Bug Description
WORKAROUND:
Boot into the live cd
Open a terminal
Type sudo mount /dev/sda1 /tmp
cd /tmp/EFI/
sudo mkdir boot
sudo touch boot/bootx64.efi
sudo reboot
When you see the DELL logo tap on F2
Select Boot Sequence
Select Add Boot Option
In the new window add the Following:
Boot Option Name : Ubuntu
File Name: Tap the three dots and select EFI/ubuntu/
Check the Ubuntu entry and uncheck UEFI: SAMSUNG SSD....
Apply and Exit
The system will now boot.
STEPS:
1. Get an XPS 13 with ubuntu preinstalled
2. Install a newer version of Ubuntu
3. In the install select Wipe Disk and install
EXPECTED:
I expect the system to boot
ACTUAL:
The dev/sda1 is wiped removing the EFI boot partition
This is replaced but the dell bios expects to find /EFI/boot/
The Workaround describes the steps to fix this till a full solution is found.
This is here as a workaround doc more than a bug.
