I'm trying to install Gnewsense to a late 2013 Macbook Air. Can't complete text mode, or GUI mode, since the keyboard becomes dead after selecting the entry in the splash menu. I.e. I can scroll the options in the boot splash menu, after hitting enter when the first dialog is brought up the keyboard doesn't react to any presses.
I remember having had similar issues installing Debian or Ubuntu in the past on an older Macbook. These were solved by plugging in a USB keyboard for the install. Now, however, even the USB keyboard goes dead. I've tried: expert acpi=off and expert noacpi none of these two booting methods make any difference however. Incidentally, the keyboard works fine if I boot into the Live session, so could do the install from there... However I can't figure out how to start in expert mode in the Live session, and I need expert as you MUST specify that GRUB be installed to /dev/sda3 and NOT /dev/sda as otherwise the whole Macbook gets messed up - been there. Please, someone help me... I don't want to settle for Ubuntu... Many thanks. -- 白い熊@相撲道 _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list gNewSense-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
