I have been trying to dual boot OS X and Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro 7,1 and have found a few issues. First of all, I am using this guide. <http://lifehacker.com/5934942/how-to-dual-boot-linux-on-your-mac-and-take-back-your-powerhouse-apple-hardware> I have just installed Ubuntu and rebooted. I saw GRUB instead of rEFIt. When selecting Ubuntu and logging in, I get graphical glitches.

The glitches vary, and sometimes I get one before I hit the login screen.

When I try to boot OS X I get this:

However, I can get a terminal working nice!

So, my questions are: how do I get Ubuntu to work without graphic issues and how can I get OS X to boot again and preferably use rEFIt as the guide intended to boot the 2?

Quick Update: I have successfully booted OS X 10.8! I held option when starting, selected my OS X hard drive and from there it started rEFIt. I selected OS X and it booted as normal! Now I just need Ubuntu to work correctly.

Update 2: rEFIt now appears on startup, and the only issues is the Ubuntu graphics. If I can get unity to start correctly, and all the graphics to be displayed nicely, I'll be good. Yay, progress!

Update 3: In the process of reinstalling Ubuntu.
