I don't have a working Linux system to update GRUB.
The one thing that I haven't been able to pursue is modifying GRUB. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can get Ubuntu to boot and install on this laptop? I really dislike using Windows and I seem to be stuck using it right now. The closest I've seem to come was with the Debian installer (ncurses I think).īut I did not want to go through with install before I could boot and run in live mode to make sure that the laptop will work once Linux successfully boots.
But nothing gets me any closer to booting. I've tried everything imaginable: I've disabled fastboot (bios and windows), tried booting with secure boot disabled (and enabled using a trusted boot efi file), I've shutdown windows from command line to get around 'unclean file system' error, I've downgraded bios and upgraded bios. I've searched and searched for a work around. When you start, just press F12 to access the pendrive. 'Problem loading UEFI:db X.509 certificate'. Enable Boot Mod on Bios that enables F12 function. However I've tried numerous distributions.
