Hi!
My raspberry pi 2 boots ok from NOOBS. However, if I put the official ubuntu raspberry pi image on the sd card, it boots to a rainbow screen, and stays there. A lot of places say to add "boot_delay=1" to the config.txt, however this does not work in my case. Any ideas? Thanks!

There is no Official Ubuntu release, it is a Community Supported Distribution, did you download from:

https://ubuntu-pi-flavour-maker.org

https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

displays a picture representing Ubuntu Mate. Whether or not that makes it "official" is, I suppose, open to debate.

Note, BTW, that there is some discrepancy between what is displayed on the official downloads page vs. what is displayed in NOOBS/PINN. I think Ubuntu Mate is on the downloads page but not in NOOBS/PINN. Arch is the opposite; it is in NOOBS/PINN, but not on the official downloads page.

WINO IOT is on both.

In the link I posted it states:

Tasty Ubuntu fillings for the Raspberry Pi 2 and Raspberry Pi 3
A community project to make Ubuntu based operating systems for the Raspberry Pi 2 and Raspberry Pi 3.

In the link I posted it states:

So? Your point being?

Seriously, I have no idea what you think your post means.

You queried that I stated that Ubuntu was not Official

So... Is there any way for install Ubuntu MATE on NOOBS multiboot on a Raspberry Pi 3?

NoobS allows one to add an OS not included, it is somewhere in the ReadMe:

You mean "How to create a custom OS version" section, right?

But it doesnt work for Ubuntu because I dont have json or tar.xz files when I download UbuntuMate from ubuntu site, I only get a zip file contains an img file.

The "How to create a custom OS" section explains how you would create the .json and .tar.xz files and other supplementary files in a suitable manner for NOOBS/PINN from the original .img files.
In the NOOBS wiki there is a more detailed explanation of how to do it for Ubuntu Mate.
