I have an Acer Extensa 2511 where I installed Ubuntu MATE 16.04 (Windows is not installed) Today, after a software update (which required a reboot), the reboot failed.
I ran boot-repair.
After that, and after trying and changing boot settings in the setup (for example I indicated grubx64.efi or shimx64.efi as a reliable file), now the situation is :
on start I get a blue window saying "no bootable device"
but, if I hit Enter, the system goes to a "boot menu":
there, if I hit Enter again on "unknown HDD"...I finally get the GRUB menu, which seems to reliably start Ubuntu
Now: Grub seems to work correctly, but the system doesn't go directly to the appropriate EFI file ?!?
The system seems to believe that the disk is not bootable when it in fact it is ?!?
I'd like this computer to go directly to the GRUB menu without having to hit Enter twice
Can you help me?
I add that I have two separated partitions: /boot/efi on /dev/sda1 (fat32) and /boot on /dev/sda2
...in fact I ran boot-repair three times, AFTER THE FIRST TIME the report is: here PRESENT SITUATION (I ran it again, ASKING TO ONLY WRITE ITS REPORT) here is the second report
What follows is the directory listing of the partition /boot/efi
$ ls -l /boot/efi/
