Click on “Advanced options”, go to the “GRUB location” tab.
#UBUNTU FOR MAC PRO INSTALL#
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair & boot-repair.sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair.Follow these steps adapted from the Ubuntu UEFI page: To get the 2880x1800 native resolution, and the external display ports working you’ll need to convert GRUB to EFI mode. Sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source Wifi doesn’t work out of the box, so from another computer (or your OSX install) download the driver and its dependencies (dkms, libc6-dev, linux-libc-dev), then copy them all to a flash drive and boot back into Ubuntu. Just press spacebar and it should reboot. Also, at the end of the installer, after the dialog asking you to restart, you’ll probably get a black screen. Note that the wifi won’t work (we’ll fix this in the next step), so don’t try to install updates during the installation process, unless you have a separate usb wifi dongle or ethernet. Make sure you download the raring ringtail daily ISO though, for step 3. Just follow steps 1 through 3 in my first guide, to get rEFIt installed and prepare to install Ubuntu.

Next, I ran sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade -y to make sure I had all the updates to my laptop. This will clear the black screen and error when booting. I found out that Mac’s EFI wants a signed OS. After installation, I noticed a weird error about MOK and EFI. I managed to install Ubuntu, and everything went smoothly. I burned Ubuntu 20.04.2 on a DVD (From ) and booted up the mac by inserting the DVD in the drive and holding down the “Option” key while booting up and I select the first EFI Partition to boot from by pressing the Up arrow after selecting it. So, the installation was pretty straight forward. (I’m actually writing this blog from the laptop running Ubuntu.) This proved to be harder than I expected, but if you keep reading, I’ll tell you how I finally did it.

I was going to update it to Mac OS 11, but found out that it didn’t support it, so I figured I would try to revive life to it by installing Ubuntu on it.
