I noticed the MATE symbol very faint in the screen, but it was still black, with no real keyboard access.

> I decided to blow away the Mac OS completely, and run MATE 20.04. My specs:Processor 2.33Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo I'll add some things quirks I've found, and try to post solutions (if I can find them) for others, as I think this is a great thing to do.

Browsing sites looks incredibly crisp, and video on things like CNN, BBC and YouTube look good (420p runs fine, 720p choppy but understood from HW). Some quick thoughts: I love the look of the desktop, and the UI tweaks that are available. I was able to get it to install.now the fun begins! After trying some other loads (doing research on the Intel Core 2 Duo/32bit EFI issue lead me here I could not get any loads from Matt Gadient's site to boot), I decided to go with MATE 20.04.

Please note that these are not official images but just those I made for myself and want to share for those who might find them helpful.įIrst off: Thanks for these loads! I was looking for an Ubuntu load to re-ignite an old Macbook 2.2 for a friend, that worked fine, but was stuck on OS 10.6.8. If there are any questions or requests for certain distros please let me know and I will answer them as soon as I am able to. It is a pretty simple thing to do and plan on doing it for all releases of Ubuntu MATE until it either doesn't work or performance on these systems suffers to the point of being unusable. If you're interested in how I did this I used and compiled the C program HERE following the guide HERE.

I have made the following ISOs for Ubuntu MATE 64bit that will boot and install without this issue.

For those of us with older Intel based Mac computers you might have come across the fact that the 64bit ISOs will not boot on these machines leaving you stuck at a black screen that you can't select boot 1 or 2.
