I haven't used refind... And upside is LL installs and works as normal, you may want to reach out to the DEVs at refind for assistance....

Hello,

If you have secure boot disabled

Yes, I have.

Quote
install as per the manual it should work as normal when using Ubuntu

Installation was OK.

...from the default windows manager, I believe this is what you see, else set ubuntu in boot options in 'bios'...

This worked also but if I choose UBUNTU, GRUB appears… this not useful.

If everything works as it should then you could try Refind...

I have installed Refind as you can read in my previous post but I have the same problem that GRUB appears when I choose UBUNTU.
It is why I have uninstalled GRUB and why I have the problem that REFIND searches for GRUB !
I wonder which line I have to write in refind.conf to achieve to start UBUNTU directly from REFIND without GRUB.

This leads to my two previous questions :

First Question :
- How to modify the Refind config File in order to be able to launch LL ?

Second question :
- on my second computer, how to install LL without GRUB ? By not creating a EFI partition ?


Both replies are important to me.

Hoping to read you soon

Regards

Hello everybody,

No idea ?
Is it the first time it occurs ?


@MarcDriver it maybe refind??
If you have secure boot disabled and install as per the manual it should work as normal when using Ubuntu from the default windows manager, I believe this is what you see, else set ubuntu in boot options in 'bios'...

If everything works as it should then you could try refind...
You'll need a boot loader, grub, to use LL...

You can change how long grub is displayed if you prefer not to see it...


Maybe some ideas????

Hello,

I tried to installed on one of the 2 laptops I own LL50 and installed also refind from Windows 10.
- Refind works well
but
when I choose "Ubuntu" which is the label of LL for boot, It opens on GRUB which proposes also to all the OS I Have on my computer.
I made a search and I found on a Ubuntu forum how to leave Grub and I applied on my LL.
However,
when I launch LL vie Refind, it searches Grub without success and I cannot launch LL !

First Question :
- How to modify the Refind config File in order to be able to launch LL ?

Second question :
- on my second computer, how to install LL without GRUB ? By not creating a EFI partition ?


Both replies are important to me.

Hoping to read you soon

Regards
