| mesa | Hello: I'm running Bionic Beaver, 3-21-2018 build date, on an iMac 5k 27" - cpu intel Core i7-6700K@4.00GHz x8, graphics Radeon r9 m395x. Currently dual booting High Sierra and Ubuntu Bionic Beaver. I used reFINd boot manager to get through the installation. The problem I am having now is Ubuntu is re-writing the boot record everytime I run it: (I have to reinstall reFINd while booted to the maacosx . How can I have ubuntu (grub I assume) not to rewrite | 17:41 |
| mesa | the boot record. I want to use reFINd. Thanks. | 17:41 |
| mesa | I'm happy to report that, other than the behaviour m,entioned above, It is running very nicely on the mac hardware. | 17:43 |
| lotuspsychje | didnt test on mac myself mesa | 17:48 |
| lotuspsychje | !mac | mesa can this help anyhow>? | 17:48 |
| lotuspsychje | !mac | 17:48 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 17:48 |
| mesa | lotuspsychje: Thanks I will read now. | 17:48 |
| JimBuntu | mesa, Were you using Ubuntu prior to Bionic Beaver? | 18:05 |
| mesa | no | 18:05 |
| mesa | slackware | 18:05 |
| mesa | mac osx high sierra | 18:06 |
| JimBuntu | I am using a similar set up to what you describe, except 16.04 and don't have that issue, that's why I was wondering. | 18:06 |
| mesa | 16.04 didn't work for me due to graphics drivers. I needed the kernel support in the Beaver | 18:06 |
| JimBuntu | whoops, now I see it's an iMac... I always think MBP | 18:07 |
| mesa | JimBuntu: What bootloader are you using to dual boot with? | 18:14 |
| JimBuntu | I am using reFINd | 18:15 |
| mesa | Grub keeps rewriting my boot record nullifying reFINd. | 18:15 |
| JimBuntu | The only times I have to reload reFINd is when updating, sometimes macOS removes it on me... but it only takes a few seconds to re-install and it keeps my old settings/etc | 18:15 |
| mesa | Everytime I boot to ubuntu then grub takes over. Have to reinstall reFINd. | 18:16 |
| mesa | I'm researching now on how to solve the issue. | 18:16 |
| mesa | Lunch time, later. | 18:16 |
| JimBuntu | That is odd to me. Have fun | 18:16 |
| Asad2005 | I have upgraded to 18.04 from 17.10 at the end of file installation it failed, i think everything installed apart from papirus icon theme, is it safe to restart, rerunning the update manager shows only papirus but again failing to install it | 18:47 |
| Asad2005 | plus unsused header files to be removed | 18:49 |
| nacc | Asad2005: "papirus-icon-theme"? | 18:49 |
| Asad2005 | yes | 18:49 |
| nacc | Asad2005: can you pastebin what happens in a terminal when you try to run `sudo apt-get -f install` ? | 18:49 |
| Asad2005 | i will try | 18:50 |
| nacc | Asad2005: just curious why it's failing, as the package only exists in bionic | 18:51 |
| Asad2005 | https://pastebin.com/XtRkQnLK | 18:57 |
| nacc | Asad2005: that's from '-f install' ? | 18:57 |
| Asad2005 | yes | 18:57 |
| nacc | Asad2005: it seems like papirus-icon-theme is installed fine then | 18:58 |
| nacc | Asad2005: `apt-cache policy papirus-icon-theme` | 18:58 |
| Asad2005 | https://pastebin.com/Y93FdaAd | 18:59 |
| Asad2005 | the update-manager ended just before the clean up process | 19:00 |
| Asad2005 | Can i safely restart | 19:00 |
| Asad2005 | If thats the only package can i try uninstalling it first | 19:02 |
| nacc | Asad2005: ah, you were running some unsupported version of it? | 19:03 |
| Asad2005 | probably yes | 19:03 |
| nacc | Asad2005: i would remove that first (sudo apt remove papirus-icon-theme) then install it by ahdn (sudo apt-get install papirus-icon-theme) | 19:03 |
| nacc | then i'd reboot | 19:03 |
| Asad2005 | ok thanks | 19:04 |

| mesa | More success running Bionic Beaver (build date 3-21) on my iMac 5k 27". All my Apple Periph's are working: Magic Mouse 2, Magic Trackpad 2 & Magic Keyboard. Some gestures are not... yet. I wonder how to further configure ? | 22:44 |
| mesa | All Above are bluetooth devices. =) sweet. | 22:45 |
| mesa | I think I will document this entire setup, not just the bluetoooth, from the beginning to help others. Where would be a good place to post my "Installing and Dual Booting Ubuntu Bionic Beaver and High Sierra Mac OSX on your iMac" ? | 22:49 |
| mesa | I'll put it on my personal blog for now. | 22:50 |
| mesa | I'm searching for guidance/docs on fine tuning the keyboard/Trackpad/Mouse right now. Trying to get special keys on the keyboard (multimedia, etc) and trackpad and mouse gestures fine tuned. | 22:51 |
| hggdh | interesting. After today's updates I lost the ability to set the primary touchpad button. Now the primary is the left button no matter what. | 23:57 |
