I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in a dual-boot config with Windows 8.1 following the instructions in this Ubuntu Forums post



(I added an ext4 /home partition.)



Even after step seven,




Write bcdedit /set {bootmgr} "pathEFIubuntushimx64.efi" in the terminal




my PC will not show me a boot menu: Windows boots automatically.



I ran the command sudo efibootmgr -v and this is the output.

As you have already found out, you probably have a functional entry for EFIubuntugrubx64.efi that seems to be labelled as Windows Boot Manager, which can be very confusing.



Possible solution



As I don't know of a method to rename these entries I suggest to remove this entry by running the following efibootmgr command:



efibootmgr -B 0001


Where 0001 is the number of the entry to delete and that should be changed according to current efibootmgr output.



To create a new entry run the folllowing command:



efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sdX -p Y -l EFIubuntugrubx64.efi -L "Ubuntu"



  • /dev/sdX should be changed to the actual device name that contains the Ubuntu partition and the EFI System Partition/ESP (it is recommended to have an ESP for each drive you want to boot from), most likely /dev/sda.

  • Y is the partition number of the ESP, most likely 1.



A possible workaround or recommended fallback could be to set up gummiboot.
