To install linux on the ps3 you need to first do a custom format and create a partition for linux. doing this deletes all the save files and downloaded data on your ps3. If you want to preserve this information then you must back it up to either an external harddrive or a thumbdrive. I will alsoaddthat you might have a slightly less stressing expericnce by using Yellow Dog Linux instead of Ubuntu on the ps3.
