Recently I wiped OS X completely from my Macbook Air and installed Ubuntu 13.04 alone. This worked great because it even booted automatically into Ubuntu without needing to hold any keys.

Today, I ran the Ubuntu software update and apparently as the kernel and other things were updated, now it will boot directly into OS X recovery. Is there a way to fix this and boot into Ubuntu automatically again? I only have Ubuntu installed on this machine and I intend to keep it this way.

My Macbook Air is a 13' model 4,2 (late 2011)

Update: If I hold the Option key, I can choose the only HDD partition that is present and boot Ubuntu, but I'd like this to happen automatically.

Sounds like something went bad related to grub.

Boot to your Ubuntu installation and install and run boot-repair. Without knowing more details about how your system is installed (UEFI vs. Legacy, separate /boot partition etc.), its hard to give further advise. But check the help found at that page as well.

  • My installation is the default one from 13.04 that wipes everything from the hard drive. I will try your suggestion and report back, thanks!
