     Until a couple of weeks ago I was dual-booting Mint & Ubuntu when I 
decided I wanted Ubuntu to be the default. After some searching I found 
a Gui called Startup-Manager; perhaps it was in the Mint repository? 
Anyway, it worked very nicely for changing the default boot. I just 
looked for it again, its not in the Ubuntu repository, probably because 
its not maintained anymore. If you're interested you can find it at 
https://launchpad.net/startup-manager & there is a .deb file linked from 
here: 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/startupmanager/1.9.13-5/+build/1851487

     Of course, if you use it be sure you know how to recover manually 
from any problems :)
