I just installed Ubuntu and I used this guide: How do I install Ubuntu? (the first answer).

So fast forward to number 13 it's installed and I had this problem with UEFI already that my PC automatically boots into Windows. As far as I understand that part in number 13 fixes exactly this problem.

Well, I didn't enter those commands as soon as it was installed and re-booted Ubuntu (the only option was "Restart Now" :$). Now what do I do? I tried to write those commands in terminal but this is what I got: 

Copy:
cp: cannot stat '/target/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access '{efi}/ubuntu/shim*.efi': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat '/target/boot/efi/EFI/boot/shim.efi': No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong? Is it too late now to use those commands? Thanks for your help in advance!

  • I believe those commands only work if you choose to continue testing as it then is using all the default mount points the installer has for the ESP - efi system partition. What brand/model system? Some fixes work better or are different by brand/model system. Some standard work arounds: http://askubuntu.com/questions/486752/dual-boot-win-8-ubuntu-loads-only-win/486789#486789 – oldfred Nov 18 '16 at 16:57
  • If you can boot you ubuntu somehow, just forget the /target part. During installation the newly installed system is mounted on /target; when you are running it, it's of course mounted on /. Never enter a command without understanding what it does. – AlexP Nov 18 '16 at 16:58
  • @AlexP thanks, but it still can't access '{efi}/ubuntu/shim*.efi' and '/boot/efi/EFI/boot/shim.efi'. Any ideas what to do? – Alexander Donets Nov 18 '16 at 17:30
  • Then restart the system from the installation media using Test Ubuntu, open a terminal and recreate the installer environment -- that is, mount your root file system on /target, your boot partition (if any) on /target/boot, your EFI partition on /target/boot/efi, then mount --bind the special filesystems /dev, /proc, /run and /sys on /target/dev, /target/proc, /targer/run and /target/sys. This will make the system look like it looked just before the installation ended. – AlexP Nov 18 '16 at 17:45
