And you wont be able to access the XMB without rebooting.

To get the resolution. :
at kboot: <- prompt  
type ps3videomode -v3 , there are various numbers, you can find a good resolution you like.  

3, 4, 8, 9, 35, 36, or 40 / 41 , out of these, choose the one you like best.  
once you find the best resolution just hit enter and let ubuntu start,  
after its started and running , open terminal and type  

sudo nano /etc/event.d/ps3videomode  

This will start the console text editor nano with an empty file called ps3videomode in the event d folder. In this file, type:  

start on runlevel 2  
exec /usr/bin/ps3videomode -v0 <- replace the 0 with that suitable resolution number that you typed in at the kboot prompt.  
after that  

hit Ctrl + o <- the letter O and hit Enter to confirm, then Ctrl + x to exit nano  
now reboot your ubuntu and hopefully if everything was done correctly at nano you will be running ubuntu with your preferred resolution  

You can go back to the XMB, open terminal from top menus and type following  
code:  
sudo boot-game-os  

Enter your password, hit enter, and it should boot back to the XMB.  
Also you can turn off the system and hold the power button until it loads back in the XMB.  

If you have any other questions, just pm me.

Use Nero to burn the .iso

And you wont be able to access the XMB without rebooting.

Ah, Okay, that was kinda dumb I should have known that, found it in the options.

First, to do the .iso image on the CD, you have to open Nero, and there should be an option to burn .iso to a CD.
Once you do that, make sure you partition the PS3's hard drive. You can allot 10GB to the Ubuntu, or 10GB to the PS3. Then you insert the CD, and go the settings menu, and select install other OS. Once you do that then it should be installing to the hard drive.
