight/brightness     for 2 steps above, I'm not sure if they work or not but I did more         sudo nvidia-xconfig ( got invalid xorg.conf )     then I did edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf     In "Device" section, add         Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"     I did reboot, then it's work like a charm
