I have HP Envy-x360 15m-dr1012dx. I created an empty 100 gb partition for ubuntu. I am trying to install ubuntu 20.04. Whenever Ubuntu installation is complete the Grub menu won't appear laptop goes directly into windows boot loader. So i tried to manually boot from efi file "grubx64.efi" which is located in ubuntu folder(efi system partition). It gives me an error "The selected boot device failed. Press enter to continue." I don't know what I'm doing wrong or is it hp that has messed up the bios.

Did you install properly. Did you install both in the same boot mode? Is Ubuntu 1st in boot sequence in firmware settings. Also why didn't you use install alongside windows option. How did you do the partitioning with the something else option. Give us Info. – VidathD May 10 '20 at 12:33

Make sure that ubuntu is first in boot sequence. It sounds like that is the problem. I personally keep ubuntu 2nd as I use windows most. You should still be able to access ubuntu by going to boot options (probably F12).Please reply to comments so we can help. – VidathD May 11 '20 at 07:50

Taking in account of the device you're using is a laptop with a single hard drive installed, Non-booting Linux has multiple reasons to fail booting, Let's just narrow down out options here, Say, Have you partitioned the the Linux installation with appropriate sda swaps and root drives it needs? Did it booted into the Linux system the first time after the installation? – Sid May 08 '20 at 17:48

I did create partition for swap, root and home of 6gb, 20gb and 74gb respectively. And no it does not boot into linux it boots directly into windows. The ubuntu installation is successful every time. – aniket patil May 09 '20 at 02:58

Alright, As far as I know, While installing ubuntu, it must have asked you to choose whether to sideload and dual-boot it with windows or not. What did you choose? – Sid May 10 '20 at 16:04

I chose something else it is working now. I did a very silly mistake – aniket patil May 11 '20 at 11:45
