I am using windows 10 and ubuntu 14.04 as dual boot in my Lenovo think pad, I would like to know how i could possibly prioritize ubuntu over windows 10, when i restart my system i cannot login into ubuntu since i have set up Windows 10 as my default boot in , how could i possibly change it?.

Thanks

Reset to default

If you're using Windows Boot Manager, in Windows, search for msconfig, and use it to set the desired default. You can also install BCDedit (Google it) and edit the boot menu that way.

If you're using grub, in terminal, type sudo gedit /etc/default/grub and change the line GRUB_DEFAULT= to equal the name or the number (starting at 0) of the desired OS. To find the exact name for a given OS, in terminal, type grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

  • Continuing from your mention of GRUB, I love the GRUB Customizer tool. It's a bit old, but it does the trick and provides a fairly easy to use GUI for editing those same files. It also let me add a background picture to the menu!

  • I've only heard bad things about GRUB Customizer. Cheers, Al

  • Interesting. I've never had an issue with it. Experiences vary I suppose.
