Grub menu doesn't show during boot up












0















I have had ubuntu(currently 18.04) installed alongside windows(8.1) for over a year.
I was logged into Windows when I closed the lid and after sometime when I came back, "No bootable device found, press any key to reboot" was written on the screen. After reboot, windows opened up and the grub menu didn't appear. So I tried again and it didn't show yet again.



I do not know what is causing the problem or how to deal with it? What should I do? Is my data on Ubuntu partition lost?



EDIT: Opening boot manager by pressing F12 during boot shows these 4 options under " UEFI Boot" panel:




  • UEFI OnBoard LAN IPv4


  • UEFI OnBoard LAN IPv6


  • Windows Boot Manager


  • Ubuntu



Selecting Ubuntu option invokes the normal boot sequence and the grub menu appears. But this doesn't persists after reboot and boot directly advances to Windows. How do I make this permanent?

  • @karel i have had ubuntu installed alongside windows for over a year now. I never accounted this problem. I have read the question whose link you gave. For that person the problem appeared right after ubuntu installation(possibly first boot by the sound of it). I have a lot of data on my ubuntu drive and i do not wish to lose it. And, also, sorry if i have not done something according to protocol as this is my first question here. Happy to be guided.
