Hi everyone. My computer recently had its hard drive replaced, so I have to install Ubuntu again. I had no problem running Ubuntu from a LiveUSB, but when I installed it and restarted the computer, it just went directly to boot Windows 8. I tried this multiple times and the same thing happened. (I've also changed the boot order to boot from hard drive first.)

My boot-repair URL is
http://paste.ubuntu.com/10316355/

(I ran the boot-repair through my live session of ubuntu)

What brand & model system?

Did you do one of the workarounds before, to get it to boot Ubuntu.
Many vendors now modify UEFI to only boot Window by the UEFI description. So we do one of several workarounds to get it to work.
