I installed Ubuntu on win 8 machine and it was dual boot option and now I donot see the dual boot screen to select which OS to boot and only windows is booting up automatically.

How do I fix this?

  • Does pressing the Esc key give you an option to see the dual boot screen? Please check the following link. http://askubuntu.com/questions/327676/dual-boot-menu-with-ubuntu-and-windows-8-not-showing-up – and Apr 30 '15 at 06:24

Try boot-repair, by booting into Ubuntu from Live-USB or Live-DVD.

Install 'boot repair' with Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) by typing the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair

Run/Open 'boot-repair':

sudo boot-repair

Click on 'Recommended repair' and write on a piece of paper the new URL that will appear.

Finally, reboot your PC!

Boot into your ubuntu system then locate and check:

/boot/grub/grub.cfg

See if it contains the both operating systems (Ubuntu and Windows).

Run from the terminal:

sudo update-grub

Reboot the system and see if you can boot into your OS.
