I've installed Xubuntu alongside Windows 7, but when booting, it just goes straight into Windows. Did GRUB just not install or something ?
If it matters, I'm using an ASUS K55VD Laptop.I think it has UEFI, but I could be wrong.

Oops, wrong section. Can a mod move this please ?
I think it is ok as General question.
But if UEFI, did you install Xubuntu in UEFI or BIOS/CSM mode? Did you install with 64bit version?

Ok, so I asked in the IRC channel, and it was determined I do have UEFI enabled. I don't think I installed it in UEFI mode, but it never asked :/
Here's the output of bootrepair: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5681014/
What should I do?
Did you install the 32 bit version. That does not have UEFI support.
you have installed on sda6 a Linux version which is not EFI-compatible.

Ah yeah, I did, lol. I stupidly named the iso "xubuntu.iso" a while back and forgot what version it was !
Works fine, except now Windows 7 doesn't work. On boot, it has 2 ubuntu options, then Windows 7 loader and Windows 7 Recovery, and Windows 7 Loader says "invalid efi file" or something like that. :/
