Ubuntu
grub2 package

I am only able to boot from Ubuntu, not my normal Mac account.

Asked by Barbie D

I recently installed Ubuntu, with the intention of using both Ubuntu and my normal Mac interface. However, I have only been able to boot from Ubuntu, and am not given the option to boot from Mac. How do I get my old interface back? I accept that I probably lost all of my files, but I just want to be able to get the old interface, and hopefully programs, back. Thanks in advance!

Can you give the output of:

sudo fdisk -l; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Because my internet isn't working on my computer, I have to copy the output. Sorry for the screwed up formatting:
