[Bug 546393] Re: MacBook Pro 5, 1 / 5, 2 / 5, 3 / 5, 5 fails to boot into 12.04 desktop
Christopher cv, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux replace-with-bug-number Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc4 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

[Bug 546393] Re: MacBook Pro 5, 1 / 5, 2 / 5, 3 / 5, 5 fails to boot into 12.04 desktop
I´ve just managed to get the 12.04 LiveCD to boot into a GUI on my MacBook Pro 5,2 /sys/class/dmi/id/bios_vendor:Apple Inc. /sys/class/dmi/id/bios_version: MBP52.88Z.008E.B05.0905042202 /sys/class/dmi/id/bios_date:05/04/09 /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor:Apple Inc. /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name:MacBookPro5,2 /sys/class/dmi/id/product_version:1.0 /sys/class/dmi/id/board_vendor:Apple Inc. /sys/class/dmi/id/board_name:Mac-F2268EC8 /sys/class/dmi/id/board_asset_tag:Base Board Asset Tag# /sys/class/dmi/id/chassis_vendor:Apple Inc. /sys/class/dmi/id/chassis_type:8 /sys/class/dmi/id/chassis_version:Mac-F2268EC8 I had to add the following to the grub menu entry prior to booting: outb 0x728 1 outb 0x710 2 outb 0x740 2 outb 0x750 0 set gfxpayload=keep linux /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash nouveau.noaccel=1 -- I also made sure that the Power Saving settings in OS X were set to ¨Performance¨. The screen initially goes black before eventually flickering and then showing the gui desktop. Adding blacklist=vga16fb or nomodeset, either together or individually on the kernel line resulted in X not starting and being dropped to a console.

System rebooted OK, had to add same options to grub to get GUI to display. Once up and running installed the restricted NVidia drivers and rebooted. Booted to GUI with no additional options added to grub, NVidia splash screen displayed briefly then default desktop.

@Tomodachi - if you note, the bug refers to the nouveau driver, not the binary one - with the nouveau driver it fails to successfully boot UNLESS acceleration is disabled - ie. it only boot successfully if you add: nouveau.noaccel=1 to the kernel command line The second issue is then that Xorg may pick to use the wrong card (ie the one which the display is not connected to - but this can be controlled by either disabling say the 9600 card as you do, or by specifying which card to use via its PCI device id in the device section of xorg.conf with something like: BusID PCI:3:0:0 # this selects the 9400M -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546393 Title: MacBook Pro 5,1 / 5,2 / 5,3 / 5,5 fails to boot into 12.04 desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/546393/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If it definitely is a MacBook Pro (emphasis on the Pro) then it does (a lower powered 9400M and a higher powered 9600M GT - you should be able to see both under OSX which boot via native EFI) - however by default Ubuntu will boot via BIOS emulation in which case the 9400M is automatically disabled by the Apple EFI firmware or some such - BUT if you boot Ubuntu via EFI then it should see both cards. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546393 Title: MacBook Pro 5,1 / 5,2 / 5,3 / 5,5 fails to boot into 12.04 desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/546393/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Im surprised to see MBP5.1 users having problems with booting into Ubuntu. ive run ubuntu successfully for the last three releases when using the proprietary nvidia driver What usually messed things up for me was what card was selected in OSX as the active card. toggling this might be what gets you booted (my macbook has the 9600 and the 9400 nvidia card) into the installation. Also , i run my macbook in efi mode nowdays, all works fine except that one needs to add a more up to date backlight module adding this to grub console will disable your 9600 card before booting into your os and hence save battery. outb 0x728 2 outb 0x710 2 outb 0x740 2 outb 0x750 0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546393 Title: MacBook Pro 5,1 / 5,2 / 5,3 / 5,5 fails to boot into 12.04 desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/546393/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
