Manjaro KDE and windows dual boot. Linux will not boot

Ok great, that shows that we will be able to make an “UEFI boot” entry to fix it :wink:

Can you perform these steps?:

  1. Boot again using your Live media of manjaro.
  2. sudo efibootmgr --verbose --create --disk /dev/disk/by-uuid/1611-5124 --loader /EFI/Manjaro/grubx64.efi --label “Manjaro Linux”
  3. efibootmgr -v
    This should show a new entry labeled “Manjaro Linux” in the boot entries.

If the above (2) succeeds without error you can reboot and your machine will boot with Manjaro as default.
Because adding a new entry will make it the default, you are free to change the boot order again via your BIOS settings etc…

So I tried to boot up again, and it still only boots into windows. Even through the new entry. And my nvme was always listed before as "uefi os* on my Asus bios.

Do you have SecureBoot enabled in your BIOS?
If so disable it, it sometimes is called “other OS” in secure boot mode on some BIOS’es.

Also can you provide the output of (3) :arrow_heading_up:

here, also. Secure boot is set to “other os” … because Asus bios i guess lol.

A first look at that output shows you made some error :slight_smile:

The entry should have been called “Manjaro Linux” and there should not have been a Linux... at end…

So please redo those steps after you remove the current entry using:
sudo efibootmgr --verbose --delete-bootnum --bootnum 4

And provide the output of the new listing again ofcourse so we can check again and think further in case…

okay… strange quirk… copy pasting made the quotations wonky and borked it last time.
it seems to work now

I assume you mean you can properly boot in Linux now? :hugs:
If so please mark the post that fixed the actual problem as solution for other readers in future (and mark the topic as resolved by it) :wink:

No… The command worked this time in naming it correctly. But I had a thought in that the bootloader timer I previously set to be really fast so I could boot into my Linux machine faster. Purhaps it just defaulting to boot into windows really fast?

Ahh yes that could be indeed, then press any key (and hold it) IIRC right after you hear the beep at boot.
(I prefer to use F1 :wink: )

That was it! Thanks! That was so helpful, I really appreciate your time! (I would have been here for ages…)

No problem you’re welcome, don’t forget to mark the solution :handshake:
