I’ve installed Manjaro Mate on a new SSD. A second drive has Kubuntu.
Both distros are listed in UEFI.
I need a bit of reassurance that the partitions are correct, especially the second drive one here which has ! and a — boot flag.
I guess I need the fat32 partition in this so that it shows in UEFI. Otherwise, is the fat32 partition needed in the second drive.
Sorry, but the forum would not let me post media files or even hyperlinks.
Thanks for having me on board.

Welcome to Manjaro!
Please read this:
How to provide good information
and post some more information so we can see what’s really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies…
An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
The output to sudo parted --list would help then too.
This is the inxi output:

What to do now?
Well, nothing! It’s allowed to have multiple ESPs, (EFI System Partitions) and that’s what you have, so that’s no worries if you want to switch OSes using the UEFI firmware instead of grub and that’s what you did.
It’s not what I would have done, but it’s perfectly allowed.
(emphasis mine)
No, you don’t need that: That’s the advantage of UEFI: You can boot multiple OSes of the same ESP but some people don’t like that and want each OS to have their own ESP, and that’s what you have…
And that i is perfectly fine, but I have a triple boot system using 1 ESP:
sudo ls /boot/efi/EFI
Boot Manjaro Microsoft OEM rEFInd Tools Ubuntu
Aw, thanks! I’m glad to have the reassurance.
I notice you use rEFind. May I ask why?
Because:
And rEFInd comes with an EFI shell and that allows me to add / remove EFI drivers and follow this manual. (I’m on page 48 since the last 3 months)
The manual put me right off. Grub works.
For me, I personally like rEFInd because it’s so much more simple than grub to me. For grub, you have to use update-grub, and make sure it plays well with all of your OS’s
I don’t have grub installed on my computer, only rEFInd. What it does is at boot, it searches for all bootable OS’s (for me is Windows 10, Manjaro, Arch Linux, OpenSUSE) and show it all on the screen.
i.e. (old screenshot)
I run Manjaro and Kubuntu only, so rEFind, though neat, would be overkill just now.
I ran into so much trouble with Windows 10 that I removed the darned thing. Thankfully, I had it on a separate HDD. Otherwise, it seems you cannot uninstall it, not completely.
Thanks for the heads up though!
