Ubuntu Budgie not booting
Short Description of Problem: I'd like to create a live USB drive with Ubuntu Budgie, but installing the latest ISO doesn't seem to work.
Expected Behavior: When booting from the Ubuntu Budgie drive that Mac Linux USB Loader has created, I would like Ubuntu Budgie to boot properly.
Actual Behavior:
I'm getting an error message immediately after booting that the OS could not be booted.
Steps to Reproduce:
Download Ubuntu Budgie 18.10 from https://ubuntubudgie.org/downloads, select "Create Live USB" in the app, select the ISO, select USB drive, let it install, reboot MacBook Retina, hold Option Key, select USB drive to boot from, watch boot process fail.
Ubuntu Budgie is unsupported (only standard Ubuntu is), though I’m surprised it doesn’t work. I’ll leave this issue open as a reminder to look into this.
The initrd changed in the 18.10 iso. It's /casper/initrd
instead of /casper/initrd.lz
, so adding initrd /casper/initrd
to the config file worked for me.
I also needed to use nomodeset
in the boot options to get it to start up on my 2016 MBP w/ touchbar. 18.04.1 worked fine without needing that option.
