Ubuntu installer can't see Mac HDD
Solution 1:
I think I finally figured this out...
The NVMe storage used in the newer MacBooks isn't supported in the versions of the Linux kernel currently used in most distributions. This support wasn't added until kernel version 5.1.5, which won't be packaged with Ubuntu until version 19.10 (currently in beta using kernel version 5.2.0).
Right now the options seem to be:
- Make your own bootable image of your distro of choice using a kernel version of 5.1.5 or higher
- Used a pre-patched version of a distro (example)
- Wait for 19.10
