I performed a clean installation of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on my PC in the dual boot configuration using UEFI mode. I used the "Something else..." option during disk selection and followed this tutorial, How to use manual partitioning during installation?, on how to do it.
Windows is installed on a separate SSD. Installation was successful, but after a restart the PC didn't boot and I was not able to access BIOS/UEFI. After clearing the CMOS, and setting the boot order manually to use Ubuntu, GRUB was showing both operating systems and Ubuntu worked normally.
However, after each restart, I have to reset BIOS settings and set boot order for PC to boot at all.
- I disabled secure boot in UEFI and disabled fast boot in Windows.
- I already tried reinstalling Ubuntu 3 times, but each time I had similar problems.
- I also tried using Boot-Repair tool, but it didn't help,
I have an MSI X570 ACE motherboard and Nvidia RTX 2070 SUPER GPU.
This Boot-info summary report was generated after another reinstall, where I tried using different partitioning schema using this tutorial: Dual Boot Windows 10 and Linux Ubuntu on Separate Hard Drives.
I had to set this boot order, so that I would be able to boot using Ubuntu from a USB drive. I did not update either SSD firmware or UEFI. I installed nVidia drivers by clicking install additional drivers during OS installation. I set swap partition as big because i have 32GB of RAM, and I read that it is supposed to be bigger that my memory size. When I set boot order in a way you describe I am able to boot to Ubuntu and everything works flawlessly, but after reboot I am not able to do anything and have to reset BIOS settings to use my PC.
I performed a reset with the Ubuntu power-off option. When I booted Windows from GRUB everything worked well, so what is causing the issue is the booting of Ubuntu itself. I tried finding "fast boot" in MSI UEFI but I did not find it anywhere. According to this Polish website (there is also a screenshot included), there is no fast boot option in MB for Ryzen CPUs. I was thinking about trying to install a different distro and checking if it would work properly.
What else could I do?
