So you'll need to make your changes permananent and not having to use the boot menu to boot correctly each times. Making changes permanentĪs said previously, the worst is behind you and I don't think you want to make all these steps again. You can do anything you want but celebrate it! ? ? ?.
ELEMENTARY OS UEFI PATCH
I'm sure you love my camera privacy patch ?
ELEMENTARY OS UEFI FULL
Only if you have selected full disk encryption option during the installation process. Once done and you haven't got any displayed error message and having this result: If the trust procedure worked correctly, you should have a new line in your boot menu as shown in the picture above. In case the boot menu is not enabled already, you will need to enable it before continue. Here, you will need to check the given file, in my case it is this one: /File(\EFI\ubuntu\shim圆4.efi). Check the boot entry added during the installation process Now that you have cleaned your EFI NVRAM with the method above, you can start to breath a little as the following will fix your issue and let you enjoy your lovelly ElementaryOS Juno ?. The following steps will help you to solve your boot issue. If you have several entries to remove as I had, you might to need to use a loop to remove them all that way:įor ID in 000E 000F 0010 0011 0012 0013 0014 0015 0016 0017 do sudo efibootmgr -b $ID -B -v doneĮntries starting by PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x17,0x0)/Sata(3,32768,1)/ will be removed from the BIOS.ĭont't try to remove them manually because they'll be readded by the BIOS as the next boot.
ELEMENTARY OS UEFI INSTALL
Download and install efibootmgr package: sudo apt install efibootmgr.Connect to your network (ethernet or wireless but Internet is required).Boot in live mode by selecting option "Try ElementaryOS.".The process is not really handy but thanks to the live mode to make it easier otherwise. I got around 50 buggy boot entries to remove and required to specify them one by one. Clean the EFI NVRAM before patchingīefore I could find a proper solution after some long researching and testing hours, I got multiple bootloops times and so, got a lot of buggy boot entries to remove. This means you will need add the file that need to be trusted manually in your EFI BIOS settings.Īs you may see, two entries got created on each boot loops. Some constructors like Acer, requires to trust the boot file when SecureBoot is enabled. But at the next reboot, it fails again to detect the correct boot entry and restart the process infinitely. On each boot loops, it fails to detect the correct boot entry from the EFI NVRAM, adds default entries, then force reboot to use the new added entries. The first difficulty was to get enough time to capture the error message as it was disapearing almost right once displayed.Īpparently, when the installer failed to setup the bootloader and SecureBoot correctly, it creates a bootloop right after the next reboot required to finish the installation.
Note: If you haven't got any issues using the normal install process and everything worked directly right after the first boot, then you can skip the whole gist and tell to yourself that you're from the lucky ones that didn't had any issues during their first installation. This is required to fix the installed bootloader otherwise you will not be able to boot correctly.
The only slight change you will have to do from your habits is to use the live mode instead of the install mode to process to the installation. If you're in a hurry, jump to "Remove the buggy boot entries".
Well it can work but will requires the steps explained below. It might work for some brands but for my Acer Predator. Compatible with SecureBoot + EFI enabled computers? Awesome!!īut not really in fact. I was really happy to know that the latest version of ElementaryOS were out so I could not wait to install it on my latest laptop Acer Predator. Yet another night passed to fight with the machine. Install ElementaryOS Juno on SecureBoot + EFI enabled computer
