I've recently installed Ubuntu 15.10 on a partition of a Macbook Pro. I'm trying to get access to my OSX partition files on the Ubuntu partition. I really just want to play music- pretty simple I thought. But now I'm worried there might be an issue with my mac partition or something. the partition does not auto mount as a read only device in Ubuntu 15.10. I have made the directory /mnt/mac.
Running a simple sudo mount /dev/sda2 command gives me:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
I've installed hfsplus and hfsutils and ran:
sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda2 /mnt/mac
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sda2 /mnt/mac
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.

I don't care to write files to my mac so don't find it necessary to remove journaling and such...or is that still necessary just to mount my mac partition as read only?
it seems like this information is commonly asked for in threads related to mounting issues:
sudo fdisk -l

Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm rather new with Ubuntu.
