So after a lot of distro test drives I settled on Ubuntu Budgie 19.10 until the next LTS release. You guys have really done a great job with this, really helping Ubuntu be a lot tastier in this flavor, and Budgie itself is really a lot nicer here than on Solus. However, I have ran into an installat…

Well, I opted to boot windows, blow it all out, then reboot into the live usb and start all over. This time I opted to select to install grub to /dev/sda1 Windows Boot Manager The install of Grub2 failed again. Only difference this time is that the message was a little different. The grub-efi-amd…

I figured out a workaround myself, purely from banging around in Tilix long enough to execute in frustration. Here is the workaround for anyone else that experiences this. Open up Tilix and run the following… (substitute the drive and partition you installed your / directory on mine was sda7) (dr…

Thanks for the update! [image] Dusty: grub-install: warning: Cannot set EFI variable Boot0000. grub-install: warning: vars_set_variable: write() failed: Interrupted system call. grub-install: warning: _efi_set_variable_mode: ops->set_variable() failed: No such file or directory. grub-install…

This applies particularly to new Lenovo notebooks: You should never boot in CSM/Legacy/BIOS mode if Windows is UEFI boot. Overcome this by creating a new GPT/UEFI boot using Rufus under Windows. For some reason UEFI is so slow, but in the end it worked, creating grub ubuntu/windows nice!

Humm, I will look in the bios again when I can get my hands on it again. I bought it with windows 10 off the shelf and as far as I know it was UEFI. I know it was a boot screen option (windows boot loader) and it a EFI partion, and windows boot entries within when I mounted it, etc. And I installe…

Yes that is good to link to this for similar issues.

Here is an example of why I say my methods to get booting are just a workaround, not a fix. Maybe it will provide some clues to the root problem? sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk3-module [sudo] password for user: Reading package lists… Done Building dependency tree Reading state informatio…

Question - does the same issue occur if you turn off secure boot in the efi settings?

It is off in the EFI settings. I went in bios and turned that off to begin with I think. And then I went back in there and turned off a few more things I think as I kept trying. This is good though. I should go in there and write a list of what is in there and what I changed trying to get it to wor…
