Install Ubuntu on your Mac step-by-step

As a programmer you must have heard that Linux even likes Linux very much. Recently bought a Mac air, I like the Apple craft very much, but as the cock silk programmer, I still like the Linux kernel based Ubuntu for development. I'll tell you the next step in installing Ubuntu on your Mac.

2. 1

   First is to download the Bantu image, Mac version

4. 2

   Open Terminal

5. 3

   Convert ISO format to IMG format

   Hdiutil Convert-format udrw-o ~/path/to/target.img ~/path/to/ubuntu.iso

   
   

7. 4 run

   diskutil list 

   gets the storage medium attached to the current system

9. 5

   insert U-disk

11. 6

    diskutil list 

    gets the mount name of the U-disk

12. 7

    Run

    Diskutil UNMOUNTDISK/DEV/DISKN

    Un-mount to format

13. 8

    Perform

    sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/rdiskn bs=1m

    Format and make Ubuntu system boot disk
14. 9

    Unloading the U-disk

    Diskutil EJECT/DEV/DISKN

    
    

16. 10

    Restart your Mac and press Alt/option to enter boot mode and select start from U-disk. The next step is to be friendly and follow the prompts.

Ps: The wireless network may not be available after installation, but don't worry. Someone on the internet has already solved it. That's what I did.

Please run:

lspci -nn | grep 0280

the pipe symbol | is on the right side of my US keyboard on the same key with ' \ '. Is this your device?

broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev.)  

if So, Then bcmwl-kernel-source  is correct for your device. If you still has the install DVD or USB, then you can find it and its prerequisite there. Navigate to pool > restricted > B > Bcmwl and drag and drop the Deb file to your desktop. Now navigate to Pool > main > D > dkms and drag and drop dkms to your desktop. Now install both with:

cd ~/Desktopsudo dpkg -i *.deb

Load the driver:

sudo modprobe wl

Your Wireless should now is working.

If your device isn't 14e4:43a0, tell us what it actually is and we'll proceed.
