Bug Description
These are the steps that I try:
First delete nvme0n1 data by filling the disk with zero's. This is done using AOMEI partition wizard on medicat USB.
Backbox OS USB won't boot unless I type in the boot menu 'nomodeset'.
I intend to install backbox OS (ubuntu 18.02 LTS) on 256 GB SDD, nvme0n1
The partitions are as followed:
50 mb reserved BIOS
512 mb EPS
500 mb /boot
16 GB for swap
and the rest of the SDD-space is intended for /
I always get the following error:
grub-efi-
After rebooting I enter grub rescue
I have tried the following to fix this error:
I used the live USB and installed boot-repair on it.
Boot-repair does not function due to a lot of bugs
I installed Peppermint OS onto a USB and used boot-repair again.
However boot-repair did not function due to a lot of bugs
I have had Backbox OS working before, there were no issues with the installation
I hope you have a solution to this problem.
