Bluetooth works in Ubuntu, just not with these two devices.

My Bluetooth Magic Trackpad and Magic Keyboard aren’t connecting to Ubuntu.

I can still boot into Ubuntu by holding down the Option key at startup. I need to boot off of Recovery and likely run the “bless” command one more time.

The Ubuntu installation re-disabled rEFInd.

Only two issues are occurring at the moment: The dual-boot is successfully working now. Rebooted and selected the bootable Ubuntu installer using rEFInd.

Back on macOS, I created a bootable Ubuntu installer using Ubuntu’s instructions.

#BOOT UBUNTU ON A MAC INSTALL#

I re-ran the final “bless” command from the manual install instructions, rebooted, and rEFInd was back in business. I booted off of Recovery again (plus this verified that it was successfully working again). With macOS fully in business, the bad news is the reinstall of macOS disabled rEFInd.I also ran DiskWarrior on the macOS partition to rebuild/optimize my Mac’s directory (all of the partitioning made the directory a little un-optimized).

#BOOT UBUNTU ON A MAC UPDATE#

To ensure my main Recovery partition works if I need it in the future, I quickly re-installed macOS in-place, as well as ran the update to the latest security updates.Booted off of that and successfully re-partitoned my Mac. I had a backup Recovery partition on the Mac created using TechTool Pro’s eDrive software.After rebooting the Mac and running the “Password Reset” utility, I was back into macOS and all my data. Doing it inside macOS, it threw a kernel panic and also messed up my Recovery partition. I should have done it from Recovery or an external drive. The breakdown happened when trying to partition my Mac for the Linux partition.I needed to manually install rEFInd using the Recovery partition and Terminal to bypass FileVault and System Integrity Protection.

How to use the Catalina Patcher youtube video: Don’t forget to take your machine out of the “beta” update release program (Link: CatalinaOTAswufix by jackluke) To stop the bootloop you must boot into the bootable drive and re-run the post install patches. CatalinaOTAswufix will cause the machine to bootloop after installing the update to 19H524. Having this bootable drive is mandatory in order to reinstall the post install patches after running CatalinaOTAswufix. You then use this bootable drive to partition the disk, upgrade / install Catalina, install post install patches, open terminal… (plus all the options were / are offered from the recovery partition).

#BOOT UBUNTU ON A MAC FULL VERSION#

I’m not sure how the “race” upgrade condition could happen? The Catalina Patcher tool downloads the latest full version of Catalina offered by Apple (19H2) and then offers you the option to create an external bootable installer. Otherwise both the update to Mojave and the upgrade to Catalina will race each other to install and the upgrade will fail. Let us know how it one does that, first must make sure that the version of macOS (le’s say Mojave” is fully updated before upgrading (let’s say, to Catalina).

After you install updates you may need to re-run the rEFInd-install script.īest of luck.

Using the minus sign (-) allows you hide boot options in the rEFInd menu screen.

Create and keep a separate USB flash drive created via the Catalina patcher tool that contains the macOS installation files along with the post install patches.

The first screen takes 10 minutes to move on to the next step. I thought the machine was hanging on the first screen, the progress bar was full and it appeared that nothing was happening.

If updating to Catalina, let the CatalinaOTAswufix run.

#BOOT UBUNTU ON A MAC ZIP FILE#

Using the refind-install script from the binary zip file should be all you need. However, I’ve found that installing rEFInd via a Linux session works just as well. The proper installation is demonstrated by this youtube video: rEFInd: How to Install and Boot Alternative OS on Mac. The file you want is the binary zip file found on the getting rEFInd from Sourceforge page via the rodsbooks website. The Catalina Patcher will allow the creation of install media (19H2) and the CatalinaOTAswufix will allow update to the latest version (19H524) after installation.

Thread from macrumors: Catalina on Unsupported Macs.

Links to run macOS Catalina on your Unsupported Mac: If you are going to dual boot / repartition you might as well bring that unsupported macBook up to a currently supported OS. Personally I would not dual boot and just run Linux on that old mac but…
