http://ubuntuforums.org – I have an iMac running Mac OS X 10.7.2 (Lion) and I need to install Ubuntu Server on it. I downloaded the ISO, and tried installing it like I would any other linux distro, but unfortunately Lion is unable to mount the ISO, giving the error, "No mountable filesystems." This is due to the fact that Ubuntu ISOs are hybrid, which Lion is unable to mount (http://askubuntu.com/questions/15383...os-in-mac-os-x.) I have tried every way I know how to install Ubuntu. I tried burning the ISO to a disk, but it fails because Lion can't mount it. I have no access to any other machines to burn the (Hardware)

I have an OS X Lion recovery stick that I would like to access, specifically to use it to install Lion in a Virtualbox VM. I notice that Windows detects and mounts the recovery stick as an optical drive. I know the drive works, because I am able to install Lion from it on a Mac. In Ubuntu, the drive does not automount, and I cannot figure out how to mount it manually.

Hi!

I'm having trouble setting up TimeMachine backup on a MBP Retina running 10.8.2.

The server is running Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS with Netatalk 2.2.1. I'm currently using Netatalk to share some files over AFP, and that works great, both from Mountain Lion and from Lion.

I've looked around on the interwebs but I can't find any sort of answer. I just picked up a Mac Mini and I'm going to throw Lion Server on it for my network.

Most of my computers are running either Leopard or Snow Leopard (one iMac is a PowerPC so I can't upgrade to Lion).

I'd like to use Open Directory for all my network authentication but I want to make sure that the Lion Server can authentica

Namely that after installing Ubuntu 12.04 and going to log in, I am met with a frozen slate of a desktop in which nothing loads (at longest I've sat for 30 minutes, reading, whilst nothing changes) and only the mouse moves.

Its not a blank screen, its the desktop that one is normally greeted with, just with nothing loaded.

So far I've tried http://askubuntu.com/questions/15715...-12-04-upgrade

I put on Lion on my mac ... a biiiiiiiig mistake. The machine is only 1yr old and Lion just crashes, hangs up more than windows 98. Wonderful.
