I know the below writen information is not 100% related to the orignal bug but still very relevant
..to give people hope on enjoying Ubuntu 10.04 on their MacBookPro (5,2)
I write this in the case the final 10.04 release CD would still not work.
Then there still would be a path to 10.04 via upgrading a fully working 9.10
On Karmic 9.10, I'm a happy camper now since,
* Wifi via restricted STA drivers works well
* Videocard Nvidia Driver 185.x works well, albeit restricted *<:o)
* Magic Mouse Basic works, needs tweaking, had no time yet. See http://github.com/entrope/linux-magicmouse
* Bluetooth thus also works... ;)
* Sound works well, I've adjusted the Ubuntu wiki instructions
* iSight camera, a quick test showed picture, for testing I instaled
cheese (sudo apt-get install cheese)
Now I will see if we can upgrade to Lucid Lynx 10.04 Beta 1, a bold move...
So far, the original bug remains...well... bugging us. Cannot install Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 Beta 1 direct booted from CD on latest Modern MAC Powerbook Pro 5,2 :-( IMHO indeed critical.
