I have Windows 7 and 8 installed on my laptop, I just installed Ubuntu. It normally boots up in Windows 8, how do I change that?

Press Ctrl-Alt-t, in the terminal type 

gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

press Enter and enter your password.

find the line that says

GRUB_DEFAULT=0

change 0 to a number that corresponds to the boot menu entry you want as default. First entry is 0, second is 1 etc..

You can also change the timeout value in the following line.

GRUB_TIMEOUT=10

If set to 0 you will not see the boot menu anymore.

When you're done, save and close the file.

Back in the terminal type:

sudo update-grub

enter password (there's no feedback when you type it in), press enter, reboot.

enjoy
