Since I'm new to Linux and co. I have to ask a question here.

I just wanted to install Ubuntu on my laptop and get a taste of Linux.

So I made a bootable Ubuntu 18.04.01 LTS stick and used Ubuntu as a live system.

After that I installed Ubuntu with the help of the icon on the desktop (completely without Windows) everything went smoothly,

but after the reboot came only the message no bootable device or something like that, so stick for the first time again purely Ubuntu as a live system and now here my question. How do I get Ubuntu to boot from my hard drive?

The names of the hard disks can already be merged.

In the BIOS boot order, you do not necessarily have to select the disk on which Linux is installed. It must be the plate in which grub (1st part) is installed. The 2nd part is then on the disk with Linux.

Simply putty out. Of course, something could have gone wrong with the installation.

The BIOS also often offers to select a disk after power on (F8 or… F12)

Look at the EFI / Bios to see if Secureboot is activated. If so please deactivate. It may also be possible to switch the BIOS to a legacy mode (BIOS mode). UEFI and Secureboot keep causing problems with the Linux installation. I would also recommend you to do a bios update and to use the latest Ubuntu version (18.10).

When booting from the USB stick, please make sure that several boot entries are available for the stick. As far as I know, both an entry with and an entry without EFI in the BIOS Bootmenu be seen. Depending on whether you have enabled or disabled EFI in the BIOS now you have to choose the appropriate entry to boot from the USB stick. If you install Ubuntu without EFI support on a system that has EFI enabled in the BIOS, Ubuntu will not start.

You may need to re-install it again.

Always output error messages in the exact wording!
Then the installation routine may have written the boot loader (GRUB) into the MasterBootRecord of the USB stick. If that is the case then either the stick has to be connected at boot time or the boot order has to be changed so that a bootable hard disk (or DVD) will be taken.
