Installing Linux on 2009 iMac, black screen after bootloader Is the error that I receive and I have tried editing the GRUB settings to include 'nomodeset' as suggested on forums such as this one:Į.g. The standard Ubuntu ISO can't be installed due to a GPU issue: An earlier attempt to install Ubuntu Server crashed so when I boot the machine it goes to blank screen with just only '_'. Startup manager is not recognising the bootable USB that has been loaded with the Ubuntu Server Netboot ISO, though it is recognising a USB that has been loaded with the standard Ubuntu USB - does anyone know why this might be? I am using the same program to create both bootable USBs and I have tried different USB ports.įor context there isn't a functioning OS on this machine. I am trying to turn an iMac mid 2010 21.5" into a home server by installing Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS on it. ![]() ![]() Apologies if this question is inappropriate for this forum I am not sure whether I should be on the Apple or Ubuntu StackExchange.
