Here is the output of sudo parted -l

For the record, sda2 is named SYSTEM_DRV  and sda3 is named LRS_ESP.
When I Iog in, sda3 and sda5 (Windows8_OS) are mounted.

I cannot see any EFI related errors in dmesg after running sudo
efibootmgr -o 4,8,0,3,2, but I have attached the output anyway.

Title:
  Following install GRUB menu does not appear on startup

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu was installed on a new Lenovo E50-00 desktop PC using a USB
  stick alongside Windows 8.1.  The installer was used to create a data
  partition for Ubuntu.  First install failed with the install hanging
  while 'completely removing xfsprogs'.  The install was rerun using the
  data partition created on the first run and completed successfully.

  What I expected to happen: The GRUB menu appears on start up.

  What does happen:  The GRUB menu does not immediately appear on start
  up.  It is necessary to use F12 on start up to call up the machine's
  boot menu and select 'ubuntu' (see attached screenshot).  The GRUB
  menu then appears from which Ubuntu can be booted.

  The USB stick for the install was booted in EFI mode.  The
  installation is EFI and the version of GRUB in use is grub-efi.

  There is a partition (sda3) named LRS_ESP which contains folders 'EFI'
  and 'onekey'.  The folder 'EFI' contains only a folder 'Microsoft'.

  There is a folder /boot/efi/EFI that contains folders 'Boot',
  'Microsoft' and 'ubuntu'.
