Welcome. Easiest (laziest) is to see the first entry of the grub menu; 
that's where the bootloader is from.

It appears you have not installed GAG yet, so the mbr is still from 
ubuntu - sda1. I don't know if GAG can now boot into grub2 directly, or 
if that fails, you can always use chainload (I think there's a chainload 
facility)

Good luck and take care - Goh Lip
