OSX Mavericks and Ubuntu 13.10 dualboot


First off, I am almost new to Linux and this is my first time installing as a dual boot.

So I followed the ubuntu walk-through but used the rEFInd tool. It seems to be working ok but its not as nice as I would like. I have multiple options. 1st one takes me to Ubuntu grub where I can pick OSX, Ubuntu new kernel and old ones. the 2nd option is OSX, the 3rd option boots ubuntu (skips grub) and the last few are older kernel versions.

When I uninstall rEFInd my only option to boot is a drive called EFI but it boots directly to OSX.

What I want to have for boot options.

I want it to automatically boot to OSX and when I hold down option I want my choices to be
1. Macintosh HD (It seems that EFI somehow replaced the Macintosh HD name, I would like to change it back.)
2. Boot to Ubuntu and skip the grub
3. Optional 3rd option that boots to Ubuntu grub

4. This can be an alternate option if the above is not possible. Boot to Ubuntu Grub where I can pick my boot option.
Please let me know if this is possible and how I can go about it.

Thank you!!
