Hello all,
I have tried to follow the directions found here and on IRC to install Ubuntu 12.04.2 from a live CD with no joy.
So, I opted to try the live USB installation using unetbootin. Some joy.
12.04.2 is indeed installed on my hard drive. But when booting, I go directly to Windows 8. GRUB never appears.
To get to Ubuntu, I must interrupt the boot process and choose 'Boot Options'. Ubuntu is an option on that screen.
When I highlight and choose that option, I am taken straight to GRUB with the various Ubuntu choices as well as Windows 8.
The question is, 'How do I make that "Ubuntu" option the default when I power up my machine.
Any and all requests for further information will be cheerfully complied with. TIA for your time and help on this issue.
Also, apologies if this thread exists elsewhere and I am rehashing a solved problem.
