Ubuntu not booting UEFI

6,304

I keep saying this all of the time. Ubuntu has a usability bug in its install program. It needs instructions on how to make uefi boot. Go to Bios setup and you need to load the trusted uefi file. The way I did it on my acer was to go to the security tab. Then you set a password. BE VERY CAREFUL and MINDFUL.. peck it with one finger twice to be sure. If you mess this up, your laptop is nearly bricked, but someone can help you fix it with an external floppy disk.. yes floppy.. know anyone?

Once you set the password, some options will become available. Try to I turned off tcp (not sure if that matters). I also reset all certificates. and then I added trusted boot file. Try doing only last one I mentioned and see if that works by itself.

So when you add the trusted file (it will find the location for you..) add all the files you can.. and then set your password back to "BLANK". That means type nothing.. no characters..Just hit the enter key twice..do it now before you forget your password.

Now you can go to boot order. You will see something like yes0. Or something new probably at the bottom.. Put that up top and boot away!

    I have windows 10 installed and I have just installed Ubuntu. When installing I chose the "install alongside Windows boot manager" option and everything seems to install fine. No errors. But there is never any way to choose to boot Ubuntu. What should I do? I have the PC in UEFI mode.

    It says this:

    Boot mode: UEFI
    Boot priority order:
        Usb hdd
        Windows boot manager
        Hdd0
        Usb fdd
        Hdd1 samsung... The ssd
        Atapi: cdrom 
        Network boot ipv4
        Usb cdrom
        Network boot ipv6

    There is no option. The only option is the windows boot manager.
