fedora – Missing Ubuntu and Windows entries in UEFI boot menu
I encountered an issue where my Ubuntu and Windows entries were missing from the UEFI boot menu after installing Fedora in Legacy mode. I attempted to use the Boot Repair tool in Ubuntu to fix the problem, but it failed with an error message stating “Error: NVRAM is locked” and “ubuntu not found in efibootmgr.”
I recently installed Fedora in Legacy mode on my Lenovo IdeaPad 330 15IKBR laptop, and as a result, the entries for Ubuntu and Windows disappeared from the UEFI boot menu. I tried using the Boot Repair tool in Ubuntu (running from a live Linux USB) to fix the issue, but it encountered an error with the message “Error: NVRAM is locked” and “ubuntu not found in efibootmgr.”
Here are the steps I’ve taken so far:
- Installed Fedora in Legacy mode alongside Ubuntu and Windows.
- Noticed that the Ubuntu and Windows entries were missing from the UEFI boot menu.
- Used the Boot Repair tool in Ubuntu to repair the boot loader.
- Encountered the error “Error: NVRAM is locked” and “ubuntu not found in efibootmgr.”
After that, I’ve taken some other steps:
I am currently running a live Linux USB in UEFI mode and have encountered issues when trying to add UEFI entries for Ubuntu and Windows via the terminal.
- Installed the
efibootmgrpackage usingapt-get. - Attempted to create UEFI entries for Ubuntu and Windows using the
efibootmgrcommand. - Verified the entries using
efibootmgrand confirmed that they were present. - However, after rebooting the system, the UEFI options did not display the desired entries.
I really don’t know what to do anymore.
