[all variants] rEFIt troubles 35 weeks 7 hours ago

I recently downloaded and installed rEFIt and Ubuntu 12.04 on my macbook pro 6,2. I did this in the following order:

1. installed refit, rebooted to affirm it boots to refit. 2. downloaded Ubuntu (verified md5) and burned iso to DVD. 3. partitioned 60 GB of free space in disk utility 4. inserted DVD, rebooted, from refit boot screen booted to Ubuntu install DVD. 5.

Tripple booting with Refit 23 weeks 6 days ago

I am currently working on a MAC that is dual booting Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit with MAC OS X (Lion I think) 64-bit via Refit; I never use the OS X partition because I can't stand the UI on Macs, my question is, if I were to try installing Ubuntu 12 64-bit onto this system, using another partition, would I use Refit to have three options when the machine loads up, or would I just use the pre-existing Ubu

Yes, you can use rEFIt and the kernel EFI stub to boot. I don't know how well the graphics drivers will work, though.If you have problems, try to use lilo or syslinux, you won't need the oversized grub2http://refit.sourceforge.net/doc/c2s2_startos.html

i tried refit today and booting statler and waldorf was smooth as butter, the trackpad , multitouch gestures,clicks(taps) have problems but well i use the keyboard most of the time so , no problemo!

I'm trying to dual boot Ubuntu 12.04 on my Macbook(which is a Mid 2007 model with Intel Core 2 dual and currently running Lion).

I've got a Mid 2010 13" MacBook Pro with 500GB M4 SSD, 8GB memory and have made the following partitions - Mountain Lion = 200GB, Windows 7 = 200GB and Ubuntu = 100GB.

I installed Mountain Lion first then the latest version of refit followed by Windows 7 and all worked perfect.

My Macbook Air dual boots Mac OS X and Ubuntu Precise. Normally when you turn it on the first thing you see is the rEFIt menu which allows you to select which OS to boot. If you select Ubuntu then Grub will show up next, though Grub cannot boot Mac OS X.

Last friday I restarted Ubuntu and it skipped straight to Grub.

There is no Wubi for OS X, and installing Ubuntu usually means you have to run Bootcamp to resize your Macintosh HD partition and rEFIt to make your Ubuntu partition bootable. Bootcamp and rEFIt are great tools, but shouldn’t taking the latest release of Ubuntu for a spin on your Mac be as easy as drag-and-drop?
