Tutorial: how to install ubuntu on new alu macs.

Okay, to install the most popular distro. of linux, ubuntu, you must first go to the site and download a live CD (this is the type of installer i will be using on this tutorial). Now after the download is done, go to disk utilities and burn the img to a CD-R. Put the CD somewhere safe for now. Now go to the bootcamp assistant app and make a partition, at least 20 gigs should do. now after that is done, dont click install windows now, click on install later. Okay, now for installing...
1. put the cd in the computer.
2. restart and hold down the option key at startup (before apple logo)
3. select windows (it says windows because that is the only approved OS to run with macOS)
4. select language and then select install ubuntu.
5. follow the simple instructions until it gets to the part where you need to partition your drive.
6. select manually partition (the last option)
7. delete the 20Gig FAT32 partition (should be near bottom)
8. now with the free space, create a 3000mb swap area partition.
9. after that, make a 1000mb ext3 (the first option) and then under mount options, make it a /home partition.
10. for the final step, make the rest of the free space a ext3 but under the mount options, this time just select the "/". now your done, click install and fill out your personal info and you should be good.
11. have it restart and when it's shutting down, it should spit out the disk.
12. once it is restarting, hold down the option key again and insert the disk once the macOS HD icon comes up. the disk should appear next to it and be labeled windows.
13. select the cd and when the menu for the cd comes up again, go to the last option where it says "boot up from first drive" or something like that (sorry, im typing this off of memory).
14. you will need to update everything, but besides that, you should be golden. as far as i know, you have to insert the cd every time, i dont know how to get it to work with out the cd, sorry. (please inform me if someone knows how)
hope this helped!

  • How to install Ubuntu

    Can someone here please help me and tell me how to install ubuntu 12.04 to my new u400.
    I have tried using a USB and a disk but all that happens when I restart the computer is that it opens a purple coloured screen and does nothing else.
    I am not too computer literate so simple help would be appreciated please
    Rev. Mark

    Hi Greydog_01, welcome to the forum,
    On which port are you connecting the USB drive to your U400; on a USB 3.0 or 2.0 port? If you are attaching it to an USB 3.0 port please try again using an USB 2.0 port and let us know what happens.
    I'm definitely not a Linux expert, so if my idea doesn't help please wait for someone else to jump in.

  • How to install Deskjet 3055a, new router but unsupported operating system on Macbook

    Hi,<br><br>Please go easy with me, I really know very little about all this !<br>We have a Deskjet 3055A printer which has been linked wirelessly to my iPad and a MacBook without a problem until now.<br>We have installed a new router. I am thinking that we have to amend our network in some way ?<br>I have tried to run the HP cd on the MacBook to amend it, but all I get is the message as follows...<br>"Unsupported operating system. The installer is not compatible with the version of the operating system on your computer. It is compatible only with 10.6 and below." <br>The MacBook is running OS X version 10.9.5<br>Any help greatly appreciated - thank you ! ( Please keep it simple !! )<br>We<br><br>

    Welcome to the community @Teekayk 
    I understand you are trying to install your Deskjet 3055A on your Mac, running Mavericks. The installation CD may be compatible up to 10.6, and that could be why you are seeing the error message.
    This link should help you. It will show you how to install the printer on your Mac. There is no full driver and software available for the Deskjet 3055A on Mavericks, which basically means you will need to review your other options to scan on your Mac through Apple Updates, which is all included in the guide.

  • Full backup ( ~ 1 TB ) using external HD - speed USB vs. Firewire vs. eSATA  - what are relative speeds - how to install eSATA on mid-2010 Mac Pro desktop ( dual hex-core processors)_

        Hi All,
         I'm trying to resume regular scheduled Full backup ( ~ 1 TB ) of drives using external HD (to allow off-site redundant backup storage) .
         What are relative speeds of USB vs. Firewire vs. eSATA ?
         I suspect eSATA connection may be considerably faster … how to install eSATA on mid-2010 Mac Pro desktop ( dual hex-core processors)?
          ( The quicker and easier backup protocol is, the more likely one is to use it to backup on a routine repetitive basis.)
    Thanks

    Adding a USB 3.0+eSATA PCIe card, which The hatter mentions, is the best solution that I've found. See http://eshop.macsales.com/item/CalDigit/FASTA6GU3/. The card is not cheap, but the USB 3.0 works flawlessly (which can't be assumed; ask me how I know) and the eSATA connection allows booting from the connected drive. Grant Bennet-Alder's point about HD speed is important to consider; in addition, the size of the individual files being backed up and where on the backup disk they're going will affect overall transfer speed. For example, using the USB 3.0 connection on that CalDigit card going to a Toshiba 3TB external, the transfer rate for a big file (say a virtual machine file) from an internal SSD boot drive was about 145 MB/sec while a bunch of little files might drop to 30 MB/sec and both rates decrease as an inner partition on the external is used. All told, a nearly 700 GB backup took under 1.5 hours. Using a HD as the source added almost an extra hour, though a WD external was used for that. Using a WD green drive plugged into this http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/FWU3ES2HDK/ with an eSATA connection took about 2.5 hours also, but that was bootable whereas the USB 3.0 connection is not.
    Another point to consider is that USB 3.0 is ubiquitous on PC's now so there's lots of price competition for externals; not so much for eSATA externals.

    Can Logic 7 pro install on my new I Mac 10.5.4?

    If you have Pro 7 then you can buy the upgrade to 8 - which is about a third of the cost of buying 8 itself... you will need the XS key when you first install 8 - you may even have to have 7 installed on your system, though I'm not sure.

  • How to install "numbers" downloaded on my mac to my iPad?

    Hi,
    how to install "numbers" downloaded on my mac to my iPad?
    Thank you

    Your Mac and the iPad use different operating systems. The Numbers version you have on the Mac can only be installed on Macs, so you have to purchase the Numbers version for the iPad, which you will be able to install on an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. Go to the App Store on the iPad and purchase Numbers

  • How to install "Turbo C" programme on mac...

    How to install "Turbo C" programme on mac... Need an urgent reply..

    I suppose I'll ask the question that no one else has yet...why do you want to install Turbo C on your Mac?  More specifically, what is the ultimate task you are trying to achieve?
    Turbo C hasn't been in development since the 1990s; it's successor, Turbo C++, is similarly out of development; it was a 16-bit Windows program, so it never ran on any Apple OS...let alone OS X.
    Embarcadaro, the company which bought the "Turbo" line from Borland, has a modern succesor to those compilers, C++Builder (although it isn't free).  But Turbo C is a museum piece only notable for its historical value...unless you're writing programs for 20 year old computers.
