| xubuntu88i | I'm installing on mid 2007 intel base Mac-mini. It is stuck on grub-install dev/sda. It was hunting for a place to install grub on different partition. | 01:00 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu88i | Any body install on this old Mac-mini successfully? How did you do it? | 01:02 |
| xubuntu88i | It called macmini 2,1or something like that. | 01:03 |
| xubuntu88i | Hi. Anybody here? | 01:08 |

| ubottu | xubuntu88i: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ | 01:10 |
| arraybolt3 | xubuntu88i: Sounds like it's probably an EFI problem. Do you get any further info about why exactly the command failed? | 01:12 |
| arraybolt3 | Also it may be helpful to see your syslog - you can share it with us by running "cat /var/log/syslog | nc termbin.com 9999" in a terminal (without the quotes around it). Then paste the link that command spits out here, and that may help us to see why the installation failed. | 01:12 |
| xubuntu88i | I only know that my mac-mini use 32efi to boot but it is 64 bit machine and i'm installing 64 bit version xubuntu. | 01:14 |
| xubuntu88i | I'm still in the xubuntu installer. How do I open the terminal? | 01:19 |
| xubuntu88i | It is in the middle of installing but it's stuck. | 01:20 |
| arraybolt3 | Oh. Sadly, mixed-mode EFI is not supported by Ubuntu. | 01:21 |
| arraybolt3 | Ubuntu currently requires a 64-bit EFI and a 64-bit processor. | 01:21 |
| arraybolt3 | There are ways of installing Ubuntu with the 32-bit bootloader, but they are difficult. | 01:21 |
| arraybolt3 | I know that both Debian and Fedora support mixed-mode EFI though (Debian only supports it with its multiarch ISO, I think Fedora supports it by default). Debian is somewhat similar to Ubuntu, so you might be able to use it. | 01:22 |
| xubuntu88i | Oh okay. Thanks for the info. | 01:23 |
| arraybolt3 | xubuntu88i: If you wait a bit, I'll share the link to the Debian multiarch ISO real quick. | 01:25 |
| arraybolt3 | xubuntu88i: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/multi-arch/iso-cd/ | 01:26 |
| xubuntu88i | Thanks. I appreciate it. | 01:26 |
