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.
