I can confirm the /efi directory is back, although with different capitalization than before: Focal: /EFI /EFI/BOOT /EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.EFI /EFI/BOOT/grubx64.efi /EFI/BOOT/mmx64.efi Groovy: /efi/ /efi/boot /efi/boot/bootx64.efi /efi/boot/grubx64.efi /efi/boot/mmx64.efi This is a bit annoying

@sudodus, you're right. I just tested the 2020.10.04 daily build and, as opposed to the beta, it does contain a /efi/ directory at root level with all the relevant files. If this is carried out into the release, then, as far as I am concerned, this bug can be closed. -- You received this bug

@ Akeo, If I understand correctly, this bug is fixed in the current daily Groovy iso files. These files are newer than the Groovy beta iso files. http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/413/builds I can extract the content of an iso file to a FAT32 partition and get a USB boot drive, that

Any update on this? As a reminder, ALL that is being asked from this bug is to duplicate the files and directories currently found in /boot/grub/efi.img to the root level of the ISO. That's it. It's a very straightforward fix, and, with the beta now being out, the need to fix this becomes

Hi, This bug is affecting the automated ISO testing of the Desktop and Server images, as UTAH (the test framework) validates the EFI files contained in the main iso9660 filesystem as part of the ISO static validation stage. An actual install with UEFI boot is also performed as part of the test

Just going to point out that I was NOT talking about limiting file names to 8.3. FAT32/vfat does has LFN support, and the UEFI FAT driver supports LFN as well, so, NO, what I was talking about was not about suddenly asking distro maintainers to use 8.3 names. It's only about case sensitivity

Hi Thomas. Glad to see you onboard here as well. ;) First of all, I guess I should point out that UEFI bootloader boot from non ESP partitions is hardly a "trick". It is de-facto. That behaviour comes from the EDK2 source itself and, as my recent dealings with EDK2 indicate (in [1]) that the
