I recently installed ubuntu (dual boot with windows).
I want to boot windows automatically unless I manually choose ubuntu.
I use grub and startupmanager (yes I know obsolete). I am running ubuntu 14.04 and windows 7.
Can someone tell the procedure to do this?
Press Ctrl+Alt+T, type gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub press Enter and enter your password.
You will see the following contents:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
You can change the default from 0 to any number, corresponding to the entry in the Grub bootup menu (first entry is 0, second is 1, etc.)
Then run sudo update-grub
Important: To get grub file in /etc/default/grub if not exist, run this command:
sudo apt-get install grub2 grub-pc
Then run
sudo update-grub
