Hi Sri Thanks for the information. The HP Envy does not come with an optical drive as with many notebooks these days, so therefore none should show in BIOS. It does have 4 USB ports and all are working. I use one for a wireless mouse, another for a WiFi dongle (its internal WiFi card is dodgy, as

And, just to note an observation fwiw, in response to comment #10, the non-existant boot order variables probably corresponded to a USB drive and an optical drive that were set in the BIOS Boot Order, but are physically not present (the actual CD/DVD and a bootable USB stick). I do see them set in

Thanks. Since this fails for you both with efibootmgr and with grub, that suggests there might be a bug in the underlying efivar library. Opening a task on that package. Can you try installing the libefiboot1 and libefivar1 packages from

The error message appears to be correct, you have both 2002 and 2003 in your BootOrder but neither is present in your list of boot options. I don't think this is the cause of the grub failure. Could you try instead running the command: sudo efibootmgr -o ,3000,0001,0002,2001; echo $? and

Ok. Ian, Sri, could you also both check whether running efibootmgr on Ubuntu 19.10 succeeds? Probably the easiest check is a no-op rewrite of the boot order variable. Ian, for you the command would be: sudo efibootmgr -o ,3000,0001,0002,2001,2002,2003; echo $? Sri, for you the command
