Bizzare that live ubuntu would appear - sounds like some mess-up with burning the CD/DVD imho.
On my Mac-mini (1.5GHz with A1048 keyboard) holding C does not work for boooting from CD (iirc, the booting process loaded the boot.img from the hard drive, then tried to boot the OS from the CD and failed).
As an alternative, you can boot holding the 'ALT' key which will bring up the boot selection screen. Then just select the optical drive icon to boot from the CD drive.
