Those repeated messages are probably just a consequence of still having debugging turned on. Maybe now is a good time to try with debugging turned off in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf so as to generate smaller logs.
> Whenever I try to get the computer to recognize the CD image and to boot from it, I have to spam "1" and "Enter" over and over and sometimes it works. Have you run into this issue before? No I haven't ever heard of that. Usually on a Macbook you just hold the Option key at startup to select a boot device. Maybe you are seeing a quirk of the old model or maybe you are experiencing a hardware fault. In fact, if you can't get any Linux to work reliably then hardware faults start to become a more realistic explanation. But I don't see any solid evidence of a hardware fault yet. -- 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
