VirtualBox version is 5.0.18, from contrib sid. 5.0.20 was released yesterday but it seems to not be changed for UEFI. https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog#v20 > It shows the same behaviour as described, but > that's a limitation of the virtualbox UEFI support rather than a > problem in Debian - the underlying virtualbox isn't saving EFI > variables persistently. Probably it caused by limitation of virtualbox UEFI support but users want just work and other distros avoid its limitation, so we can improve it as expected :) And, it maybe not relate to this issue, I wonder why my debian box's disk says "Partition type: Linux filesystem" for /boot/efi │ Partition UUID: 752C9D2E-C84E-4395-A566-DE05E519212B │ Partition type: Linux filesystem (0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4) │ Filesystem: vfat │Filesystem UUID: 57BC-3C6C │ Mountpoint: /boot/efi (mounted) Fedora on VirtualBox says its Partition type is "Partition type: EFI System". -- Regards, Hideki Yamane henrich @ debian.or.jp/org http://wiki.debian.org/HidekiYamane
