The following steps have been tested on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 and I confirm I was able to boot GParted on a 2019 MacBook Air (with secure boot disabled). That being said, the keyboard and trackpad didn’t work as drivers on live distros. Also, the new T2 chip currently prevents live distros from accessing the SSD (another driver issue).Step 1: Open Disk Utility.Step 2: Click on View (upper left) and select Show All Devices.Step 3: Select your thumb drive and click Erase.Step 4: Select MS-DOS (FAT) as Format and GUID Partition Map as Scheme.Step 5: Click Erase.Step 6: Download the latest.Step 7: Double-click on gparted-live-1.0.0-3-amd64.zip to unzip folder.Step 8: Copy all files from gparted-live-1.0.0-3-amd64 to your thumb drive.You now have a bootable version of GParted that should work on your Mac!
Kali Linux Bootable USB with Persistence and Wireless on OSXDownload the appropriate Kali Linux.iso. Download site:I used a 64 bit.iso image, downloaded via HTTP.
I booted from the USB backup disk and used iPartition application to restore the Macintosh HD on the built-in HDD to it's maximum capacity. IPartition let me to delete the secondary 15 GB Boot Camp partition and then resize the primary Mac OS X Extended partition to occupy the whole disk space.
I downloaded the amd64 weekly version, as the pool linux headers (needed below for installation of wireless drivers) were ahead of the stable release kernel.Download the SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.gpg files from the same location.Check the hashCheck that the hashes were not tampered with. First, get the Kali GPG public key, and verify the fingerprint. $ wget -q -O - gpg -import$ gpg -fingerprint 7D8D0BF6pub rsa4096 2012-03-05 SC expires: 2018-02-0244C6 513A 8E4F B3D3 0875 F758 ED44 4FF0 7D8D 0BF6uid unknown Kali Linux Repository sub rsa4096 2012-03-05 E expires: 2018-02-02$ gpg -verify SHA256SUMS.gpg SHA256SUMSgpg: Signature made Sun 12 Nov 03: GMTgpg: using RSA key 44C6513A8E4FB3D30875F758ED444FF07D8D0BF6gpg: Good signature from 'Kali Linux Repository ' unknownCompare the SHA256 hash with that reported in SHASUMS. $ echo '/ union ' /mnt/myusb/persistence.conf$ umount Check the persistent partition. Restart the Mac. Hold down the Option key when you hear the chime.
Select EFI as the startup disk. Select Kali Linux (persistence).
At the terminal:. df -h will bring up a list of mounted drives. There should be a mountpoint /lib/live/mount/persistence/ pointing to your new persistent partition. ls -ltrh /lib/live/mount/persistence/ should show four entries: lost+found, persistence.conf, rw, and work. The rw directory is a persistent link to /.Update the OSUpdate the installer and acquire the appropriate linux headers. I also can not find unallocated partition.To everyone having the issue of not finding the 'unallocated' space of their USB, the solution that worked for me is the following:.
instead of gparted, open disk. choose the drive you're working on. you will find there the free space: hit + and make it a partition. You can make it an.ext4, you'll change it in a second.
format and make it an.ext3 partition with the proper label: run mkfs.ext3 -L persistence /dev/yourdiskname then run e2label /dev/yourdiskname persistence. from here, you can start again following the tutorial (from paragraph Combine the new partition with Kali Linux, persistently), one of the best i've found onlineHope it helps, it worked for me.
