grub2 - Boot-repair Boot Info: dual boot Windows 8 and Ubuntu


I cannot boot Ubuntu installed alongside with Windows 8.1 on my laptop with UEFI (Sony SVP1322R4RBI).


I followed the instructions on dual boot Windows 8 and Ubuntu, tried Boot-Repair with «recommended repair», then I manually set {bootmgr} option using Windows bcdedit, both


bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi

and


bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi

But there is no any effect, the laptop boots directly into Windows.
Here is the report of Boot-Repair http://paste.ubuntu.com/9616775/


Maybe some advanced options would be helpful...


UPDATE 01


Here is my UEFI BIOS screens: link to dropbox (I cannot post images)


I've tried all F-keys, but I can't load boot menu.


Solved


I've renamed grubx64.efi into EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi, now everything is ok! As I understand, some models of Sony VAIO use only bootx64.efi bootloader.
