What I figured out by reading through several posts on Github was that using the firmware from Catalina won't work. That gives me a list of current firmware used by my MacBook's specific WiFi card. My MacBook Pro is the 15,2 and running the following terminal command in macOS: ioreg -l | grep C-4364 I'm quite confident that I will get it working eventually since other people with identical MacBooks have got it working.

Needless to say, I'm still trying my best to figure out how to get the Wi-Fi to work. Holding in the Fn key shifts the Touch Bar from the default function keys to allowing me to change volume, keyboard and display brightness as well as playback controls. The good news is that the Touch Bar, track pad and SSD is detected and working perfectly. (There's one trick left that I still have to try.) I've tried all the various fixes that's suggested on Github but so far I've had no success. The only issue I currently have is that Wi-Fi isn't working. Amazingly it worked perfectly! Well almost perfectly. I used this ISO to make a bootable USB and installed it as normal. I eventually found a pre-made ISO on Github that had all of the fixes already included. I tried to do this by installing Ubuntu, plugging in a USB hub with an external keyboard and mouse, installed the various patches and fixes via terminal and failed miserably. I obviously got excited and ran off to get a USB flash drive and bam! Reality set in and I figured out that it's not as easy as I hoped for.Īs usual, the standard version of Ubuntu doesn't work and needs several changes to be made by installing various bits and pieces from Github that if done correctly, will result in a working installation of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a MacBook Pro. This was a huge step forward compared to when I had a 2015 12" MacBook that had zero support for Ubuntu. What I found was that there was a few projects on Github that help to get Fedora, Arch and Ubuntu running on MacBooks with essentially everything working. I had given up on the idea of getting it working until the other day when I was bored and decided to do some research on the issue. Sadly, installing any of the versions of Ubuntu or several other Linux distros results in my MacBook's keyboard, track pad and SSD not being detected.

I have a Mac Min A1176 and tried following:ġ) when booting off "ubuntu-14.04.5-server-amd64+mac.iso" on a CD (hoping to so upgrade to 16.04 and 18.04), I get the message: " This kernel requires a x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU.
#INSTALL LINUX ON MAC MINI A1176 64 BIT#
Until now, I only was able to install a 32 bit Ubuntu 16.04 but I'd like to "upgrade" to a 64 bit base. This is due to the 32 bit BIOS and 64 bit CPU which seems to confuse the installer. I'm (desperately) try to install Ubuntu 18.04 64 bit (mini.iso) but I fail in each and every attempt.
