GRUB Help

From Eliter · Jan 04, 2021

Hello,
 So I recently got a new laptop--HP Pavilion x360--and so I installed Windows (only giving it 100GB), then once the Windows was done installing, I installed Ubuntu Desktop 20.04.
 Usually whenever I install Windows, then Ubuntu, it auto-magically installs GRUB, so I see the GRUB menu when the system boots up, and I have the option to select Ubuntu or Windows (and it times out after a few seconds and defaults to Ubuntu). However, my system doesn't appear to be doing that, it just boots up to Windows and doesn't show the GRUB menu. I have to tap F9 and specifically choose Ubuntu if I want to boot up Ubuntu.

Any solutions? Also, when is the next time I can bring the laptop with me and you guys can take a look at it?

Thanks,
Eli D.

Eli,

I may be wrong here but... 

1. You should have 2 partitions one with win and the other one with linux and grub2
2. Just got to uefi and changed the boot order so linux with grub2 is first.
3.

From Rex Bouwense · Jan 05, 2021

If it is merely a matter of the GRUB menu not visible at start up (which it appears to be), it should be a simple matter of editing the config file.  Open a terminal and type:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Then change GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE from hidden to menu
Ctrl O to save and Ctrl X to exit

sudo update-grub

Then reboot.  Unless you have not told us everything, that should solve your problem.  However, there are other problems that may lurk in the future
