Installing Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr on Macbook Pro 13" i7 now can be done easily. Here are step-by-step to make Ubuntu Trusty works on MBP:
- Download the Ubuntu for Mac ISO image (daily build), listed here.
- Make the iso file bootable from usb or external harddisk by using start up disk creator (Dash >> Startup Disk Creator).
- Make partition for Ubuntu allocation from Mac using Disk Utility
- Install rEFIt on Mac, make sure the installation was succesfull. If it can't be instaled, change the setting in System Preference to allow installion from outside applel store. I prefer rEFIt than rEFInd.
- Reboot, Install Ubuntu from the disk (ubs or external harddisk)
- After installation, some features are not working properly.
Please refer to this page, download the Ubuntu driver for mbp and install it. However, it didn't work, we skip this step, but we need it to install additional driver from mactel-support.
Install Macfan: sudo apt-get install macfanctld Install MBP Fan daemon
cd /usr/local/src
git clone https://github.com/dgraziotin/Fan-Control-Daemon.git
cd Fan-Control-Daemon
make
sudo make install
sudo cp mbpfan.upstart /etc/init/mbpfan.conf
sudo start mbpfan
- (not)Finish! enjoy your Ubuntu on mbp and keep fighting to face the problem :)
