help with grub Anonymous 04/01/26(Wed)14:52:14 No.108502911

I'm trying to install ubuntu on my laptop. Due to unfortunate circumstances. grub fails at installation. boot-repair tool says it's about locked nvram. I tried to install grub with flags --no-nvram and --removable by following ((((ai)))). It told me to
Mount new root: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
Mount EFI: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
sudo mount --bind /run /mnt/run
sudo chroot /mnt
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=ubuntu --removable --no-nvram
exit
unmount (sudo umount /mnt/{dev,proc,sys,run,boot/efi}
sudo umount /mnt
Reboot.

Unfortunately it didn't work. Please tell me the correct way to do this. My shitty laptop (lenovo ideapad 100-15ibd) just won't unlock its nvram.

>install gentoo
please help me

are you by chance dual booting?
also, generally speaking, locked nvram isn't a big problem, it just means it failed to reorder the boot partition order, which you can do manually in uefi.

also why are you making a chroot by hand, when ubuntu install iso probably has the option to set it up automatically?

Why are you asking us? I thought you had AI now and developers are no longer needed.

I'm not dual booting.

>locked nvram isn't a big problem
I tried to install, but it returned an error: "Can't install bootloader. Command <pre>grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory =/boot/efi --bootloader-id=ubuntu -force</pre? return error code 1. I used kubuntu's Startup Disk Creator, not dd, to create the live pendrive.

>why are you making a chroot by hand
That was what ai told me to do after I failed with the installation, honestly didn't understand this step.

>>108503010
I'm not in the ai=good camp, I just use it for simple problems, I thought it might work. Are you going to lynch me because I used the forbidden tech?

The use efistub. Grub does nothing but add unnecessary complexity to your boot process

Honestly I'd have to go back to windows since what else? I'm busy currently, maybe some day I will have time.
