Hello,
I decided to dual boot Ubuntu alongside OS X a couple of days ago without success. I put in my Ubuntu DvD and the boot menu comes up looking exactly like the picture below but without the Linux icon which from what I understood is needed to boot into Linux. I have a partition set up for Ubuntu and according to rEFIt, they are in synch.
I'm not sure if this is needed, but here it is anyway. What I get from running the Partition Inspector:
*** Report for internal hard disk ***
Current GPT partition table:

The DvD is brand new with an ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso that I've verified at least 5 times.
I hope this is just a simple mistake on my part as my ISP is having a problem with the signal strength and it took me 4 hours to download Ubuntu.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me fix this.
