I for a while had a Windows 10 + Ubuntu LTS dual boot setup, one drive for each OS. Recently i decided to swap ubuntu out for the latest version of Manjaro with the KDE Plasma desktop. I followed the install process and chose to wipe the ubuntu disk (Erase Disk). After installation i rebooted and was thrown into a grub shell.
Could not manage to boot from it and typing exit would launch Windows. Back in the live ISO i tried to reinstall grub, but it did not solved the issue, then i ran efibootmgr to check that it was not some traces of ubuntu in the windows install (??), but Manjaro was first in the list.
How can i resolve this?
Of course i had no data on that Manjaro installation, so wiping it would be okay. I am also planning to when i know the problem install it with a custom partition setup, with a separate /home partition.
recheck all option in your UEFI ( for linux)
SecureBoot off
Fast Boot off
No CSM
No Legacy
all disks on AHCI
boot only on UEFI:<partition 1> → EFI install manjaro
you can check in terminal , before install

Does anything look wrong?
I recently did the same. I had the bootloader from ubuntu, the uefi menu entry, and the secure boot certificate from ubuntu/microsoft left. The remnants should generally not be a problem (the bootloader takes a megabyte space, who cares, the menu is fixed with reinstalling grub as in the tutorial, manjaro throws a warning about the certificate at boot, again who cares). Everything works. I later deleted the bootloader of ubuntu completely, i still have not reset the MOK.
So i bet on the secure boot setting still on. Look at the post above mine and check everything in the uefi settings.
Ok, thougt the command were to check that, apparently not. Will do it tomorrow.
The commands above look good - you are fully gpt/efi. What bothers me a bit is the shim, which speaks for a ubuntu install with secure boot on. Unlike Ubuntu, Manjaro does not support it. That is why secure boot has to be off. I am about 99% sure that will fix it.
may be :
name point for sdb1 should be /boot/efi , there is no name in your case
→ change name or reformat just sdb1 fat32
→ get UUID and recheck in /etc/fstab ( UUID should be the same )
1st chroot for UUId and /boot/efi ( sdb1 )
always exit for end chroot
sudo lsblk -fs
manjaro-chroot -a
cat /etc/fstab
nano /etc/fstab ( Ctrl + X for save )
exit 2nd chroot for install grub
manjaro-chroot -a ( required to take good path /boot/efi )
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
mkinitcpio -P
efibootmgr -B 000C -b
efibootmgr -B 000D -b
efibootmgr -v
exitthen you can reboot
Judging by the rest of the posted output i think he had the live usb booted, that is why.
Yea, i could not boot into the installation, so all running of linux commands was on the live ISO, that is why you see a “Kingston Datatraveler” device, i use that usb stick.
Explain more, i am completely new to linux, besides installing premade themes, fish and exa on ubuntu, as well as followi g DT’s arch efi install guide in a vm.
so with USB live iso manjaro
boot on EFI ,
open a terminal & a browser on this topic
and return
sudo lsblk -fs
manjaro-chroot -a
cat /etc/fstab
ls /boot/efi/*
exitbut first
fast boot is actually turned off from windows but if ubuntu booted i guess it is off
fast boot was on when ubuntu worked, but i turndd ot on when manjaro did not.
In windows, fast boot is off, but in my UEFI settings (which for some reason looks loke BIOS settings) quck boot is on. What is quick boot?
Also,what is AHCI?
Edit: Found it!
Once upon a time quick boot was skipping some post checks, but nowadays it is entirely possible to be something else. Toggle it, if it is what i think it was it will cost a couple of seconds and some messages and beeps at boot, or you may hit the jackpot if it is the windows setting we are looking for.
Ahci is a storage controller mode. Not that can cause unbootable system, drives not to be seen etc. (I mean if it is not ahci)
I turned off the windows setting, it just says that it will diplay the logo for a bit more, giving more time to press ENTER to reach the settings and temporary startup device menu.
WAIT TEMPORARY STARTUP THINGY IDENTIFIED MANJARO!!! Thx!!
