I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) along with Windows 8.1. When I turn on the computer I don't get an option to boot into Ubuntu, and I go strait into Windows. How can I solve this?
I have tried using boot-repair, but I could not install it on live Ubuntu (as the Internet connection is not working), so it is working in my 'installed' version of Ubuntu. There I am not able to use the 'recommended repair' option.
Here is my pastebin link:
