    Linux Boot questions

    Hello,

    I have this nice litte box and want to use it as a server. So after a power down, it should boot Linux directly, without pressing a button. I didn't find a bios setting to get this.

    I have following entries in /dev/: mmcblk0 mmcblk0boot0 mmcblk0boot1 mmcblk0p1 mmcblk0p2 mmcblk0rpmb

    EFI partition is mmcblk0p1, system is mmcblk0p2. When the computer starts, it always wants to start windows and I have to go to the bios settings to start Ubuntu. Can it directly start Ubuntu?

    Thanks.

        I think you have to edit /etc/default/grub, then use "grup update"

        Code:
        [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Ubuntubeta]GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true (it should boot the last booted OS)[/FONT][/COLOR]
        or
        Code:
        GRUB_DEFAULT="insert menu entry here"
        GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
        GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false
        GRUB_TIMEOUT=1

          Thanks for the info, although this didn't succeed. grub-update is not known, but update-grub runs. I removed /EFI/BOOT/BOOTIA32.EFI and replaced it with /EFI/UBUNTU/GRUB.EFI . With both versions I see a grub menu, but can't start any entries and get no failure info, only black screen. Now I have to make a false entry in this menu, then grub calls the efi shell, in efi shell I can do "fs0:" "\EFI\UBUNTU\GRUB.EFI" which shows a working grub menu.

            Solved

            Thanks to Galland, this issue seems to be solved:
            I just disabled Quiet Boot and now it starts as it should
