Hi Steve I downloaded both .deb files and ran using gdebi - it reports "same version already installed" so I reinstalled anyway and then ran
sudo efibootmgr -o 0000,3000,0001,0002,2001; echo $? Output is Invalid BootOrder order entry value0000,3000,0001,0002,2001,2002 ^ efibootmgr: entry 2002 does not exist 8 As a thought Steve, is it possible for you to remotely access this notebook? If so it might speed things up. Also I don't mind wiping it and trying new installs if that helps - currently it runs Zorin OS as this has a boot repair utility and otherwise Ubuntu won't boot by itself - it will with the Zorin repair but not perfectly as it appears to be optimised for Zorin OS, that it has worked for Ubuntu (and Mint 19.3)is probably an accident. I can install Ubuntu 20.04 on this notebook as I have an ISO for this - runs fine in Virtualbox. Ian On Thu, Jan 9, 2020 at 10:01 AM Steve Langasek <steve.langa...@canonical.com> wrote: > Thanks.
