Quick question regarding the installation:
I've used this guide, since it gives instruction to have an installation w/o refit/refind: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro11-1/Saucy
Installation process went w/o trouble. This is where I'm stuck:
A few notes:
Even though I've created two new partitons from within OSX at the end of the hdd, installation would not give the option to install "Alongside with MacOS"; so I went for manual:
/dev/sda4 is swap (no option to format); /dev/sda5 is root (formatted to ext4)
Make sure /dev/sda1 is mounted as /boot/efi (an EFI boot partition)
It was not possible to specify a mountpoint here, however it was recognized as EFI boot partition in the Edit Partition dialogue.
How to proceed with efibootmgr? I'm still in the original boot-from-live-CD-session

- Enter live mode (i.e. "Try Ubuntu"). You need to perform post-installation checks and fixes.
- Click "Install Ubuntu" to start installation. Follow the instructions. When it asks you for how to install onto the disk, you could choose to install "Alongside with MacOS" or choose the last option to set up the partitions yourself. Make sure /dev/sda1 is mounted as /boot/efi (an EFI boot partition).
- After installation, do NOT restart. We need to fix the EFI boot order information. Open a terminal, and type the following
Code:sudo apt-get install efibootmgr
sudo efibootmgr
Code:
kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ sudo efibootmgr
Fatal: Couldn't open either sysfs or procfs directories for accessing EFI variables.
Try 'modprobe efivars' as root.
kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ sudo modprobe efivars
kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ sudo efibootmgr
