Hi, Is this bug fixed or not? I have here Ubuntu Budgie 24.10 on iMac
2013 (i5-4570 CPU). Is it safe to upgrade to 25.10? regards, Erkki

(i5-5350U) iMac14,1 (i5-4570R) With three older Macs Plucky and Questing
fail to boot. The built-in displays stay blank but the backlight is
visible until I force the computers to power off. External video doesn't
show anything. I have tried both installed (more below) and live images.
With the live image the GRUB menu with "Try or install" does show up.
All three do boot normally to 24.10 live images. The iMac has 24.10
installed which also boots fine. The two MacBooks have Plucky installed,
one upgraded from an earlier version and one installed several weeks
ago. Plucky booted fine until around 2025-03-16 when this boot issue
started, both with the installed version and the live image. I know this
because it caused me to set these aside until now when I had a chance to
look closer and find a non- Mac computer that I installed on that date.
[Test Case] Boot on above mentioned Macs. [Fix] Enable efi hack only on
arm64. [Where Problems Could Occur] Non-arm64 machines that need this
fix (highly unlikely) might not boot. -- You received this bug
