![]() ![]() Help with understanding or diagnosis would be massively appreciated, let alone assistance with a solution. Select the Boot Camp volume, then press Return or click the up arrow. Release the key when you see a window (pictured above) showing all available startup volumes. Is there some reason why Ubuntu won't co-exist with OS X? Is one EFI but the other not? When your Mac begins to restart, press and hold the Option (or Alt) key on your keyboard. Is triple boot possible, with eg, rEFInd? ( Sources suggest it is with Bootcamp, too, but not in my experience.) I could re-install Ubuntu - is there a way of doing it without corrupting Bootcamp? How could I avoid losing Ubuntu again? But I have lost Ubuntu on the flash disk!Ĭan I get my Macbook to simply boot from USB, like any Windows laptop could, by setting that in the BIOS? I tried holding C, but the Macbook doesn't seem to find the flash disk Ubuntu. Basically, you use the Mac Startup Manager, Etcher, and Grub. This method does not use rEFInd, unetbootin or the ubiquity -b option. Enter the following commands to move the Ubuntu EFI boot files to the new EFI partition and restore the Windows boot folder names. The first one is to use default Ubuntu installer option where you use the entire drive. From the Ubuntu desktop, press the control + option + T key combination to open a terminal window. Now, booting with Option held down offers the Bootcamp menu, with OS X or Windows. There are two popular methods to install Ubuntu on your Macs external drive. Then behaviour changed again, possibly when I opened the Windows system tray Bootcamp assistant. I tried holding Option while typing exit into GRUB but it just booted into Windows. ![]() If I booted with the flash disk I got a Ubuntu menu that let me choose between Ubuntu and Windows. I assume booting into the flash Ubuntu put it there. You can avoid completely destroying (reformatting) your hard drive by using Apples BootCamp, which, for the reasons mentioned above, I do not recommend, and will not use in this tutorials. If I booted without the flash disk I got the GRUB command line with a flashing cursor. Should you decide to continue, you will have no Mac OS X on this Mac Mini computer after the step described in 'Preparing the hard drive for Linux'. If I booted without the flash disk I could hold Option, and could get into OS X. On the first few boots after this, I could boot with the Ubuntu flash disk in and it would offer a plain text (I assume GRUB) menu, which would enable me to choose between Ubuntu or Windows. As far as Im aware, you are not able to install Ubuntu via boot camp on Lion. But the installer also installed GRUB to the Macbook SSD (same happened to a colleague). ![]() I figured I could just boot from the USB when I needed Linux. I then created a Ubuntu 14 installer flash drive, and installed Ubuntu 14 to another flash drive. After Boot Camp is installed, it turns the Mac into a dual-boot. I set Windows as the default in Bootcamp, but pressed Option when I wanted OS X. I installed Win 8.1 using Bootcamp in the standard way recommended by Apple. Although Boot Camp does not support Linux officially (since many people have already done so), it has already been designed to work with it. I have a Macbook Pro (mid 2014) and want to run OS X, Windows and Ubuntu. Boot Camp is a component of Apple’s boot manager utility that adds Boot Camp to a boot manager. ![]()
