so i installed ubuntu 14.04 on a windows 8 pre-installed hp laptop.

the problem is when i boot the computer it takes me straight to windows and NO grub is shown.

i tried following this: https://askubuntu.com/a/358524/59618 and used boot-repair which threw this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/7295325/

i am completely lost with this eufi stuff, can someone help me with an easy solution to have grub working on this laptop where i can choose Ubuntu or windows 8?

PS: i cant seem to get this working on my hp. i disabled fast startup and secure boot and ran bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi and still no Grub :(

the solution that this question was marked as duplicate is not working for me

Had same problem after installing Ubuntu 14.04 to dual boot with Windows XP. Solved by going into Bios and making boot drive the Ubuntu drive. A restart brought up the grub 2 screen with options for Ubuntu and XP. I've been using this method and so far no problems with either choice.
