Please have a look at the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/DocArchitecture|Mactel Documentation Overview]] and [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/DocGuidlines|Mactel Documentation Guidelines]].|| ||Quick Links: || || || [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro|MacBookPro]] || || [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir|MacBookAir]] || [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages|Mactel community help pages]] || = Installing Ubuntu on a MacBook = [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages|{{attachment:IconsPage/index.png|up}}]] {{attachment:MacBook4-1/Intrepid/MacBooksmall.png}} == About == This page helps you to find the right documentation, when you want to install '''Ubuntu''' on a '''Mac``Book'''. == Determine your hardware revision == To determine which version / generation of Mac``Book you have, you can ... {{attachment:OSX.png}} either click in OS X on the Apple on the top left, then "About this Mac" -- "More Info...", see the generation in the "Model Identifier" row; or ... {{attachment:IconsPage/ubuntu.png}} ... under Ubuntu, you can find out what model you have, by typing at the terminal: {{{ sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name }}} {{attachment:IconsPage/terminal.png}} A terminal is opened by going to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal. It will tell you something like ''Mac``Book``4,1'' for example. == MacBook Hardware Revisions and Ubuntu version-specific wikis == Now choose the link to the wiki of your hardware revision and the Ubuntu version you are looking for. If you haven't decided yet, what version you like to install: We recommend to '''install the latest official Ubuntu version'''. If there is no such a wiki available, ask for help in the [[http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=328|support forum]]! * [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook1-1 |MacBook 1,1]]: * [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook2-1 |MacBook 2,1]]: * [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook3-1 |MacBook 3,1]]: * [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook4-1 |MacBook 4,1]]: * [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook5-1 |MacBook 5,1]]: * [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook5-1/Trusty|Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr)]] * [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook5-2 |MacBook 5,2]]: * [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook5-3 |MacBook 5,3]]: * [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook6-1 |MacBook 6,1]]: * [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook7-1 |MacBook 7,1]]: ---- CategoryMac ---- ||{{attachment:IconsPage/users.png}}<
