I recently installed Leap 15.5 on my Macbook pro. I partintoned my 500gb with a 450gb for macOS High Sierra and an extra 40gb blank for something else. I tried Lion but it was lame, so I erased it again, and put Leap 15.5 on it. It was an easy install and Leap defaulted to live on 40gb partition automatically which was nice.
At present, grub doesn’t really know macOS exists, so when I turn my 2011 2.3 17" MBP with a janky AMDgraphics chip (repaired the chip in macOS by removing the 9500 and the 10000 driver and forcing my macbook to use the 9000 driver which works perfectly now --yay!), my computer boots and operates Leap perfectly. But I want to boot High Sierra automatically. So how do I tell grub that macOS exists on this computer and to boot it first?
How do I make my user have to enter their password? (it automatically logs in and I think that’s why I have to log back out to activate my WiFi)
How do I get access to the macOS partition to read and write files?
YaST-> Users and Groups-> Expert options->Login settings
Uncheck “Auto login”
Thanks, that solved the WiFi problem.
@eanicsi You can’t grub can’t handle the MacOS filesystem… you need to go to the boot menu (option key) and select from there… Or use something like rEFIt… I find the key press is better…
Last time I played with iMac and Macbook grub most certainly could handle MacOS filesystem. grub macos loader is indeed outdated and could not boot MacOS since ages, but chainloading MacOS EFI loader worked in my testing. One can simply create /boot/grub2/custom.cfg to do it.
It is possible that something changed since I had tried it.
Leap’s Grub is how I usually get my 2007 iMac’s MacOS started. Sometimes after an update it will force me to use the option key to get started one or more times before settling back into Grub working as expected. Occasionally it will produce 15.1’s grub menu instead of 15.5’s, but it boots whatever OS I select, same as 15.5’s.
