Installed Fedora along side Ubuntu

[GreenSkyChris]

Hi, wasn't sure whether to post this here or the red hat forum but basically I have an install of Ubuntu 9.04 and installed Fedora along side it.

The Fedora install is encrypted and my Ubuntu home folder is encrypted.

I dont get to chose between them at start up and boots fedora straight away and asks for my encryption password to load it up. How can i get it so i can chose between them?

Another thing, i can access the Ubuntu partition through nautilus but not my home directory as it is encrypted, is there anyway i can access it? (i know the password).

Thanks.

I believe Fedora doesn't autodetect other operating systems, so when you overwrote the MBR with the Fedora bootloader, it ignored your Ubuntu install. You can either reinstall Ubuntu's bootloader, GRUB2, or you can add Ubuntu to your Fedora bootloader.

The same guide for recovering Ubuntu after installing Windows will do you for Fedora.

The Arch Wiki has a lot of good info on grub-legacy, which is what Fedora uses. Outside of how to install, nothing there looks distro-specific.

EDIT: Sorry, I don't use encrypted partitions, so I can't really help there. This should be of use though.

Thanks, that will come in handy.
