Hi,
Although I managed to easily install a Windows 10/Ubuntu 18.04 dual-boot on a Lenovo X1 Carbon a few weeks ago, I'm having a lot of trouble when trying to do the same with a (brand-new) HP Elitebook (Dragonfly). I have disabled fast startup in Windows, and in the "BIOS" (it's UEFI) I've disabled Legacy and Secure Boot.
The install itself seems to have gone fine, at least that is, there are no errors during the install. However, afterwards it'll boot directly into Windows, with no sign of Grub or Ubuntu to be found: an entry for Ubuntu doesn't show up when looking at efibootmgr / when looking at the boot menu when pressing Esc after booting. When I plug in a live usb however, it does say Ubuntu has been installed. I have tried different Ubuntu versions, but to no avail - I started off with 19.10, but then tried 18.04 since boot-repair threw errors in 19.10 (something to do with glade2script-python3).
When running boot-repair for the 18.04 install, it says it has successfully repaired boot, but the problem persists and I still don't see Grub after booting nor an Ubuntu entry in the boot menu. The boot-repair output is the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/j8CpzswtrD/
It says something about MBR, which I don't really understand, since the disk should be GPT. But really, to me most of this is gibberish, so I would really appreciate some help to get Grub to boot!
