While booting, windows automatically gets started.
To use Ubuntu I have to restart by pressing the [Shift] key to get the grub menu.
Please help me fix the problem so that I can get the grub menu at startup.

Is Windows pre-installed? Then it is UEFI and you have to change boot order in UEFI. But some vendors only let you change to boot Windows entry. What brand/model system? http://askubuntu.com/questions/486752/dual-boot-win-8-ubuntu-loads-only-win/486789#486789 and: http://askubuntu.com/questions/507013/windows-8-1-changes-boot-order and: http://askubuntu.com/questions/244261/how-do-i-get-my-hp-laptop-to-boot-into-grub-from-my-new-efi-file – oldfred Nov 26 '14 at 04:54

Warning: You're going to edit grub (the boot manager) Don't change anything else then the lines mentioned in this post without further research first!
Once you're in Ubuntu, just open a terminal Ctrl+Alt+T
Type into the terminal:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change the following line where iNumberOfseconds is the number of seconds you want to see the grub menu:
GRUB_TIMEOUT="iNumberOfSeconds"
If you want to see the countdown, change the value "true" to "false"
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET="false"
Then hit Ctrl+X to exit and then Y and Enter to save.
Next time you boot, no need to press Shift any more to boot to Ubuntu.

You may add
ctrl+oto save andctrl+xto exit. Or replace nano with gedit or something GUIish. But +1 for that clean and good answer. – Kev Inski Jan 18 '16 at 17:28 -
