The Live CD should be useful on my Mac

[Pierre Slamich]

When inserting a Live CD into an iMac, it doesn't do a thing while booting.
When inserting a CD once logged into MacOSX , it doesn't do a thing either.
There should at least be a file for Mac users at the root of the disc, os possibly a dmg app that would explain the steps to do to install.
Or possibly a jailbreak-like tool to enable booting on the live CD.

Have you tried setting up booting from Cd in your bios?

I do not own a mac, but I tried the experience on a library computer, and there was no clue what to do to boot from CD. That's where an application that would autostart could come in handy.

Isn't that something that should be put on the agenda at some point ?

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Probably, but i'm not sure at 100%, in Natty will be fixed.

Pierre Slamich, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
