I have an issue on my Dell G7 7588. After I runned boot-repair on USB live, after rebooting the same message of Grub GNU 2.0 appears "minimal bash like-line editing is supported..."

I've been following instruction here to boot ubuntu from my sabrent sata enclosure: Creating a PC-Boot-able Ubuntu Installation

Here is the link after running boot-repair: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7FZgdwX7JW/

The message says "Please do not forget to make your BIOS boot on sda3/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi file, which I have already adjusted on my BIOS.

Have been stuck on this problem for 3 days already. Its my first time using ubuntu and I am keen to get some work done on it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Okay I found the solution after tinkering around GRUB. Thanks @ChanganAuto for indicating to me the issue. But basically you have list the files on the Grub terminal:

Grub> ls

It should list all your mounted drives. Find the directory that contains your linux folder for example:

Grub> ls (hd0,gpt3)/

Once you find the folder that contains the linux installation, which should have: home/ boot/ lost+found etc. Set that folder as root folder following instructions from this post: Grub loads instead of Ubuntu whenever my HP streambook reboots

The commands are as follows:

grub> set root=(hd0,gpt3) #this is the folder with all the files I was talking about.
grub> configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg

You will see that GRUB eventually boots to ubuntu. Open terminal and enter this:

sudo apt-get install grub-efi-amd64
sudo update-grub

Problem solved, and you can finally start using ubuntu. Hope this helps anyone so they don't get stuck like I did.
