I know the below writen information is not 100% related to the orignal bug but still very relevant
..to give people hope on enjoying Ubuntu 10.04 on their MacBookPro (5,2) I write this in the case the final 10.04 release CD would still not work. Then there still would be a path to 10.04 via upgrading a fully working 9.10 On Karmic 9.10, I'm a happy camper now since, * Wifi via restricted STA drivers works well * Videocard Nvidia Driver 185.x works well, albeit restricted *<:o) * Magic Mouse Basic works, needs tweaking, had no time yet. See http://github.com/entrope/linux-magicmouse * Bluetooth thus also works... ;) * Sound works well, I've adjusted the Ubuntu wiki instructions * iSight camera, a quick test showed picture, for testing I instaled cheese (sudo apt-get install cheese) The related page for all of this Karmic goodness is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-1_5-2/Karmic BTW this helpful guy with great SEO links for EFI boot issues http://www.rickycampbell.com/booting-windows-linux-and-osx-on-your-mac-without-using-grublilo-to-boot-windows/ Now I will see if we can upgrade to Lucid Lynx 10.04 Beta 1, a bold move... So far, the original bug remains...well... bugging us. Cannot install Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 Beta 1 direct booted from CD on latest Modern MAC Powerbook Pro 5,2 :-( IMHO indeed critical. -- MacBook Pro 5,2 fails to boot into 10.04 beta1 desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546393 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
