Dropped into a GRUB shell after installation

retry with sudo :

sudo /boot/efi/EFI
sudo rm -r /boot/efi/EFI/Ubuntu

sudo rm -r /mnt/boot/efi/EFI/Ubuntu appears to have worked!
Now proceeding with the rest of the commands.
I’m sure I’ll be back soon. :slight_smile:

Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p2 vfat 96M 27M 70M 28% /mnt/boot/efi

sudo unmount /mnt/boot/efi
sudo: unmount: command not found

Just a query… is this:

/mnt/boot/efi/EFI/Boot/

…how the path should read now? Seems we’ve got 2 levels of boot, and 2 levels of efi.

this is umount not unmount

Gah!
Sorry.
Yes, that worked.
But then:

sudo efiboomgr -b 0002 -B                                                                                                                                                                             
sudo: efiboomgr: command not found

We’ll get there eventually! :slight_smile:

Ah, I think we were just missing a ‘t’!

have you done something , on p6 or p7 ?

Not that I recall.
I’ve been slowly working my way through all of your instructions from post #5.

And to the best of my recollection, everything I’ve done, I’ve documented here.

i see : you have not removed flag boot &esp from p6 ,
so launch gparted , select nmve , and p6 and remove flags boot & esp → confirm

All done!

retry then

Just out of interest, when I unchecked the flags for boot and efi, gparted automatically ADDED a flag for msftdata (to p6).
