From RK:

I have successfully installed Ubuntu Mate 16.04 LTS on my Mac Mini as a dual boot system. I also got rEfind installed manually on my Mac. The thing is that rEfind can't seam to boot Ubuntu. I did figure out how to boot into it from a recovery boot in Advanced Systems. I have it all setup, and it is working well, except for that. Do you have any sage advice that could help me solve that boot up problem?

RK Fixed:

I can't believe it, but I solved the problem myself. I was searching the Internet, and I saw the word "nomodeset". I used that command to launch the live disk. I thought,,, "Of course". I found a web page that told me how to edit my grub file to make it permanent, and ... It worked!!! Hooray!

Contact me if you enjoy it.

I love Linux but don't like playing movies or music because the audio out is not normalized and I have manually adjust the volume levels constantly. In Windows I use K Lite codec pack which has a plugin option to normalize the main audio out, but I can't seem to find a way to do this in Linux. Any help will be gr(continued)
