[01:00] <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.
[01:02] <xubuntu88i> Any body install on this old Mac-mini successfully?  How did you do it?
[01:03] <xubuntu88i> It called macmini 2,1or something like that.
[01:08] <xubuntu88i> Hi.  Anybody here?
[01:10] <Bashing-om> !patience | xubuntu88i 
[01:12] <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.
[01:14] <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.
[01:19] <xubuntu88i> I'm still in the xubuntu installer.  How do I open the terminal?
[01:20] <xubuntu88i> It is in the middle of installing but it's stuck.
[01:21] <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.
[01:22] <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.
[01:23] <xubuntu88i> Oh okay. Thanks for the info.
[01:25] <arraybolt3> xubuntu88i: If you wait a bit, I'll share the link to the Debian multiarch ISO real quick.
[01:26] <arraybolt3> xubuntu88i: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/multi-arch/iso-cd/
[01:26] <xubuntu88i> Thanks.  I appreciate it.
