[ubuntu] Srange boot behaviour Ubuntu on iMac

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed on my Intel iMac. Except the keyboard everything is working fine out of the box. There is however one thing I like to be solved, that is strange startup behaviour. When I start the iMac Ubuntu will startup and failed to startup turn by turn. When it starts I see a underscore blinker for a few seconds afterwards the graphical startup screens is displayed and Ubuntu loads. The next time I start the iMac I only get a black screen. After I restart the iMac Ubuntu loads again. It is on a turn by turn basis. Strange is it not? Does anyone know what to do? (Hardware)

Strange problem. Ubuntu works fine on my iMac if I choose previous kernals and use kernal 2.6.....25. (Don't know exact string).

The newest kernal that was installed after my upgrade was 2.6.....32. I try booting into that kernal and it just goes to black screen after about 20 seconds. About 50% of the time I get a boot loader, and then black.

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my iMac dual boot. When I go into Cheese, I don't see the iMac camera. What should I do?

hi from Gennaro from Naples-Italy

[ubuntu] Ubuntu on iMac <USB> 38 weeks 21 hours ago

I want to install Ubuntu Desktop 12.0.4 on a dead iMac. The iMac has no OS installed into it. The only access I have is through an uncompatible OS X Snow Leopard DVD. This gives me access to Disk Utility and terminal (although the terminal will not recognise the sudo command).

I would like create a USB installer (not cd at all costs, as I have no access to CDS at this time).

When I select "restart" with 12.04 it begins the process, then stays forever stuck on the 3rd or 4th "dot" with the Ubuntu logo and never restarts so I don't have a choice but to force my iMac to shutdown.

Couldn't see any report of this issue anywhere. Does it ring a bell to someone? And is there a way to fix it?

Hey there guys! So I am having a bit of trouble (alot) while installing ubuntu. Ranging from Grpahical to Network. For whatever reason Ubuntu doesn't seem to like my iMac (and vice versa)

So here what I have done. -Installed a Commandline System of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Only because when I did a normal install with the LiveCD Ubuntu system would start but! for some reason my screen came on black.
