Hello guys,

 

i am using Windows 10 on my Acer laptop.

I want to install Ubuntu and have a dual boot option.

I have successfully installed Ubuntu, but when I restart the laptop, only Windows 10 loads.

 

To fix this I tried the following (in this order):
 

  1. Source: [https://itsfoss.com/no-grub-windows-linux/]
    In the Windows 10 cmd, as admin:

    bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi

    But failed.
  2. To reverse the previous:
    Source: [https://itsfoss.com/no-grub-windows-linux/]

    bcdedit /deletevalue {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi

    but said I used the command wrongly.

    bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi

    successfully.
  3. Source: [https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-10/how-to-dual-boot-ubuntu-with-windows-10/]

    I used my bootable usb-ubuntu stick to:

    In the options panel I unchecked the Safe Boot option, or something like that.

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update

    and

    sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair


    The output is:
    http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7BWGKNtvDS/

     
  4. After restarting I got a:
    Security Boot Fail message, and black screen.
  5. To solve this:
    Source: [https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/436231/security-boot-fail]

    I pressed F2 with the Ubuntu USB in, and in the settings, I changed the Boot order to Windows.
    Now Windows works fine.
    But still no Ubuntu……..

 

I need Linux for a programming project, and this is tiring…
I recall dual booting on my desktop computer with no problem, and this is the 2nd time on a laptop I am having a hard time……

Any thought on what to do?

Thanks in advance, guys.

Really appreciate this forum.
