How do I install Ubuntu alongside a pre-installed Windows with UEFI?
12 answers
Everything went well during installation, I created a 50GB partition for Linux, chose the "Install alongside windows 10" Option, because "something else" did not work for me before. However, after rebooting, it boots directly into Windows 10. I've tried going to the BIOS to change the BOOT order but Ubuntu doesn't even show up there, I tried opening the boot menu (pressing f12 key on my laptop during reboot) and the only option there is windows boot manager, which also boots to win 10.
I tried boot-repair and it said it repaired succesfully but the problem still remains. Here's the report: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zkWJMFpJwb/
My computer runs on UEFI and I've already disabled secure boot. I also tried Legacy boot but no luck there either.
Please help, I can't figure out how to get the Grub menu, so I can actually choose which system I want to boot.

If it's an Acer computer, you have to follow the procedure here: Acer Aspire E15 will not dual boot
If Ubuntu is already installed, you should just do steps from 2 to 16 (not all of them, only what's in your BIOS and is different from what's written there), and, most important, steps from 34 to 43. There is a small mistake in step 40, you have to write grubx64efi without the dot.
You should also do this to make the touchpad work, if it's a laptop Just installed ubuntu on an acer latop and now the touchpad wont work. How do i fix this?

Install GRUB on /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda(x) like this :
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
Normally this should fix your problem, if not you can use bootrepair again.
Also you can use GRUB Customizer to edit the bootloader.
It should be like this :

Looking at the provided boot-repair output, this is already the case. It isn't that easy any more in times of UEFI and Win 10.

As far as i can see, he has /boot on a vfat instead of ext4 also grub is on sda6 instead of sda. Also i dont see a root mount point.
– An0n
Feb 17 at 22:59
No, it says ` => Grub2 (v1.99-2.00) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda` and sda1 is the EFI partition, whereas sda6 is Ubuntu's root partition containing its grub.cfg config file. That is all fine.
– Byte Commander
Feb 17 at 23:03
Also i dont think this is correct : ` echo ; echo Grub is now loading the Windows EFI Boot Manager chainloader $efibootmgr `so i still recommend to reinstall the bootloader on /dev/sda
– An0n
Feb 17 at 23:12
That is completely fine, it's part of the definitions for the menu entries for Windows inside GRUB. Your screenshots show the configuration for a system in Legacy BIOS mode, but the OP obviously has an UEFI system. Please don't blindly apply methods for one onto the other, they are inherently different!
