I just took delivery of a new HDD and tried 10.10 again, but this time by trying to go via an update to 10.04 rather than a clean 10.10 install from the 10.10 DVD iso.
I managed to install and run 10.04 on my Macbook Pro just fine. Next I updated to 10.10 by running "package-manager -d". On rebooting the screen just displayed some funky garbage. The same thing occurs on each reboot. Next I tried holding down 'alt' while booting to get to GRUB and got the following eight options: Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-14-generic Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-14-generic (recovery mode) Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-24-generic Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-24-generic (recovery mode) Memory test (memtest86+) Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200) Memory test (memtest86+, experimental multiboot) Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200, experimental multiboot) Selecting the first option gave the same problems (presumably because it's the default). The third option boots fine, but into what is apparently Ubuntu 10.04, not 10.10. -- Maverick alpha 2 can't install on late 2008 Macbook Pro (Plymouth fails to start?) 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
