Mac Ubuntu Dual Boot Dual Boot Mac + Linux Really Easy Installing Ubuntu alongside OS X (Dual Boot, no rEFIt) Edit by techflat Idea taken from http://www.isriya.com/node/1804/ubuntu-on-macbook-air-~ Note: This worked under OS X Leopard, it could work on Tiger but I haven't tried that. The site from where the idea was taken talked about installing Ubuntu on a MacBook Air but it made sense and the installation seemed very easy and straight forward. After trying the suggestion, it worked fine. The installation was made on a system with OS X Leopard already installed and up to date. Because of the nature of the installation, I think it could work on all MacBook models and on all MacBook Pro models with Leopard installed. So, here are the steps: 1. Boot into OS X Leopard 2. Use BootCamp to partition the drive, the size depends on your needs but 10GB should be fine, 9 for the ext3 partition and 1 for the swap one. (There is a manual on how to use BootCamp to install Windows, the steps are very similar except the Windows install part, so if you need to know how to partition the drive with BootCamp, this is a good resource: http:// manuals.info.apple.com/en/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup.pdf) 3. Restart the computer with Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop CD inserted (64-bit or 32-bit version), just when the computer starts keep pressed the C key (that's for booting from the CD). Stop pressing the key when the screen goes black. ~-(Strange behavior I got: Holding the key for too long made the keyboard and mousepad unresponsive) 4. Boot Into the live CD, Click on 'Install' icon on the desktop. Select the appropriate language, select 'Keyboard Layout' as 'Macintosh', select 'Manual' partitioning, then 'Forward'. 5. BootCamp will have created '/dev/sda3' which should be roughly the size of the partition you created. Write down the exact size of the partition and the size of the free space made by BootCamp because using this space left for your partitions "could harm" MacBook's partition table. Select 'dev/sda3' and delete it by clicking 'Delete Partition'. This should now be 'free space'. (Note: IF someone can verify that using the free space left by BootCamp doesn't matter, please edit this part) 6. Select the 'free space' and click 'New Partition'. Set the size of the partition in wich Ubuntu will be installed leaving the free space for the swap partition if needed plus the free space that you wrote down before. Set the formatting to occur at the end. Format it as an 'ext3' type partition and set the 'Mount Point' to '/'. Click OK. (Note: After finishing partitioning, the free space left by BootCamp should be the same) 7. Select the free space and click 'New Partition'. Format it as a 'swap' type partition and select the size needed. Set the formatting to occur at the end. Click OK. (Note: After finishing partitioning, the free space left by BootCamp should be the same) 8. Now click 'Forward'. 9. Set your user settings and click 'Forward'. Click 'OK', and 'Install'. 10. When installation is complete, reboot. Important: When using this method, Ubuntu will not be selected by default on boot. Nor it will be selectable by default; that means that if you don't press anything, the computer will boot on OS X Leopard. To be able to select wich system to use at boot, just after the system starts, keep pressed the Option (Alt) key, then, two images will appear, representing both OS' installed; select the one you need to use. The image called Windows is Ubuntu, a small price for an easy install. For more information on installing specific components, take a look at the menu on top of the page. Installing Ubuntu alongside OS X (Dual Boot) Note: This is for a MacBook Pro with OS X already installed 1. Install the rEFIt Boot Menu from (http://refit.sf.net). 2. Use BootCamp to partition the drive (if using Tiger, don't bother burning a Windows boot CD; if using Leopard, it won't ask you). 3. Restart the computer with Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop CD inserted (64-bit or 32-bit version). rEFIT should recognize the CD and give you option to "boot Linux from CD". Scroll to this option using the down arrow or click on it with your mouse. 4. Boot Into the live CD, Click on 'Install' icon on the desktop. Select the appropriate language, select 'Keyboard Layout' as 'Macintosh', select 'Manual' partitioning, then 'Forward'. 5. BootCamp will have created '/dev/sda3' which should be roughly the size of the partition you created. Select 'dev/sda3' and delete it by clicking 'Delete Partition'. This should now be 'free space'. 6. Select the 'free space' and click 'New Partition'. Set the size to approximately 1 GB less than the total amount of free space. Format it as an 'ext3' type partition and set the 'Mount Point' to '/'. Set the formatting to occur at the beginning. Click OK. 7. This should leave approximately 1 GB of free space. Select this free space and click 'New Partition'. Format it as a 'swap' type partition. Set the formatting to occur at the beginning. Click OK. 8. Now click 'Forward'. This will give some scary warnings about FAT 32 not being partitioned correctly. Click 'Ignore' and proceed with the install. After being prompted for a user and computer name, check to make sure that the formatting is occurring at partitions #3 and #4 and click 'Install'. 9. Set your user settings and click 'Forward'. Before installing, click on 'Advanced' and change '(hd0)' to '(hd0,3)' . Click 'OK', and 'Install'. 10. When installation is complete, reboot into Ubuntu Linux OS. Go to 'System' > 'Administration' > 'Software Sources'. In the 'Third-Party Software' tab, check them. In the 'Updates' tab, check 'Pre-releases Updates' and 'Unsupported Updates'. Click 'Close' and 'Reload'. 11. Go to 'System' > 'Administration' > 'Update Manager' hit 'Check', 'Install Updates' and restart. 12. Read the following Video section for choosing which video driver to use. To adjust Fans speed in OS X install: http://homepage.mac.com/ holtmann/eidac/software/smcfancontrol2/index.html To access Linux partition in OS X see: http://fuz2y.blogspot.com/ 2008/04/how-to-mount-ext3-partition-on-os-x.html Preparing to Install Ubuntu alongside OS X & Windows Vista (Triple Boot) Note: This is for a MacBook Pro with OS X & Windows Vista allready installed 1. Install the rEFIt Boot Menu from (http://refit.sf.net). Also to access Linux partition in Vista install 'Ext2 IFS': http:// www.fs-driver.org/download.html And to access OS X partition in Vista install 'Mac Drive': http:// www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/ To ajust Fans speed in Vista install "inputremapper" before the leopard dvd drivers: http://www.olofsson.info/index.html? inputremapper.html To ajust Fans speed in OS X install: http://homepage.mac.com/ holtmann/eidac/software/smcfancontrol2/index.html To access Linux partition in OS X see: http://fuz2y.blogspot.com/ 2008/04/how-to-mount-ext3-partition-on-os-x.html Ubuntu Installation (Triple Boot - Vista) 1. Startup your laptop with Ubuntu Desktop CD inserted into the drive. 2. In rEFIt menu, choose to boot the Ubuntu CD. 3. Select English as the language to be used. 3. Select the 2nd option, the one that says : "Install Ubuntu" 4. After the loading, on the install screen, select the O.S. Language (English) and hit "Forward" button, then select your country location. 5. On the Keyboard layout, choose your keyboard language, and on the other window select the variant Macintosh (mine is Portugal - Macintosh), and test the typing if you want. 6. On the "Prepare Disk Space" menu, select the 1st option: "Guided - Resize SCSI3 (0,1,0), Partition #3 (sda) and use Free Space", and with your mouse select the desired partition size (I set mine to 80% Windows Vista & 20% Ubuntu), and hit "Forward" button. 8. On "Migrate Documents and Settings" menu, just hit "Forward". 9. On "Ready to Install" menu, select "Advanced..." and select to install Grub boot loader to the last partition "/dev/sda4" and hit "OK" button, and then hit "Install" button to begin the installation process. 10. After the installation as finished, hit "Restart Now" button, it will exit the installer and eject your CDROM, then press "Enter" key to restart. After the reboot, select the Linux icon on rEFIt to boot into Ubuntu. 11. Don't forget not to install the ATI accelerated graphics drivers, that is auto-detected by Hardware Drivers application, we'll cover the installation of the latest and ofcial ATI drivers on the next section. 6. Go to 'System' > 'Administration' > 'Software Sources' and check all boxes on the "Third party software", and also on the "Updates" tab. Then hit "Close" button to reload the sources. 7. Go to 'System' > 'Administration' > 'Update Manager' and check and install the new updates. Preparing to Install Ubuntu alongside OS X & Windows XP (Triple Boot) 1 - Make sure you use Leopard and have it updated (10.5.2). 2 - Start BootCamp and create a partition for Windows XP (15G is enough). 3 - Don't install it through Bootcamp. 4 - Insert Windows CD and reboot holding C when you hear the beeping sound. 5 - Windows installation should start, follow the usual installation process of Windows. 6 - If it reboots during installation, you press ALT during reboot so that you can pick Windows installation. 7 - After Windows is installed, insert your Leopard DVD and it should install all your Apple drivers and stuf.

  • Ubuntu-Linux Und Seine Vettern
    Ubuntu Ubuntu ist eine Linux-Distribution , die auf Debian GNU/Linux basiert. Die Entwickler verfolgen mit Ubuntu das Ziel, ein einfach installier- und bedienbares Desktop-Betriebssystem mit aufeinander abgestimmter Software zu schaffen. Dies soll unter anderem dadurch erreicht werden, dass für jede Aufgabe genau ein Programm zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Ubuntu wird vom Unternehmen Canonical Ltd. gesponsert, das von Mark Shuttleworth gegründet wurde. [1] Nachdem im Oktober 2004 die erste Version erschienen war, wurde Ubuntu sehr schnell bekannt und innerhalb von nur ein bis zwei Jahren zu einer der meist genutzten Linux- Distributionen. [2] Neben Ubuntu selbst, welches GNOME als Desktopumgebung einsetzt, existieren verschiedene Abwandlungen . Zu den offiziellen Unterprojekten gehören Kubuntu und Xubuntu mit KDE beziehungsweise Xfce als Desktopumgebung, sowie Edubuntu, das besonders an die Bedürfnisse von Schulen und Kindern angepasst ist. Die aktuelle Version, Ubuntu 7.10 ( Gutsy Gibbon ) wurde am 18. Oktober 2007 veröffentlicht. [3] Die Veröffentlichung von Ubuntu 8.04 ( Hardy Heron ), einem Release mit verlängertem Support („LTS“ = Long Term Support , englisch) ist für den 24. April 2008 geplant. Die Finanzierung des Ubuntu-Projektes ist für eine Linux-Distribution ungewöhnlich. Initiiert wurde das Ubuntu-Projekt durch den südafrikanischen Milliardär Mark Shuttleworth , der sich selbst als „wohlwollenden Diktator“ bezeichnet. Er selbst finanziert einerseits einen Großteil des Projektes, wodurch dieses weitaus größere finanzielle Mittel zur Verfügung hat, als die meisten anderen Distributionen, ist aber auch selbst als Entwickler tätig. Die meisten der ungefähr 40 hauptberuflichen Ubuntu-Entwickler kommen aus den Debian- und GNOME- Communitys [4] und werden vom Unternehmen Canonical Limited mit Sitz auf der Isle of Man bezahlt, das Shuttleworth gehört und das Projekt hauptsächlich sponsert.
