not booting ubuntu on macbook (solved, it was weird, any idea why this happened?) [closed]
I am running Ubuntu on a 2009 Macbook pro. I had no problems for months.
I have an SSD and an HDD, my home directory is on the HDD, the rest of the filesystem is on the SSD.
My laptop first forgot how to turn on, only the front lamp turned on and the fan would spin, then it just stopped working. I had this problem till I opened it disconnected and then reconnected the battery.
I was able to get to GNU Grub after this but every time I tried to boot Ubuntu the laptop would just stop working and turn off. I got the error: system bootOrder not found.
I was unable to boot from a usb drive because the laptop didnt recognize it.
I was able to enter the console in Grub and list out the partitions with the ls command to see if I can access them but I was unable to boot Ubuntu till I entered the partitions manually with a command ls (hd1, gpt1)/ where I could see the file system.
After entering all the partitions manually my laptop suddenly recognized where to boot from and was able to do so. Everything works fine.
I make this post for anybody who has this problem because I didn't find any solutions for it online.
Any idea why I had this problem? The laptop was turned off without problems before I got this.
Thanks!

I am unclear what the answer is. If you have indeed solved this issue, you should that remove that from your question and post that as an answer. And perhaps even add that bit on why you don’t understand what you did.
