I set up Ubuntu alongside Windows using dual boot, but GRUB isn’t functioning properly to launch Ubuntu.
I will share the picture you mentioned. I have arranged the boot sequence so Windows comes first in the BIOS setup. When I power on my machine, it starts with Windows immediately. If I press F12 during startup, it opens the boot menu and displays Ubuntu. The issue arises when I choose Ubuntu from the UEFI menu—it leads directly to GRUB without any path to Ubuntu.
It seems your system is already set up but may have issues. You might want to reinstall Ubuntu or use a live USB for a fresh start. Setting up GRUB isn’t my area of expertise, but the Archwiki guide provides step-by-step instructions. Start by booting from a live USB and enter chroot into the installation environment, then follow the commands listed.
It seems you're considering alternatives to the standard distribution. Trying Pop_OS or Mint could help identify if the issue lies with the ISO or the software itself.
Follow this manual to rebuild the system. Check the directory structure for expected files such as /usr, /etc, /home. You should notice components like these after installation.
It doesn’t seem to be working as expected. I’d attempt to repair your Ubuntu setup first, then check the Archwiki instructions or similar resources for installing GRUB.
We checked the bear and began the setup around the 4th or 5th post on the second page. We created a custom partition table on the Linux drive, which might have affected the configuration on the MS drive. I'm not sure about this, as it hasn't happened to me before.
Would that still impact you? Since you cleared all partitions and used an unallocated area for Windows installation, then the process proceeded smoothly. Additionally, the GRUB setup encountered an issue at a specific step in the image.
It fails due to missing or incompatible partitions. The commands expect specific mount points and boot files, but the environment may lack the required partitions like /mnt and /mnt/boot. Adjust paths and ensure proper bootloader setup.
