Boot problems with Windows 8

[riccardo2]

Hello everybody, I have got few problems booting Ubuntu after i installed it on a Windows 8 laptop. At the start-up it doesn't allow me to chose between windows 8 and Ubuntu. It simply starts with windows 8... I can select Ubuntu only from the BIOS and I have already tried to run "boot-repair" but I didn't solve the problem. I attach the code from "boot-repair" that may help someone to help me and other people with the same problems: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5978561/
Thanks to everybody.

Hi riccardo2,

A very common problem on here, a problem with UEFI, try here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI

Does your system boot Windows with secure boot off?
Is the issue with Ubuntu a black screen or video issue. Then what video chip do you have.
