Fedora ::install 14 On A Mid-2010 13inch Macbook Pro?

Nov 30, 2010

What i think is that maybe it is possible, but however some of the hardware features may not be supported by Fedora unless the Kernel can be patched such as back-light, iSight etc etc.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Getting A MacBook Air 11" Late 2010?

Dec 25, 2010

I'm getting one of those an 11" MacBook Air with 128gb SSD. 64gb might be too little for dual booting. Of course, I'll run Ubuntu on it. I'm choosing this hardware, because of the great form factor, aesthetics, trackpad, and ability to run OS X (as a UX designer, I want to do competitive analysis of the OS).It will be my first Mac. Any advice? Got tips on what I should start learning, getting used to, etc?

General ::Live USB That Works With Snow Leopard Macbook Pro From 2010 ?

Jan 24, 2011

I was searching for a long time for a Linux Live USB that I can boot my MacBook Pro from. Is there such a distro I can install on Snow Leopard or Windows 7? Update: I've found this:

"isohybrid" CD images (..) are special in that as well as the normal CD-based ISO9660 filesystem they also contain a valid-looking DOS-style partition table. Thus, if you simply copy one of these images raw to a USB stick a normal PC BIOS will boot the image directly. (...)Finally: I'd like to add support into xorriso for creating the nasty HFS hybrid images that are needed for booting Macs. The code that does this in cdrkit is probably some of the worst that I've ever worked with, and,I'd like to get away from it. If only Apple hadn't stupidly built their proprietary platform around this and had used open standards instead

Ubuntu was good but i really wanted Mandriva. I have made a working dvd. I know it works because it will install correctly on a virtual machine on parallels desktop.

My problem is, i run the Mandriva dvd, it works and shows me the four options, "boot from hard disc, install ect" i choose install, and then it comes up with "No CDROM device found" i say ok, then it says "which driva should i try to gain MEDIA access?"

installing Fedora 11 on a MacBook.

It is mostly aimed at the 3,1/4,1 white series but a lot of the details are relevant to the newer 5,1 and aluminum macbooks too. Pretty much everything works just nicely with the tweaks described.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 Will Not Boot Without CD On MacBook Pro

Aug 3, 2010

One my macbook pro I have previously had 11.1 and Kubuntu Lucid working (mostly) fine*. I tried 11.3 - the install went fine but now the machine will not boot from the HD. The only way I can get it to boot is via the CD. The best diagnosis I can make is that the installation screwed up the partition table such that I cannot make refit gptsync. Simple put the GPT/EFI partition table (which is required to boot the mac) is out of sync with the MBR partition table (required by grub to boot suse 11.3). I have tried various disk tools from OSX, refit and linux (parted) and none makes any difference (parted is ignorant of the problem, OSX disk tool doesn't know about linux partitions, bootcamp won't touch the disk and refit says "analysis inconclusive, won't touch this disk"). It looks like I am screwed and will have to reformat the disk before reverting to lucid.

11.1 - no screen dimming, no sound, no wireless, no fn keys, poor trackpad, screen ok under kde 3
Lucid - mostly everything worked except for an infuriating "krandr" type problem when using an external screen for presentation (krandr etc were turned off but the screen kept trying to resize during movies). sound ok, screen dimming ok, fn keys ok, trackpad ok, wireless ok. Transition
kernel too old for comedi
11.3 - no screen dimming, no fn keys, no wireless and won't boot, runs hot, short battery life.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.4 On A Macbook Pro - Failed

Mar 14, 2011

i'm trying to install OpenSUSE 11.4 on a Macbook Pro 5,1 (later 2008). From boot menu i have chosen all the possible options, but i always get the same result.

I began choosing 1024x768 and standard kernel and i get a black screen. Reboot. I chose VESA and kernel with security adjust. Black screen, then reboot. Finally, i chose VESA and kernel with no-apic and the installation wizard loaded. I configured all and OpenSUSE began to install, but when it was finishing, the screen turned black.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Can't Install 11.04 On Macbook Air 3,2

Jul 25, 2011

The wiki says there is a way to install from usb but I can't get it to work on my Macbook Air 3,2 (the Nov 2010 revision, not the one from last week).

My goal is to dual-boot OS X and Ubuntu, but I can't get the Ubuntu installer to boot. I've tried a lot of variations on the instructions I've found, so I get the feeling I'm probably missing something fundamental.

I installed refit and used BootCamp to partition the drive. I downloaded desktop/alternate and i386/amd64 isos. I tried to follow the instructions to use unetbootin on OS X to install the ISOs to my USB drive, but neither drive that I connect appears in the "Drive:" selector when on OS X. I used usb-creator-gtk and unetbootin on an Unbuntu machine to try each of the four ISOs.

When I try to boot the Air from the USB drive, I got a few different types of failure:

gpt, single fat partition, unetbootin -> alternate amd64
result: "Non-system disk" "Press any key to reboot"
mbr, single fat, unetbootin -> alternate amd64
result: black screen, fan runs at 100% after a minute or two

[Code].....

I tried dd'ing a disk image to my new partition as described here and here with the desktop amd64 and i386 images, got a few different errors - once syslinux complaining "Error: No configuration file found" when the drive I dd'd from wasn't properly unmounted before bringing it to the Air, once I chose the drive in refit, refit displayed the single logo, and it never booted, and once I got an error I didn't copy down about needing a boot floppy.

Has anyone successfully booted Ubuntu from USB key on the Air? Exactly how did you prepare which image?

Ubuntu / Apple :: Install On Macbook Pro Without DVD Drive?

Apr 11, 2010

I have a Macbook Pro with a b0rked DVD drive, and want to install Ubuntu on it.

I have followed the instructions here: [URL]

But when rebooting and holding ALT, I don't get the option of booting from USB.

Possibly related, when I view the USB drive in Disk Utility it's marked as "Bootable: no" :

I've tried this with two different USB sticks.

I've also burned a Ubuntu install disk from the original ISO, loaded it into another mac and started that mac in Target Disk Mode. Then I connected them with Firewire, rebooted the mac *without* the disc drive, held ALT and chose the shared disc as the boot device. Though weirdly it was named "Windows". Sadly, I then got a message on a black background saying it was not a bootable device.

Ubuntu / Apple :: How To Install Lucid On MacBook Pro 5.3

Apr 30, 2010

I have created a partition through Boot Camp, downloaded the 64 bit Intel installer for PC and Mac, verified the checksum, burned a CD from its image (on the second try), but when I try to boot up from that CD, rEFIt refuses because of a "legacy" problem. I assumed it would be a live CD, from which I could do the installation; am I wrong, is there another way to install from it? My MacBook Pro 5,3 is the one exception to having its own installation page.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Macbook Pro 8,2 Unable To Install

Jul 7, 2011

I recently got a new MBP 8,2 and am trying to install Ubuntu (to a separate partition, but I don't think that matters as I am unable to get that far).I have installed rEFIt and can successfully get to the installation menu from any CD I've tried so far.However, after trying to install Ubuntu, it is unable to find any disk in the CD/DVD drive.This doesn't make much sense, the DVD is, in fact, in the drive and it must have read from the drive to display the menu.I have tried a number of different options with the alternative installs to no avail.I have also tried different distributions:11.04 AMD-64 alternate, 11.04 AMD-64 live, 11.04 AMD-64 alternate+mac, and 10.04 AMD-64 live.I have also tried to make a USB install but was unable to get it to display as a bootable device

Anyway, I had a macbook before I got my new main computer, and have been wondering if I can install linux on my macbook to test out other distros without potentially endangering my main computer (out of complete idiocy on my part, of course). Is this possible? Is there any specific "guide" out to do this?
