Hello,
I have tried and tried to install Ubuntu on my Macbook Pro 5,2 with no success.
Every time I try, I get to the purple screen with the battery + man then I get nothing but a black screen. The disc drive makes noise for about a minute and then nothing.
I though that it was just taking time to read off the boot disc, so I left it overnight and still nothing.
I have tried every single tutorial I could find here on the forum and elsewhere. They've included various combinations of:
-Ubuntu 12.04 / 13.04 / 13.10 (32 and 64 bit)
-rEFIt/rEFInd
-Partition via Disk Utilities / gDisk in OS X terminal / Bootcamp
Every time, just a blank black screen, no "Try" or "Install" screen.
It is a matter of installing 9.10, then upgrading?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
