When your computer launches OS X, does the ubuntu partition show up on the desktop or something? Sounds like you didnt install it correctly.

no it doesn't show up...
when i start up my computer it brings
up the blue apple n question mark like its trying to read it or something.
but then starts up on os x

When you install Ubuntu on a mac usually it'll give you a Text-Based menu that allows you to choose Ubuntu or Mac OS X. I think it may use the LILO Bootloader or maybe GRUB, one of the two. You should get a menu like in the image below. I would suggest using a different version of linux or an updated version.

<--- Granted it won't look like that, but with the older version it should look like something to that effect.

that doesn't pop up..
i might just need a newer version...
do you have any in mind?
or should i just goto the site?
thanks for the help.

I read a while ago that PPC Macs require a specific bootloader (other than lilo and GRUB) to even consider booting Linux. If you get it to work then you won't see a drive on your desktop because Mac OS X can't read the ext file systems.

 

[YoungMmoee]

if thats true.
does any one know how i can get this..
(specific bootloader)...

 

[YoungMmoee]

ok is there another way to do it...
like if i install ubuntu over tiger...
could i then install tiger again to run both ubuntu + tiger?
