Ubuntu / Apple :: UEFI Notebook, Installed 11.04 Alpha 3, Can't Boot?
Mar 7, 2011Ok so I have a UEFI compatible notebook. I managed to take the natty-desktop-amd64 (the latest Alpha, 3 in this case), throw it on a SD card, and started the grub2 bootloader via UEFI.
Ubuntu installed just fine, the only problem is, there is no selection in my UEFI bootloader for Ubuntu. I can access my newly installed Ubuntu partition only via the "Try Ubuntu Before Installing" option on my SD card. So is there anyway I could create a boot entry?

Mar 20, 2010I followed the reefit manual instructions to install. I tried using the installer package and it seemed to work fine, only when I reboot there is no option which operating system I want to use, and when I go back into OSX reefit isn't there anymore. I also tried the manual install putting it into the system folder on OSX and I get the same problem, it's gone again after I reboot. (Im using the option button to boot into Linux right now, and when I do my Linux partition is called "Windows", I don't know if that matters either.)
Current GPT partition table:

Ubuntu / Apple :: 10.04 Installed On Mac G4 - Monitor Not Detected
Jul 7, 2010I have installed (successfully) Ubuntu 10.04 ppc on my powerpc g4 mac. 400mhz, 1g ram. Its the blue model. It works great, but it does not detect my monitor, and I can not change the settings past 800 X 600. I am using a Dell 19 inch monitor. Analog input (not DVI yet) resolution 12080 x 1024 60hz. I believe I need to change the info in the xconfig file (but I don't know to what or how), and I may not be saying that correctly.

Mar 20, 2011Installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my new-to-me Powerbook 1.67Ghz. PowerPC, as a platform, is most definitely *not* dead. Installation went normal. I installed with network connected to Ethernet rather than Wireless. Installed Wireless firmware. Then I had wireless.
Backlighting didnt work until I added 'i2c-dev' to /etc/modules. Restart, and backlight works, although its a little too sensitive. Hardware acceleration wasn't enabled, so I had to add this to a file called Radeon-kms.conf in /etc/modprobe.d/
"radeon options modeset=0"
Reboot. Then I had hardware acceleration and Compiz.
Install/run sensors and sensors-detect. Run as root. Detected HD temp, CPU, GPU temps and fan speed. Make sure this is in /etc/modules: therm_adt746x. Thats the thermal control stuffs. I then installed openjdk and netbeans and eclipse. OpenJDK is slow, but I feel that is due to OpenJDK itself, and not PowerPC.
This gave me a working CPU ondemand throttling:
apt-get install cpufrequtils
Installing this gave me a working battery-applet that reported a percentage:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:iaz/battery-status && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install battery-status
/usr/lib/battery-status/battery-status --indicator
I get really good battery life, and everything that shipped on this laptop actually works as designed. Forever PowerPC, Forever Ubuntu

May 6, 2010I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04.
I'd like to boot using Windows 7 boot manager (I don't dare to put grub in the MBR).
I've used EasyBCD to add a new entry for Ubuntu.
[url]
Then I added Grub to /dev/sda3
And I get this:
[url]
The problem is that it always shows (hd0,0) instead of (hd0,2). I must change it every time I boot. I've tried to install grub again but I always get the same.
And another problem. After that Grub menu it deesn't load Linux but it loads a second grub menu [url] that loads Linux properly.
I guess I've installed two Grubs.
How can I remove the first Grub menu (Grub4dos) and make Windows 7 load the second (the good one)? or how can I remove the second one and change (hd0,0) to (hd0,2) in the second?

Jan 29, 2010I am trying to put ubuntu an old imac with osx that a former customer gave me. I am not extremely well versed in Apple products but have been doing research intoy current problem. I have tried just putting in the ubuntu shipit disc I have, along with downloading and burning 9.10 text based and have not been able to get it to install. I have tried holding 'c' when rebooting, holding 'option' while rebooting it only gives me the choice of booting from osx), and holding 'control, option, apple, delete' as well to no avail. I then tried downloading Virtualbox and mounting the dmg and found out that my imac is not letting me mount any dmg's at all. Any guidance? Can I take out the harddrive and hook it as a slave to my pc and somehow install ubuntu that way and put it back in the imac? All I want is for the imac to be useful again as I was trying to make it into a stand alone dvd player.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Can't Boot 10.04 On Firewire Hd
Jul 26, 2010I have successfully installed ubuntu on a seagate goflex hd and can get it to boot with using a usb cable and refit on my mac. But I cannot get it to boot with a firewire cable and I have not seen any instructions on how to do this with an intel imac, only a ppc.
The mac does recognize the external hard drive when I hold the option key when I turn on the mac, but I get a "no bootable device found" error once I select it...same thing happens with refit and firewire cable. Any ideas on how to get this to work? I am ok with running it via usb cable, but would like the firewire option.
Ubuntu / Apple :: 10.04 Hangs On Boot?
Oct 22, 2010I have ubuntu 10.04 installed on my MacBookPro7,1 (dual boot with reffit). Everything works fine. Today I closed my laptop and open it later again and saw a black screen with a blinking cursor. I was not able to send any keys to it. So I powered down (off button) it.
After Booting It I saw some kernel message, no errors, and then it stops and everything is freezed. Again no keystrokes can be send. The last kernel message is something about scsi. I tried to remove the "recordfail" in the grub2 menu but it doesn't help.
Ubuntu / Apple :: 10.04 Won't Boot Anymore On G5?
Feb 23, 201110.04 was working quite well on my Imac G5 with Yaboot for few weeks.
I tried to boot macOSX which failed and returned to Ubuntu which was stioll booting OK as I did not touch the linux part of the yaboot conf.
But Now It won't boot anymore :
- It seems to boot OK till X launching.
- then I get a Black Screen and None of My PC Keyboard shortcuts can get to another tty.
My Next try is to get a PPC LIveCD and try to see if Yaboot.conf is OK.
Ubuntu / Apple :: Can't Boot Back Into OSX?
Mar 21, 2011I installed Lucid Lynx on my Powermac G5 but mistakenly forgot to uncheck the yaboot boot loader. As a result, my LCD's do not received a video signal from the system until after the boot loader had loaded linux.There seems to be no way to boot back into OS X. I would like to replace the Yaboot boot loader with the original Apple boot loader without having to reinstall the system software and just use the <option> key at startup to select Linux when I need it.

Jun 6, 2011I cannot get ubunto 10.04 to boot on my 1.2 ghz 256 mb ram powerpc ibook g4. I downloaded/ burned the live disc and it worked just fine in my powerpc imac g5 (both g4, g5 were supported I believed)It gets to the screen where I select my image to boot, and that works by it says after failing to load for several minutes: "144.9818211 b43-phy0 ERROR: firmware file "b43-openucode.fw" not found you must go to URL... to download to correct firmware for this driver version".I've gone to the website and found a 43 driver and am not sure how to update/ install it...
the hard drive (30 gb) is shot, kaput. currently no os, though I would like to have a firewire drive with tiger or leopard, and potentially a linux partition if even possible. So here are my biggest questions: can any version of ubunto boot on my ibook from a firewire drive? Can i create a dvd that boots in my ibook that not only has the operating system but also some lightweight application on the dvd so that I can run linux just from the dvd as a toy?I'm not replacing the internal hard drive, it's too costly and not worth it when I have several other working macs running snow leopard already.
Ubuntu / Apple :: Mac Won't Boot Lion Or It
Aug 2, 2011I tried installing ubunutu on my macbook pro (7,1 I believe, with lion 7.2 installed) today and ended with result of a nonbooting computer, the ubuntu partition won't boot either! I'll try to explain all the steps.
1. I first installed rEFit.
2. Next I booted from a burned copy of the latest release of ubuntu on a dvd.
3. I created a partition of 5120 mb from the freespace on my harddrive, I made sure to leave the mac partition intact.
4. I finished the install, it said to ejct disc and hit enter, I did, the computer froze. I ended up having to hold the power button.
5. The computer just showed a white screen. It wouldn't boot to the rEFit screen or anything. It just resulted in falling back to lions recovery partion. Disc utility couln't verify ubuntu's or lion's partitions.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Cannot Boot From Disk Or Disc?
Jan 27, 2010I've installed Kubuntu (9.10 I think) on my Mac Mini 3.1 . So I have an OS X partition and an Kubuntu partition.I got the standard no bootable device message.I cannot boot into OS X (I dont want to get into OSX anyway) or Kubuntu.I booted a rEFIt disc and synced the GPT and partition table.Then I booted onto a Kubuntu live cd to re-install grub into the Kubuntu partition. I re-installed it and tried rebooting. I got the grub menu, but must have missed a setting because it was the grub prompty. So I reboot to try to find the values to put into the prompt (kernel location, initrd location). But when I try to boot into the Kubuntu live cd it freezes just after ISOLINUX appears (only the top line for ISOLINUX shows up).
I tried going back into rEFIt, but it tells me the GPT and MBR are synced and it won't do anything.If I load rEFIt and select linux, it loads to saying no bootable device -- insert boot disk....If I load rEFIt and select the partition tool it tells me they are already synced, if I select Linux after doing that it will freeze with the tux icon in the middle of the screen.It is obvious I need to do the next step which is install Grub, but I can't boot off any live cds! I have tried Kubuntu, System rescue cd, gparted live cd, os x install cd, an osx corialis boot cd I made, an older Kubuntu CD. They all freeze just after ISO Linux starts up or the OS X ones give me a do not enter sign.
