    Lubuntu/Ubuntu dual boot

    Hello, I installed Lubuntu duel boot with Ubuntu 12.04. Everything went OK but when I rebooted there was no option to which program to use, it just started in Lubuntu. I still have all of my files but just can't see how to start Ubuntu.

    Thanks for your help.

    when you login you should be able to choose desktop type, if you choose unity or something like that you will get back into ubuntu.

    or if you really did a separate Lubuntu install then hold shift immediatelly on boot for grub to show up and then choose Ubuntu there.
    Read the easy to understand, lots of pics Ubuntu manual.
    Do i need antivirus/firewall in linux?

    Thanks I hold the shift and just for an instant I see Grub loading but and error on the screen wipes it out saying to change the video to 1280 X 1024 and that is what it's set for but it doesn't seem to reconize it and the error box wipes out the grub menu. I can change it to 800 X 600 and it does but goes back to 1280 X 1024 on a reboot. Bad video card maybe?

    Thanks,

    You can change it persistently according to these links

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gr...nu_Resolutions

    Change in the file /etc/default/grub

    Code:
    sudo nano /etc/default/grub
    Example: GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600

    Save the changed file and remember to run

    Code:
    sudo update-grub
