Interesting. I tried to modify the boot order using: root@malou-vaio:/home/malou# efibootmgr --bootorder 0001,0002,2001 BootCurrent: 0001 Timeout: 0 seconds BootOrder: 0001,0002,2001 Boot0001* Ubuntu Boot0002* Windows Boot Manager Boot2001* EFI USB Device
And it *seems* to be persistent: root@malou-vaio:/home/malou# efibootmgr BootCurrent: 0001 Timeout: 0 seconds BootOrder: 0001,0002,2001 Boot0001* Ubuntu Boot0002* Windows Boot Manager Boot2001* EFI USB Device BUT, _immediately_ after I `reboot` the machine I still get Win8 booted up by default. After I reboot back into Ubuntu using the workaround, I can see that the boot order has changed with Win8 being default. Since Win8 was shut down (and FastStartup disabled) when I modified the boot order from within Ubuntu, would this suggest that the issue is at firmware level? Is there any BIOS setting that could improve things? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314759 Title: Issues with dual-booting Windows 8 and Ubuntu 14.04 on a Sony Vaio laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim/+bug/1314759/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
