Preparation
- Resize your main OS X partition using the disk utility to free up space.
- Install the refind boot manager from OS X using the
blessutility.
Notes
Generation 2,1 macbooks have a 32-bit EFI. You'll need to install a 32-bit refind, 32-bit grub, 32-bit kernel, and 32-bit userspace.
Installation
Pop in a live CD or other installation media. From there, install grub2-efi to the EFI partition at EFI/grub. It will be the VFAT/FAT32 partition with a relatively low partition number. Be careful not to install grub to the MBR. Also install your kernel and userspace as usual, using the free space you made with the OS X partition manager.
Example grub.cfg
menuentry "linux latest" {
root=(hd0,gpt3)
fakebios
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 i915.modeset=1 video=efifb
initrd /initrd.img
}
Example fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # file system mount point type options dump pass /dev/sda3 / ext4 defaults 0 1 /dev/sda1 /boot/efi vfat ro,nosuid,nodev 0 2 /dev/sda4 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user,exec 0 0
Post-Installation
- For right-click, run
synclient TapButton2=3. - For headphone output,
sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixerand unmute the second speaker (Ubuntu bug).
