Mageia forum

I just installed mageia 8 from a live usb on a laptop with windows 10.
The problem is that after restarting grub doesn't appear, and windows boots as usual. I'm able to enter mageia only from the boot menu that opens when clicking f9.
I already upgraded grub and disabled secure boot in windows, but there are no improvements. I also tried to change the boot order, but it seems there isn't that option.
Anybody has an idea of how to solve it?

Could you post the output as root of

Code: Select all

efibootmgr -v

Could you mention some more details about what laptop model you have ?

it's an HP ENVY x360 Convertible 13-ay0xxx
cpu is AMD Ryzen 5 4500U with Radeon Graphics, 2375 Mhz
motherboard is HP 876E PJUPLJ2MYEC81H 12.43
system disk is KBG40ZNV512G KIOXIA

Hope this will be helpful

There are instructions in the wiki:

Especially for HP machines:

There are some developments: I ran the command mv /boot/EFI/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi /boot/EFI/EFI/Microsoft/bootmgfw.efi
Now grub opens when starting the computer, but windows is not shown...

You have now to rerun the grub2 (Bootloader) configuration to find Windows. You can do this also via MCC. You have to tick the box "Probe other OS"

Probe other os is already on, but still not working

Fixed the problem by changing bootloader, now I'm using refind.
