Bug ID: 369077
Summary: Issues with UEFI dual booting with other Ubuntu OS's
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
URL: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=309&t=135496
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Packages User Edition
Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org
Reporter: morganco...@gmail.com

When I install Neon, then install another Ubuntu based OS - for example Mint,
The neon UEFI boot entry loads grub from the wrong partition (i.e the Mint
one)..
i.e after installing the second os (mint), I have a 'neon' UEFI entry as well
as an 'ubuntu' entry - the problem is now either the neon or the ubuntu uefi
entry both boot from the mint partition, this means I can load neon from the
mint grub, however this is not ideal as say I install a kernel update in neon,
the mint grub entry wouldn't register the new kernel image in grub.
Also say I delete mint, this means I have an unbootable neon os....
I tried reinstalling and ensuring that I have a separate efi partition for
mint, I even ensured whilst installing mint that I unselected the neon efi boot
loader partition (i.e do not use this partition) and it still sticks the UEFI
boot files in the neon EFI partition.
My question I guess is : Once I have installed another ubuntu based OS how to I
have the neon UEFI entry the 'active' one again ?
If it helps here is the output of 'efibootmgr -v'

------------------------------------------
If I load mint (or ubuntu, etc) then neon and do a
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
Then mint (or whatever distro) takes priority again (as it should)
If you do it with neon, it doesn't - it creates a neon entry but that loads the
mint grub - the other way round its fine.
i.e if I install neon then any other ubuntu distro I can no longer boot from
the neon efi loader unless I reinstall neon. which means removal of the other
os means non-bootable system, with mint at least I could go to a live cd,
chroot and fix the bootloader, I cannot with neon.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install neon (uefi mode)
2. install another ubuntu in UEFI mode
Actual Results:
I expected that
after using
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
In neon I expected it to be make neon's grub the default in the neon uefi entry
Expected Results:
I expected that
sudo grub-install /dev/sda would make neon's grub the default from the neon
uefi entry
