Hello there, in the past I installed Xubuntu 16 and 18 on my old MacBook Pro which has not been supported anymore by Apple for years. Both versions worked for some time but one day there regularly were problems at startup and I forget about the old Apple. Last week I tried to run Xubuntu 20.04.1 on it and the tryout version worked fine!! So I chose to install the complete version instead of the Apple OS software and that went fine, too. All checks were OK and installation went smoothly. However, after trying to startup the next day, the message: /dev/sda2: clean xxx/xxx files, etc, appeared and Mac stopped there. I can still open recovery mode and all items of it seemed to work. I found out that this machine has a 64 bits processor with a 32 bits EFI. I tried everything to get it started, even tried to install version 14.04 32 bits, but I have lost control now. What else can I do before throwing this (at that time very expensive) Apple out of the window?
the green lines make it look like it could possibly be an issue with your graphics processor. after you boot into recovery mode, can you run the command
inxi -Fxz
in a terminal and post the output here?
as you can see in the line for Graphics, you have an nvidia graphics processor (gpu). sometimes these can be troublesome for ubuntu. you do appear to have a proprietary driver (340.108) installed, but it may not be working well enough to allow you to boot correctly.
The nomodeset procedure via GNU Grub did not work. I will try this again with the install DVD tomorrow.
One more thing: the black and green lines were already there when it worked with Apple OS and later with Xubuntu. After booting it disappeared and stayed away till the next boot session.
Thanx for now!
"initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed", message appears on boot up.If I "update-initramfs" using gzip instead of lz, then boot up passes without decoding failed message.---However, we currently believe that the decoding error reported...
I'm just trying to graphically customize my "own" linux distro based on xubuntu,but focused on the virtualization. My idea is to configure it with all the files stored on the right places to allow the end user to virtualize any OS with qemu and kvm AND to passthru his nvidia gpu out of the box. In addition to this I want to prepare a special guest OS based on FreeBSD which will be virtualized on top of the custom ISO adding a lot of scripts useful for who wants to try the bhyve hypervisor. Having said that,actually I'm trying to customize the iso graphically,because I want that it looks a little bit different from xubuntu. I've looked inside the xubuntu squash file to understand where are saved all the png files that that make it look alike xubuntu and I've found them located on these folders :
Let's say that I have 0 knowledge about how to draw a new set of pics,logo and icons for my distro. I think that the only way that I can do that is to find somewhere a pre-made set of graphic files,logo,icons which is copyright free. I'm not talking about this kind of icons themes :
because this kind of icons is used when xubuntu is already installed. But the pictures that I want to change are mostly the ones you see while it is being installed. I've uploaded on my google drive all the pictures that I need to replace with another set of the same. I don't care so much to have something that's very personal. For me it's ok if the new set is funny and copyright free. Do you have some kind of idea to suggest ? I can't draw the xubuntu pictures one by one. I haven't neither the desire nor the competence to do that. Very thanks.
