Hello all, I've recently decided to make the swap to Ubuntu from my Mac OS. The reason being I hate wasting HDD space on installing windows just to run games/necessary programs. In any case, I made my Ubuntu disc and am currently posting this from the "Try before you install" selection.
I have a few questions/problems.
I'm currently running the installer again in the background. When it brought up the partitioner, it listed my HDD as solely devoted to sdc1/2 or whatever. Ubuntu was not on the HDD at all. The installer says it is partitioning my HDD to contain these scripts/files/whatever in a minimal amount and giving me mostly Ubuntu. Is this going to work?
- I installed Ubuntu earlier today. Before I installed it, I ran DBAN and erased any remnants of Mac's OS. After installing Ubuntu, I rebooted my computer and I was met with the "OS not found" screen my Mac produces when I have no OS. Basically I had a flashing folder with a question mark on it. I found this strange, as I'd gone through the whole installation.
- I have a built-in iSight camera. Does this work with Ubuntu?
- How in the hell do I right-click using the 2,1 Macbook? I've found users saying f12 or the apple key, but none of these work for me.
- Is there any way for me to reconfigure the keyboard to function using the apple key instead of control. I loved my Mac's keyboard layout and set up and it saddens me to lose it.
- Is there a way to do 2-finger-scroll on the touch pad like with Macs? I find the side-of-the-pad-scrolling to be frustrating since my track pad is so large.
Those are my main concerns. I appreciate any help you can offer and apologize if I'm reposting something you folks have answered hundreds of times.
