I'm a noob at Ubuntu, but when I enter in the UEFI boot menu, Ubuntu appears twice (like this: Ubuntu (P0 : ST750LM022 HN-M750MBB).

I installed Ubuntu in UEFI mode as my only operating system, removing Win 7.I, and when I finished creating the partitions, the installer prompted me to create another partition, UEFI boot or something like this, so I had to create that one as well.

Is this bad?

Here's a screen shot of gparted: gparted screen shot

  • I'm on 8.1 and when I get to that screen the first option is something like BootLoader and then there are 2 ubuntu entries. I always just used the first. Never went in other to see if would just boot the same or fail. That is if we're taking about same screen. I have to hit f9, this screen comes up. I select second option that is ubuntu, then I finally get to grub where I can again select ubuntu. If I don't do this, grub never loads and Windows boots. Pretty sure were taking about same thing. It like bootloader, 2 listing of Ubuntu and then some UEFI option – geoffmcc Jan 06 '15 at 20:46
  • Can you post a screen shot of the gparted window and drop me a note @Fabby? – Fabby Jan 07 '15 at 17:14

  • You can remove obsolete entries with efibootmgr (How do I remove “Ubuntu” in the bios boot menu? (UEFI)). But better leave it as it is unless you want to fiddle with UEFI and possibly discover firmware bugs that leave you puzzled and waste time. – LiveWireBT Jan 08 '15 at 06:51

No it's not bad...

It's not beautiful neither, but it's not bad. Knowing that UEFI gives lots of people trouble, ignore it! Don't try to fix a working system!
