I have installed fresh windows 10 and installed ubuntu 18.04 in my HP pavilon laptop. now when I restart the computer , It automatically starts the windows 10.

so If I want ubuntu I need to reboot the system and hit f9 and brings up BOOTMANAGER with the following options

  • OS windows bootmanager
  • ubuntu

I select ubuntu it takes me to the GRUB which contains everything I want.

  • ubuntu
  • *advance option ubuntu
  • Windows .....

I would like when the laptop is restarted automatically it should display GRUB so that I can select which system I want to use currently.

what am I missing to get this work as I want?

  • Open UEFI settings, find the boot menu and where it says "windows bot manager" replace with "ubuntu". It's that simple.

  • You don't have BIOS, you have UEFI but yes, it does the same. And, like old BIOS, UEFI is unique to brand/model. Supposedly you were already there to change to boot the Ubuntu installer?

  • As previously commented, find the boot menu. Somewhere you'll see "windows boot loader", navigate to select it, usually with enter (but follow the specific instructions), the "ubuntu"option should appear, select it instead of windows, confirm. For detailed instructions consult your user's manual.

After gooogling I found solution for HP Pavilon

Boot to your ubuntu system and enter the following command via terminal

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

  • sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair

    launch Boot-Repair from either : the Dash (the Ubuntu logo at the top-left of the screen) or by typing 'boot-repair' in a terminal

    Then click the "Recommended repair" button. When repair is finished, note the URL (paste.ubuntu.com/XXXXX) that appeared on a paper, then reboot and check if you recovered access to your OSs. If the repair did not succeed, indicate the URL to people who help you by email or forum.

Warning: the default settings are the ones used by the "Recommended Repair". Changing them may worsen your problem. Don't modify them before creating a BootInfo URL, and asking for advice on Ubuntu Forums Absolute Beginners Section or in Installation and Upgrades.

NOTE: After launching the repair please just follow the default recommendation

reboot your system you should see a GRUB with all option u need
