The system was initially unbootable because the Mac bootloader expects the EFI partition to be formatted as HFS+, the typical Mac filesystem, while the Ubuntu installer actually formats it as VFAT. You should be able to boot with the command make sure that the efi.signed part is present. and tab again, you won't have to type the whole file name. The GRUB console can do tab completion, so if you just type out the vmlinuz part and hit tab, then hit. Grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz〈.tab here!.〉.efi.signed root=UUID=〈the You'll have to type it manually in the next step. The only way to boot properly was to use the UUID of the drive. Now you want to set this as your root for further commands. You need to keep the hdX part, but go through all the gptY options looking for a /boot/grub directory.
The result from the last step has two parts: (hdX,gptY). Now, find the partition which contains your user's home directory. You may not get exactly the same results as this, but you’ll have some similar options. Instead, press C to bring up the GRUB console. If you’re using the desktop installer, hold the shift key to bring up the GRUB bootloader menu.ĭon’t select any of the entries. If not, try holding the power button to force the power off, and then follow the USB booting instructions to bring it up. If you insert the installer USB now, it should boot. Install Ubuntu using the Erase and use Entire Disk option.įirstly, when you reboot/power on your Mac, you will see the grey screen of the Mac bootloader for about 30s, and then a gently flashing folder with a ? inside.
The trick to booting from USB on Macs is to hold down the option key as soon as you power on the device. Do not use the +mac version since it does not support EFI boot.īoot from the Live USB. There is a better way of single installation of Ubuntu on Macs without rEFInd using Mac's bootloader.Ĭreate a live USB containing Ubuntu. I have even tried to take out USB before the restart and it comes up with a flashing file symbol with a magnifying glass in the middle! Never gives me the option to boot from currently installed Ubuntu.

I have tried doing the install from the trial desktop, doing the install from boot, and doing the install with OEM.Įach time, whenever I restart (as required by installation), it just asks me whether I want to install (black screen with list of boot options). I keep seeing the install programme through. NB 2: I have no idea what any of these things mean :P I do physics (undergraduate), not computer science! NB: This was after an attempted install using LVM(?) Currently using the "Try Ubuntu without installation". Ok, trying to install from USB, boots from that perfectly. Made a massive screw up on dual install, luckily had already transferred files to Ubuntu one. Got a MacBook Pro, 13 inch, 500gb Hard Drive, 4gb memory.
