Hi folks,
I've been trying to set up an Ubuntu 16.04 partition on my MacBook Pro (2017). I've created a dedicated 100gig partition for it (diskutil below). However when I try to install Ubuntu from my USB disk image, the installer can only detect the USB hard drive - it can't see the internal drive. Same problem arises if I try fdisk -l. Any help or advice would be much appreciated!
