Blackslash Linux and UEFI mode


I wanted to dual boot windows 10 and blackslash linux on my hp envy notebook. I created another partition and installed linux just like everybody. But the problem is I don't see linux in the booting menu unless I access the bios and choose the option from there.
then it boot fine, but when I restart linux, the computer boots from windows 10 instead of blackslash linux.
This is very annoying because it is not convenient to access the bios everytime.

I installed EasyBCD to add linux into the booting option menu. I was able to add but when i select linux from the booting option, a black window appears says no operating system exists and it says plug in your installation media and restart your computer and choose repair my computer option.


And most of EasyBbc software features and disabled on UEFI mode .

Is there anyone who dealt with this problem before? How to fix this?

thanks to all help

Hi:

In an effort to help you, I went to Distrowatch to find out what Blackslash Linux is based on.
-::-Distrowatch reported that the distribution you requested does not exist in our database.-::-

After some searching I found that 'BackSlash' Linux ​is an Indian Linux Distribution based on Ubuntu and Debian and uses a Modified version of Cinnamon as it's Default Desktop Environment.

IF 'Backslash' Linux uses APT (like I think it does) you should be able to add it to your Grub menu with:
Code:
sudo update-grub
A Google search returned Backslash Linux not Blackslash-

Is there an option in your bios to change the boot order of windows and linux? What is in /boot/efi/EFI/?

If it were me, I'd just run Linux in a virtual machine under VirtualBox, and be done.
