How To Dual Boot Ubuntu & MacOS On MAC 2023 || Install Ubuntu On MAC (INTEL ONLY)

[@pradhant]

Buddy you saved my old Macbook Pro,it slowed down like hell, WIFI and speakers stopped working, I just needed to keep the machine alive for writing and some background basic work. I didn't want to sell it This install salvaged my machine. Thanks a lot for a such a clear video.

[@karthiksaladi6528]

I have successfully installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on my mac book pro (2012), by just following this video. No problem with wifi and audio. Thanks to the creator of this video.🎉

[@e7234]

22 comes with build in drivers for macs. Literally everything works like a charm ones it's installed

[@keanujp7839]

thanks for the tutorial, so helpful with calm voice over without any backsound and to the point for tutorial. ❤

[@kskroyaltech]

Thank you very much

This worked! :-) Got Linux Mint on my old Macbook now! :-) Thank you for the clear guidance about the partitions. That was very helpful. Now next thing I will try is to dual boot fedora on my actual Macbook (2019). There is a github project which already includes all the drivers for the T2 chip. You do great videos, thanks again!

[@kskroyaltech]

Thank you so much. Would you mind sharing the GitHub project Link I will try and make a video.

how to install kali linux in macbook pro t2 chip?

[@rishibose08]

Please see if you're using 22.04 and make sure PulseAudio is working correctly, if it is not, fix it for 22.04: sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio&& sudo apt-get install pulseaudio && If you using 22.10 make sure that any package is not broken and pipewire is installed because in 22.10 it is using pipewire audio service instead of using pulseaudio service. Thank You for giving advice for using auto-cpufreq also.

[@kskroyaltech]

Thank you so much. I will try this way.

[@rishibose08]

@@kskroyaltech Okay, if it doesn't work on mac you have to reinstall it and make sure it is connected to AC power.

[@edmorris1437]

I chose Linux Mint instead of Ubuntu, but the steps in this video walkthrough were virtually the same and immensely helpful.

[@ChuckTomasi]

Thanks for the info. Great job. I was able to load Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on my Mac Mini (late 2014). There were just minor differences in your video vs. the installer, but nothing significant. FWIW, I had to install with a USB keyboard and mouse until I got to the point where I could enable Bluetooth and pair the wireless Mac keyboard and mouse. Thanks again!

I did the procedure 5 times, just like in the video, but it doesn’t work!! When I click install from a bootable USB flash drive - an error (mac mini 2018) - "you need to reinstall the MacOS on the selected disk" What to do?

[@kskroyaltech]

Can u tell me one thing, could you turn off the Mac and remove USB flash drive. Then turn on your Mac, and let me know if it boots properly to macOS. If not macOS has corrupted.

[@mikanight]

Models with Apple's NVMe controller (MacBookPro13,1, MacBookPro13,2, MacBookPro14,1 and MacBookPro14,2) require disabling the d3cold PCIe power state for the NVMe controller to successfully wake up again: echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/d3cold_allowed. This command must be executed from root, and ideally on startup, since the file is rewritten to '1' on startup. Even then resume is incredible slow and takes up to a minute, probably due to additional bugs. For the 15" models with additional AMD GPU resume only works when using the internal Intel GPU.

[@lemoncryptonfa4980]

The sound, Bluetooth and freeze when closing the lid is a pain. Great tutorial by the way bro

[@kskroyaltech]

Yes I know can't help. I guess we need a custom kernel to fix those issues.

[@black_n_brown]

​@@kskroyaltechI think it may need more kernel modules that aren't added during installation or custom modules or specific apt installations cause parallels gets it work but it's also not perfect

[@Petit_Mbenya]

[@tyanite1]

Being a nerd can be lonely, even if you know many other nerds. There are nerds of myriad types and their interests may not overlap. So I came here to share with no one, anyone how fascinated I was to clone my dual boot windows and Linux to an external drive and then boot both of them on my 2009 mac that has Monterey installed thanks to. Some very clever unpaid programmers. If you do this, two tips. Learn how to reinstall Grub in a way that Mac recognizes and back it up in case it gets messed up. Also, never let Windows start a repair. It will certainly wipe out Grub and might even mess up your partition table. Sorry for the typos. My phone won't let me edit. It keps jumping around.

[@massimomantoantube]

Wonderful. Thank You.

It tells me its unable to verify startup disk and sends me to recovery mode. The two options it gives me are “try again” or “startup disk…” try again just fails and startup disk sends me to a new page. The new page is titled choose startup disk, it displays one disc selectable which is macintosh HD, my disk. It says its encrypted, i can decrypt it and then it gives me the option to restart, i do and i go and try to boot Ubuntu again and it puts me back in recovery mode and gives me the same error

[@thmUNIX]

@@kskroyaltech Ok, I mean initially there were rumours that even when you disable Secure Boot, Linux won’t be able to detect internal SSD because of the T2 chip, and there were also some problems with keyboard and trackpad, and Wi-Fi. So, I guess, such major issues are fixed? Also could you mention (if you have any info on that) how good is battery life on these Macs on GNU/Linux?

Does not work for Macbook Air Retina 2020 Intel Because of the T2 chip, no linux kernel I tried supports it, latest I tried is Ubuntu 24 LTS.

[@YoriYuliandra]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. It worked well. However, when I tried to remove the ubuntu installation, I mistakenly deleted the wrong partition. Now, I can't boot into the MacOS. While trying the internet recovery and checking the Disk Utility, the partition size is only 1.33 GB (instead of the actual ~512 GB). Can you help me how to get my MacOS back?

[@kskroyaltech]

Oh god, I think you have messed up MacOS EFI or Recovery partition. When you are inside internet recovery, inside disk utility wipe the Internal DRIVE and reinstall macOS. Or if you have a spare Mac make a bootable USB with macOS and reinstall . See this link: support.apple.com/en-in/101578

Do encrypt any linux partitions especially on Mac hardware.. I cannot say exact reasons. Just don't. BUt... You can use chmod or chown to lock the home folder after installation.
