[QUOTE="The Technomance, post: 1209730, member: 196650"] Alright, so I know almost nothing about Linux, Ubuntu, or the more advanced parts of computers in general. I've been trying to get Ubuntu 10.04 working on my MB 5.1. I made the partitions, created a linux-swap partition and formatted the main one as EXT4, the entire Ubuntu installation went off without a hitch. But now I can't seem to boot into it. Every time I do, it boots into my Win7 partition instead. I've shut down my computer completely and restarted it, and whenever I select Ubuntu in rEFIt it boots to windows instead. I've blessed the Ubuntu partition, and checked that my partition tables are synced. One person on the Ubuntu forums posted with a similar problem a long time ago, and solved it by uninstalling and reinstalling rEFIt. No such luck for me. I really appreciate any help with this problem, its driving me nuts. But please tell me how to find anything you need to know explicitly. [/QUOTE]
