Remember that this is a 100% replacement. I selected Ubuntu 14.04 LVM ( logical volume Management) formatting installation and I like this approach.

It is a regular software and below par for Mac. I did not see anything that I would miss. Also if you are not alert they want your credit card and ++++ To me ElCaptan was nothing of a pleasant experience.

Now I have to say that My purpose was to replace 100% Mac Elcaptan because I hate to be told that I have to accept and install ITune ++. I was so surprised because I had tried many other methods and nothing worked. My Ubuntu 14.04 version is the regular one. Then I closed and booted from the DVD ( holding down Alt option key to boot from the DVD or a USB key. I followed Rottlatl advise posted on this post and started first installing Refit on my Mac. I have just completed installing Ubuntu 14.04LTS on the same version, mid-2009 MacBook Pro. Apple want us to Keep up piling the waste on the planet.and give them money There must be some bugs in this new vesion 18.04-1 and I pass my experience because many may have tried to install a much better OS on these Apple products the company wants us to throw away.

When I rebooted I could connect to update and dist-upgrade + Install all the other apps as I liked to choose.
I selected the minimal, with no downloads while installing. That is the only way it proceeded to install. I found out it was a NO NO.īy luck or chance after 5-6 times, I decide to selected ''English Canadian'',''Canadian Multilingual'' and regional ''Canadian French''. I had to restart the whole process from the beginning. In all previous installations since Ubuntu 6.XX (over 10 years or so) I always seleced English US as the languageĪnd things would roll on to install. After reselecting over 20 times I decided to keep Toronto and go on. but that never stayed selected and it always moved to Toronto, On. The first pitfall I had to face was at the time of selecting the city/country. Don't let off the ''alt-option'' until you see the new choice showing ''windows'' and the ''yellow usb drive''. Restart pressing ''Alt-option'' key + power on switch. I got get rid of refind, insert the DVD + the usb flash drive all at same time. I tried pressing the ''alt-option'' key - not much luck it would stop after starting to read the 18.04.iso DVD, then engaged in a reject. On the MAc BOOk Pro mid-2009 I tried the DVD approach and pressing C key - No success it is always rejeted.
I have to say It is becoming tedious or I am getting older.įirst let us be clear, The ''refind'' approach did not work before and not this time again for me on this Mac Book Pro and not on a more recent Mac Boo Pro with intel i5! and not with my older big MacBook Pro 2008 with 2 Zeon cpu totalling 4 cores. My recipe is if you DO NOT GIVE UP AND ARE VERY PERSISTENT. My recent experience installing ubuntu 18.04 on same MacBook Pro mid 2009 ( MBP 5.5 ) that had ubuntu 14.04 and for THOSE WHO HAPPENS TO HAVE A BEAUTIFULL USELESS, WOTHLESS MacBook Pro that sits around doing nothing because Mountain Lion is overpass not suppoorted and dead!
