After a lot of trial and error, I was able to use the solution below:
+First, go into the system settings (F10). Go to boot options and add a 5 second delay for the boot prompt. I also turned off secure boot. Save and restart.
+A boot option menu should come up allowing you to select an EFI file to boot from. Select EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi . This should get you into ubuntu.
+To install grub to boot automatically, use the directions below:
Windows 8 removes Grub as default boot manager
Rod smith suggested two fixes, using bcdedit which did not work for my situation, and this one:
- Back up the entire contents of /boot/efi (your EFI System Partition, or ESP).
- Type sudo mv /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft.
- Type cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi.
- Create a new /etc/grub.d/40_custom file entry that refers to EFI/Microsoft/bootmgfw.efi. Model it after the existing entry in /boot/grub/grub.cfg that refers to EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi; just remove Boot from the boot path and give it a new name.
- Type sudo update-grub to install the new GRUB entry.
+You can then reboot and choose the Operating System option.
If for some reason things get messed up, I was able to use this guide to boot straight into windows again:

Get out ofEFIMicrosoft!EFIBOOTis where the default boot loader lies and where you should make customizations if you have trouble booting other operating systems on your UEFI machine. happyassassin.net/2014/01/25/…

Thanks - but I believe this bios is hardcoded to look there. EFIBOOT would not work!
