Originally, my issue was that GRUB boot menu was not showing when I boot up my computer. It would simply go into windows boot manager. I could only load up the GRUB boot menu by pressing F11 and selecting the GRUB boot menu myself.
I then proceeded to try several troubleshooting steps such as:
running:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path EFIubuntugrubx64.efi
in the command prompt with admin privileges
- checking for a ubuntu boot option in my bios. I realized that there was no ubuntu boot option and I only had the option of windows boot manager for some reason. I can see the ubuntu option just fine when I press F11 to select boot option though.
install boot-repair on ubuntu and run that.
I ran the boot-repair and it told me to run:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path EFIubuntushimx64.efi
if I'm still booting to windows since I want bios to boot on the sdd2/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi file.
Here is the pastebin that was produced by boot-repair: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/fYpfjKmhTq/
After running
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path EFIubuntushimx64.efi
my computer still boot into windows but this time chrome gave me a new to chrome message. When I opened chrome, I was surprise to see that all my history and bookmarks are gone. I don't know how that happened as I did not update chrome or windows. I don't have my bookmarks backed up (I know I should've) but now I don't know what to do to get them back. I have some bookmarks that I really need and some sites that would be really hard to find again.
Does anyone know what I should try to get my bookmarks back? And/or fix my grub boot menu not showing issue?
EDIT:
Just received a notification for signing into my google account on a "new device".
ubuntu boot google-chrome grub bcd
