Had to be something related to the graphics drivers, but no idea how to fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it was back to the USB stick and another go at installing Juno with some different options.  I unchecked downloading updated and 3rd party drivers during the install selected the EXT partition for the boot files and tried again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still stuggling with a black screen and flashing cursor, although I was back to a GNU GRUB boot loader, so tried the advanced options and eventually managed to get to an elementary desktop.  I used the App Centre to install the nvidia-340 drivers and restarted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agh, now I don&#8217;t even get a cursor!  And in the wise words of Yoda &#8216;and this is why you fail&#8217;!  I&#8217;m not sure that in relation to my technical skills, or why Linux is never going to replace Windows as a desktop operating system for the masses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, I&#8217;m beaten!  Tried another few times but I can&#8217;t get elementary OS 5 Juno to a desktop reliably whatever I&#8217;ve tried.  I can still get to all the other OS&#8217;s installed, albeit they are pretty out of date now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>macOS 10.12.5<\/li><li>TrueOS 12.0<\/li><li>Mint 18.2<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve posted a comment on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/elementaryos\/comments\/dz1kyd\/juno_on_macbook_air_video_issues\/\">Reddit<\/a> and hopefully, someone has a solution, but for the time being, I&#8217;ve no elementary on my MacBook Air.  Not the end of the world, but a little disappointed that one of my favourite Linux desktop distributions is broken \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the continuing story of my elementary OS 5 Juno installation, and fixing rEFInd again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,2],"tags":[21],"class_list":["post-26686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-eos","category-it","tag-spellchecked"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
