MBP New SSD aims to set up Ubuntu but encounters boot issues.
You installed an SSD on your MacBook Pro 8.1 without a traditional HDD, and after updating to Ubuntu everything worked fine until you tried to boot. The system displayed a question mark folder, indicating a potential issue with the installation or boot process. It might be helpful to check the disk setup options, ensure all components are properly connected, and verify that your macOS version is compatible with the SSD type you used. If the problem persists, consider reinstalling macOS or consulting the official support resources.
