# T2-Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
The ISOs from this repo should allow you to install Ubuntu without using an external keyboard or mouse on a T2 Mac.

Ubuntu ISO with Apple T2 patches built-in. Now we also support kubuntu thanks to [@lemmyg](https://github.com/lemmyg)!
|
|
|
|
Apple T2 drivers are integrated with this iso.
|
|
|
|
This repo is a rework of the great work done by [@mikeeq](https://github.com/mikeeq/mbp-fedora). It originally was [@marcosfad's mbp-ubuntu repo](https://github.com/marcosfad/mbp-ubuntu) and has been transferred to [t2linux](https://github.com/t2linux).
|
|
|
|
Kernel is being used from - <https://github.com/t2linux/T2-Debian-and-Ubuntu-Kernel>
|
|
|
|
Using additional patches to support T2 Macs - <https://github.com/t2linux/linux-t2-patches>
|
|
|
|
Bootloader is configure correctly out of the box. No workaround needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Reduce the size of the mac partition in MacOS
|
|
2. Download ISO file from releases.
|
|
3. Copy it to a USB using dd (or gdd if installed over brew):
|
|
```bash
|
|
diskutil list # found which number has the USB
|
|
diskutil umountDisk /dev/diskX
|
|
sudo gdd bs=4M if=ubuntu-20.04-5.6.10-mbp.iso of=/dev/diskX conv=fdatasync status=progress
|
|
```
|
|
4. Boot in Recovery mode and allow booting unknown OS
|
|
5. Restart and immediately press the option key until the Logo come up
|
|
6. Select "EFI Boot" (the third option was the one that worked for me)
|
|
7. Launch Ubuntu Live
|
|
8. Use Ubiquity to install (just click on it)
|
|
9. Select the options that work for you and use for the partition the following setup:
|
|
* Leave the efi boot as preselected by the installer, unless you require a [separate efi partition](https://wiki.t2linux.org/guides/windows/#using-seperate-efi-partitions).
|
|
* Add a ext4 partition and monted as `/`.
|
|
* Swap and other partitions are optional.
|
|
10. Run the installer.
|
|
11. Shutdown and remove the USB Drive.
|
|
12. Start again using the option key. Select the new efi boot.
|
|
13. Enjoy.

## Configuration
|
|
|
|
- See <https://wiki.t2linux.org/guides/wifi/>
|
|
- To install additional languages, install appropriate langpack via apt `sudo apt-get install language-pack-[cod] language-pack-gnome-[cod] language-pack-[cod]-base language-pack-gnome-[cod]-base `
|
|
- see https://askubuntu.com/questions/149876/how-can-i-install-one-language-by-command-line
|
|
- You can change mappings of ctrl, fn, option keys (PC keyboard mappings) by creating `/etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf` file and recreating grub config. All available modifications could be found here: <https://github.com/free5lot/hid-apple-patched>
|
|
```
|
|
# /etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf
|
|
options hid_apple swap_fn_leftctrl=1
|
|
options hid_apple swap_opt_cmd=1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## MISC
|
|
|
|
### Activate Grub Menu
|
|
|
|
For the people who want to have a menu, they can modify `/etc/default/grub` with the following changes:
|
|
```
|
|
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
|
|
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
|
|
```
|
|
and then:
|
|
`sudo update-grub`
|
|
|
|
## Update to newer kernels
|
|
|
|
Follow [this guide](https://github.com/t2linux/T2-Debian-and-Ubuntu-Kernel?tab=readme-ov-file#installation).
|
|
|
|
## Know issues
|
|
|
|
- Checksum is failing for 2 files: md5sum.txt and /boot/grub/bios.img
|
|
|
|
## Not working (Following the mikeeq/mbp-fedora)
|
|
|
|
- Dynamic audio input/output change (on connecting/disconnecting headphones jack)
|
|
- TouchID
|
|
- Thunderbolt (is disabled, because driver was causing kernel panics (not tested with 5.5 kernel))
|
|
- Microphone (it's recognised with new apple t2 sound driver, but there is a low mic volume amp)
|
|
|
|
## Known issues
|
|
|
|
- `ctrl+x` is not working in GRUB, so if you are trying to change kernel parameters - start your OS by pressing `F10` on external keyboard
