Comment 16 for bug 1851955

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

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.
