Title: Can't boot 14.10 LiveCD without "nomodeset" option - Macbook Pro 8.2 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: on Macbook Pro 8.2 (Early 2011 15"), and maybe some other models, if you will try to launch 14.10 Ubuntu LiveCD "as usual", you will be stuck at "i8042: No controller found" message (but this error message is not pointing to a particular problem which hangs a booting process --- because the same error message could be found at dmesg of successful booting with nomodeset option. it looks like the boot-breaking problem happens a bit later after an error message above) Workaround is to edit the booting option by adding "nomodeset", but such a step could be unobvious to unexperienced users. Ideally, if nomodeset option is really "must have" for booting some computers, the booting process should automatically check hardware IDs and detect if nomodeset should be enabled for the computer in use (at the early stage of booting) -- and user still would be able to remove nomodeset by editing the boot options, if there's a need To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1406832/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
