Chris, this is not appropriate handling of a bug that has already been marked 'triaged' by the developers. Especially since this bug was reported against an LTS release that is still supported, we should not be asking users to re-test with a newer release to see if the bug is still present. For

Have discussed with cyphermox on IRC; since the rest of the bootloader installation code is in grub-install, we should do this as well in the same place instead of having grub-install and shim-signed compete with one another. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Triaged **

As previously expressed; we probably *shouldn't* ship EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi; but since Windows often does, there might be no way around it. Firmwares are supposed to follow the BootEntries to know what path to use for booting (ie. we create "ubuntu", which points to \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi). If

Yes it was set as the default first and active item in the BootOrder in efibootmgr -v output. Also worth to mention – if I haven't already – is that the device only offers to change the priority of physical devices in firmware settings, OS specific NVRAM entries are at least not displayed anywhere
