After installing ubuntu when ever I restart the computer it goes to the screen that gives me options to Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu. What do I do here? I've been through the installation process multiple times. If I take out boot drive I get No bootable device.

  • Your install media should only be the 'boot' drive during installation; once you've installed you should eject your install-media and the bootable drive should be the hdd/sdd/device you installed ubuntu on to. We can only assume it was a hdd or sdd as it is for most, and you've told us nothing else. Getting the hdd/sdd to boot is a BIOS issue so look for options there – guiverc Dec 17 '17 at 08:47

  • Do you have two hard drives or any two storage connected via the same cable? – SaidbakR Dec 17 '17 at 09:06
  • My computer is an acer es1. I was looking into this and it seems to be a problem with acer, here is a link: http://william.shallum.net/random-notes/uefi-linux-install-on-acer-aspire-es1-111m. How do I know which esp file to trust? – enzobarrett Dec 17 '17 at 09:07
  • shimx64.efi is the signed bootloader if you want secure boot on. grubx64.efi is the unsigned bootloader if you want secure boot off. – ravery Dec 17 '17 at 09:16

  1. Use UEFI and secure boot
  2. Set supervisor passcode and select shimx64.efi as trusted if you want secure boot on, select grubx64.efi if you want secure off.
