Public bug reported:
On a Lenova ThinkCentre M81 i3 processor, 8G-Ram & 'fresh' install of
UbubtuStudio ~ was successful but at the end (restart) a new black page appears
with this; E53: No boot filename received MOF: Exiting Intel Boot Agent. Error
1965: No operating system found. Press any key to repeat boot sequence. Being
new to LINUX .:. Ubuntu 19.10 was just installed a week ago and was working
great(including installing Ardour, LMMS, Blender etc.) but upon trying to do a
'fresh' install of UbuntuStudio 19.10 something is not working ? Is there
anyone who cold help with this please ~ maybe who has successfully dealt with
this issue already ? After two unsuccessful tries at opening Ubuntustudio from
the harddrive~then tried to run the program directly from the usb stick and
that works well. It shows; 24 folders in "File System". 5 of those folders have
'arrows' (bin, lib, lib32, lib64, fibx32 & sbin). The 24 folders in "500GB
Volume"(harddrive) are the same except for a greyed-out folder named 'swapfile'
& 'root' both of which have an X on them. The 'ubuntu-studio' (home folder) has
8 folders which are all empty except 'desktop' which has the folder ; "Install
Ubuntu Studio 19.10" On the main page (blue w/logo) in the "500 GB Volume"
folder is the applications ~ which work well(tried a few). So UbuntuStudio
seems to work great off of the usb stick/drive but will not open without the
usb drive . We gotta get this sorted out, so if any knowlegable volunteers have
experience with these sorts of issues please feel free to help out! Thanks in
advance It may be bothersome for folks like you but please remember that you
are communicating with a 'beginner' so any quick & not precisely explained
suggestions are potentially not going to be correctly interpreted, comprehended
or executed .
The harddrive is selected as the 1st boot device.
This is not a manual install.
Ubuntu installer may have selected another drive automatically by error. Which
may be something developers address?
CMOS battery is new.
Thank-you for trying to help start with troubleshooting ,even-though
troubleshooting their OS is something many beginners are not looking forwards
to do(hi-hi). Perhaps a BIG warning in RED could be on Ubuntu's download page
addressing this reality-for anyone considering to download this OS ? That may
spare Ubuntu from plenty of complications ?
Either way, the process is already underway and presently the Lenovo M81 has
no OS now, so what to do other than persist/keep searching for a solution?
Could you indicate concise steps to repairing the GRUB on the only harddrive on
the Lenovo M81 via the usb stick ? This PC has only one Harddrive. No usb
drive plugged in and one empty CD/DVD drive.
On this Lenovo M81 Bios Setup Utility ->Startup there is ;

Boot Mode ; (has 3 choices ;
1) AUTO (priority UEFI then Legacy) 2) Legacy 3) EUFI
-presently the 'Boot Order ' is set to LEGACY
Quick Boot is now been DISABLED
DEVICES->
Configure SATA as ;
1 AHCI or 2) IDE
....it was AHCI so changed it to IDE*
Native Mode Operation is ENABLED
Hard Disk Pre-Delay DISABLED
External SATA Port ENABLED
SATA Controller ENABLED
Guess What (hi-hi) again ,it' error 1962: No operating system found 😢
So will return all settings to default and try your 2nd suggestion. p.s. . .
.unfortunately we live in an isolated small village & know no one around here
who is experienced with this *
So ran Ubuntu from the usb stick & typed lsblk into the terminal and got;
sda
----sda1 512M
l____sda2 465.3G
sbd 7.5G
l__sbd1 7.5G part/cdrom
So ran in the terminal sudo grub-install /dev/sda2
but the terminal said it could not be found?So shut it down & unplugged the dvd
drive so only the one harddrive is working.....(you can hear it working
slightly while loading the programs)
Then made a new bootable usb of UbuntuStudio19.10 with Etcher this time
(instead of Rufus last time)and before installing highlighted "check disk for
errors" &pressed enter-which took a while but eventually it said everything is
okay. So installed UbuntuStudio (erase disk completely & install UbuntuStudio
option)but for the first time (after 3or 4 previous attempts over the past few
days)got this pop up while the GRUB was installing ; GRUB installation
failed....The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into / target
/. . ..Installer crashed ...we're sorry ...........file report
Mind you something must be working because this message is being written to you
on the same PC ?
