Public bug reported: Lubuntu vivid amd64 2015-01-28 does not boot on a MacBookPro from USB stick. I put in the USB stick an hold down alt while powering up the computer. Then the choice of boot media comes up, and I select the USB stick.
Here are the hardware specs http://linux.slashdot.org/story/15/01/28/1520252/why-screen-lockers- on-x11-cannot-be-secure Here is the image which does not boot: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/326/builds/88376/downloads The image starts in "insecure mode" and then GRUB comes up and offers several choices. When choosing "Try Lubuntu without installing" it runs for a few seconds and then freezes, apparently indefinitely. There is no way to get to another console with ctrl-alt-f1 or anything else. The only text on the console is: [ 7.093063] i i8042: No controller found starting version 218 More or less the same error occurs when choosing "Install Lubuntu" from GRUB What should have happened is that the installation proceeds or else the Live session starts, depending on the choice in GRUB. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Tags: vivid ** Description changed: - Lubuntu vivid amd64 2015-01-28 does not boot on a MacBookPro.
