Alex, It's unclear how long this bug will take to get resolved, if at all. Even if you find the machine does start up after 15 minutes or so, it might not perform well enough to be usable.
If you would like to use Ubuntu on it then maybe the lighter weight Lubuntu is a better solution right now: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/18.04/release/lubuntu-18.04.1 -desktop-amd64.iso -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1811599 Title: When booting, the computer hangs at a purple screen and no login prompt is ever displayed [Apple Macbook 2,1 - Intel GMA 950] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1811599/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
