I'm trying to install 14.04 through a USB stick. I plugged the usb stick in and got all the way through the installation process but after I rebooted and tried to load in through Grub I got just a blank screen. So then I put noapic at the end of the line that starts with vmlinuz after pressing e at the grub menu.
(I followed this guide: http://www.maketecheasier.com/install-dual-boot-ubuntu-in-macbook-air)
But now when I try to load ubuntu from the grub menu all I get is a black screen with a cursor. What do i do?
edit: I reinstalled 14.04 and this time i installed refind with it. For some reason it had an option when I clicked to load into Ubuntu from refind screen that it loaded in automatically if I didn't do anything for 10 seconds. It actually loaded in and I was able to install drivers and get updates on everything. But now that I shut my laptop off for the night I'm back at the beginning.. I can't get back into Ubuntu..
edit 2: after running partition inspector I got this:
