There are a couple things that influence which guide you should follow to get Ubuntu onto your mini:įirstly, do you want to install in "BootCamp" (aka "BIOS emulation") mode, or in EFI mode. If they don't mention rEFInd at all, you are probably looking at a PC guide. But thank you for the hints.I'll read all those references before bitching any more!ĭon't be too worried about "uefi" vs "efi", but make sure to follow mac guides, not general pc guides. A couple other things: I don't have a Ubuntu Live option.when I load the iso and it runs the install, I cannot open the Try Ubuntu from the USB drive always says the drive is not mounted or busy.and yet it runs the install just fine (up until the crash point around grub.)
