Hi,
I am new to Ubuntu and would need your help for dually installing Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04.
I have a Dell laptop XPS 15 9560 2017 Core i7-7700HQ, 16 GB RAM 512GB SSD
and it has a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 graphic card
Windows 10 Home was pre-installed
I installed a custom image of Ubuntu (called custom) that I got from my teacher (I added nomodeset after quiet splash in the Grub bootloader editor before installing). Upon rebooting, I didn't get any options to choose between Windows and Ubuntu (Ubuntu is listed first in the boot setup) but ended up at the grub menu grub>
When I booted with an Ubuntu live USB drive I could launch the live Ubuntu from the USB drive (when I again added nomodeset after quiet splash in the Grub bootloader Editor):
I ran boot-repair and was told: "Boot successfully repaired"
The record by boot-repair is on:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/B2RnrRHgjk/
However, when re-booting I was again stuck in the grub menu grub>.
I checked custom (Ubuntu) in the boot setup and it points to \EFI\custom\shimx64.efi, as recommended by boot-repair.
I am only starting to use Ubuntu and would be very grateful for any help to fix this.
By the way, booting into Windows still works.
Kind regards,
emu
Things I did before installing Ubuntu - I understand it is done because of the Nvidia card:
I found several, similar installation instructions for this laptop and did the following:
- Run Command Prompt as an admin.
- Run: bcedit /set {current} safeboot minimal
- Reboot.
- Press F2 when you see the Dell logo.
- Select AHCI mode in the SATA option under System Configuration.
- Press “Apply” then “Exit”.
- Login as usual.
- Open the Command Prompt as an admin again and type: bcedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot
- Reboot.
I partitioned the C drive in Windows:
249 GB for Windows (NTFS)
212 GB free, to be used for Ubuntu
then I started to install Ubuntu (see above)
