| Sep 17 at 15:35 | comment | added | ChanganAuto | Ok, thanks. Here's the thing: The same way you see "Windows Bootloader Manager" there should be also one "Ubuntu" if Grub has been correctly installed. You may want to try Boot Repair: help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair (2nd option is preferable because up-to-date; it can be easily installed in a live session; it won't survive said live session, of course). Also it's better to look at the report before suggesting anything so please "Create a BootInfo Summary", grab the URL and edit the question adding it. | |
| Sep 17 at 15:28 | comment | added | Xavier Prudent | I see, then let me directly show you. I have added some screenshots of the startup panel (F12 at boot) | |

| Sep 17 at 13:44 | comment | added | ChanganAuto | That's NOT the boot order. UEFI mode is NOT the same as the old BIOS mode! Any firmware since 2012 has a specific OS - not drive - boot order. What you just mentioned is the order by which the firmware reads the drives looking for the ESP (EFI System Partition) where it should find one or more boot entries. | |
| Sep 17 at 13:29 | comment | added | Xavier Prudent | In the boot order, I have excluded the Windows Boot Manager, and have in the boot priority order : USB HDD, USB CD, USB FDD, NVME0 samsung, pxe boot, lenovo cloud, on-premise, other cd, other hdd | |
| Sep 17 at 13:16 | comment | added | ChanganAuto | You should have checked (and do it anyway now) in UEFI settings > Boot menu and assure "Ubuntu" (Grub) is the 1st OS selection. Again, what you describe seems to be something from Windows. It shouldn't happen if you have a single drive and selected the option you say was selected but still it's worth checking. With more than one drive boot stanzas may persist in the original ESP. | |
| Sep 17 at 12:42 | comment | added | Xavier Prudent | thanks, I was hesitating between stack and unix OF, More information: I choose to install Ubuntu and erase the previous system. Once it is installed and asks for a reboot, the usb sticks is removed, the lenovo logo appears, and then I see "Reset system" on the top left of a black screen, and it boots again. I had tried with Ventoy, and now I tried using the dd command for a full bootable stick. Both result in a boot loop. | |
| Sep 17 at 10:33 | comment | added | ChanganAuto | And how does that "boot loop with 'Reset system'" looks like exactly? Isn't something from the original Windows? | |
| Sep 17 at 8:12 | comment | added | ChanganAuto | By "install Ubuntu with the default features" do you mean you chose to use all drive? i.e. erase everything? If so it should have created all the necessary partitions and just work... | |
