relevant error at line 3 -> writes 'grubx64.efi' instead of 'shimx64.efi'. This will be overwriten by line 4!

generating a correct line 3 manually as' shimx64.efi' will start / reboot fine.

this error was found on several systems and is reproducible after downgrading to 2.00 and upgrading back
 * UbuntuGNOME
 * Ububtu (Unity)
In all cases the entry inside NVRAM pointed out the 'shimx66.efi' file
