First of all, ubuntu 12.04(tested with mac specific iso and 64 bits) and grub 2(tested grub efi amd64 of course) do not acknowledge apple bluetooth keyboard(and mouse for ubuntu); installing blueman at ubuntu seems to be the only way to get both working on ubuntu, a very difficult process, which required an usb mouse because there are no working bluetooth apple devices; the issue is never fixed, only made less worse as shown below, please check these four threads for more information(the issue affect plenty of users, and has not been adressed properly since 2011?!):

If ubuntu gets control of mac keyboard and mouse, Os X lose it(and pre boot keyboard pairing cease to exist, no more pre boot hotkeys possible); if OS X have control of keyboard and mouse, ubuntu lose it; switching from one to another requires quite painfull keyboard and mouse redetection with blueman from ubuntu, or, at osx side, osx take quite some time to detect them again after an ubuntu login.
The mac ubuntu community is quite insatisfied with this issue, and demands a fix; of course we are ready to help the bug fix process somehow. |
