Title:
  "EFI Boot" from livecd fails on Macbook Pro

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I performed the following actions on my Macbook pro:
  1. Started it with the alt-option key down to bring up the boot menu.
  2. Inserted the Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop CD.
  3. Selected the "EFI Boot" drive and it enter.
  4. GRUB was loaded, and I hit enter to select "Try Ubuntu w/o installing it".

  At this point the screen goes black and it seems the machine must be shut off with the power button.
