As said in the bug description, it's present in http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/maverick/alpha-2/maverick- dvd-i386.iso As stated in comment 5, the solution is known, and this seems like it's just a case of applying that fix again (I'm guessing somehow the fix got overwritten before Maverick was released). ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607643 Title: Maverick alpha 2 can't install or run on Macbook Pro (5.1 (late 2008 edition)) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I just discovered an old closed bug for 10.04 that seems to have a solution for my 10.10 install that I created by upgrading from 10.04, and gets me a little (not much) further with installing 10.10 directly (ie clean install) from the 10.10 DVD: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/546393?comments=all I need to add both nouveau.noaccel=1 and blacklist=vga16fb to the boot options. That seems to fix the 10.10 install that I created from the 10.04 upgrade. Adding these same options to the 10.10 installer DVD when it starts get's me past the black screen with the white cursor, and to a purple screen with the text "ubuntu" and five white dots underneath, with a highlight moving from dot to dot. That's where the 10.10 DVD install stops unfortunately, and in fact the moving highlight from dot to dot also stop eventually, leaving just five white dots. So I'm wondering whether the fix Andy Whitcroft mentions in comment 118 of bug 546393 have somehow been dropped...or stopped working: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/546393/comments/118 -- Maverick alpha 2 can't install or run on Macbook Pro (5.1 (late 2008 edition)) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607643 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
