Ubuntu 12.10 on 2012 MacBook Air 5.2
Raw
ubuntu-mba.sh
# I am currently using http://refit.sourceforge.net/ as my boot menu.
# Mac OS is installed on a tiny partition.
# I was able to create a USB stick with 12.10 using these instructions:
# https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick
# By restarting and holding option, I was able to boot into the Ubuntu installer
# (no refit needed for this step).
# The installation process went hitch-free.
# But after installation, the graphics card (Intel HD4000) was not recognized.
# So I did the following:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
