Manjaro Dual boot

[Kylian]

Hello I am trying to dual boot Windows 10 and Manjaro.
I have dual booted before with a lot of distros like Ubuntu arch rhel etc how ever Manjaro just does not seem to work when ever I install it and reboot it is booting straight to windows instead of showing me the grub loader to select a OS I have followed the following tutorial as well : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mddQE-g_5mk

If you want help, don't link to Video Tutorials. Link to some more official documentation like this one.

 

No one has a crystal ball here, there are several things that could fail, or where an error could  be made. You need to post more information about your system. Boot from a live Linux, copy+paste the output from the commands recommended in the tutorial, especially if there are any errors there. You also need to actually understand the tutorial and adapt it into your computer.

 

To begin: boot in UEFI mode, chroot into Manjaro installation as per the link I've posted, and post output of commands "sudo fdisk -l"  and "sudo lsblk".

 

EDIT: you don't need to chroot to run fdisk -l or lsblk

When i changed the windows boot drive ( in my case sda2 ) to use the mount point "/boot/efi" it all started working perfectly. Every boot shows the grub loader for 5 sec and remembers the last choice.

 

I also created partitions for linuxswap, /home and / , not sure if that matters though.

how can i set the windows boot drive to /boot/efi ?

i know in the instalation i selected sda2 to use /boot/efi though so that shut have just worked then?

I think he's referring to where your boot partition is stored, if you run:

sudo fdisk -l

you will find a small EFI partition, tell the system to mount the partition on /boot by editing the fstab file.

 

Also did you check your BIOS's boot order? If GRUB is not detected by your BIOS then it has nothing to do with the fstab file. You need to reinstall GRUB.

i did set the boot order coreclty i managed to fix it by just dualbooiting with ubuntu that always works fine and then latter adding manjaro to it in the dualboot
