windows 8 and ubuntu 14.04 dual boot

Here is the guideline. More details are available via googling.

install windows

install easybcd

install ubuntu (make sure use uefi in bios)

configure easybcd to grub2 the ubuntu by adding the entry

if the ubuntu is not loaded yet, then insert the livecd, go to try ubuntu, then install boot-repair to update the grub2.

If the grub2 is messed up (lots of redundant options), you can install grub customizer to remove those options.

Thanks!

LTS Hardware Enablement Stack

In an effort to support a wider variety of hardware on an existing LTS release, the 14.04.2 point release will ship with an updated kernel and X stack by default. This newer hardware enablement stack will be comprised of the kernel and X stack from the Utopic 14.10 release. Those running virtual or cloud images should not need this newer hardware enablement stack and thus it is recommended they remain on the original Trusty stack. To remain on the original Trusty stack, there are a few options:

• Install from a previous 14.04.0 or 14.04.1 point release and update. The previous 14.04.0 and 14.04.1 releases are archived at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/
• Perform an update or upgrade to Trusty from a previous Ubuntu release. Only those installing from the 14.04.2 media or newer will automatically receive a newer hardware enablement stack by default.
• Perform a network install using the netboot images rather than the new utopic-netboot images.

Anyone wishing to opt into the hardware enablement stack for Trusty may do so by running following command which will install the linux-generic-lts-utopic and xserver-xorg-lts-utopic packages:

 sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-lts-utopic libegl1-mesa-drivers-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-utopic 

If you are on an amd64 system that boots with UEFI, you will also need the matching signed kernel:

 sudo apt-get install linux-signed-generic-lts-utopic 

For anyone interested, the specifics regarding the exact policies and procedures regarding the support, maintenance, and upgrade paths for the hardware enablement stack has been documented at the following location:

Error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 unity-control-center : Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be installed
                        Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed

you may need to install ppa-purge first.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update
sudo ppa-purge  ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update


You don't have to install xserver-xorg-dev
