I initially followed this guide. I installed rEFInd. I booted from my USB, installed Ubuntu, but when I try to boot into Ubuntu, I get a black screen with a blinking _ and nothing really happens. Pleas help.

It would also be fine if you could show me a way to wipe OSX and install Ubuntu. Athough, i know i wont be getting any firmware updates later on.

The system is unbootable because the Mac bootloader expects the EFI partition to be formatted as HFS+, the typical Mac filesystem, while the Ubuntu installer actually formats it as VFAT.

Refer to my earlier answer for detailed steps to install Ubuntu properly on a Mac.
