How can I approach fixing this bug? (SOLVED)
Multi tool use
I attempted to reinstall Ubuntu 18.04.1 on my Acer Spin 5.
installation appeared to go fine, but then when I restarted -
Failed to open EFIBOOTmmx64.efi - Not Found
Failed to load image EFIBOOTmmx64.efi: Not Found
Failed to start MokManager: Not Found
Something has gone seriously wrong: import_mok_state() failed
: Not Found
for context -
I was running Ubuntu 18.04.1 on my Acer with an 8 GB swap partition for a while with no issues - had originally installed using a bootable USB with ISO disc file.
got all my files off the hard drive and put the USB in - booted from it and attempted to install by selecting normal installation, opted to erase Ubuntu 18.04.1 and reinstall - I've included a picture of what happens when I attempt to restart. I trawled through a myriad of other posts by people who seem to have a similar problem but I'm still none the wiser...

Solution:
Enter BIOS and ensure Secure Boot is disabled. I then performed the following actions:
- Select Security
- Select "Erase Secure Boot settings"
- Select "Restore Secure Boot to factory default"
- Press F10 (restart)
- Enter BIOS
- Select Security
- Select "Select UEFI file as trusted for executing"
- Select "HDD0", select "EFI", select "ubuntu", select "grubx64.efi", name it "grubx64efi", press Enter key twice
- Disable Secure Boot (I did not adjust my load-order in any way before disabling Secure Boot)
- Press F10
Everything booted up just fine.
Here are two resources for further references. Cheers to Niclas Borlin and jacobbrett for solving this problem.

The problem obviously starts when the loader cannot find EFIBOOTmmx64.efi
.
Can you boot from Ubuntu live CD or USB and check the content of the partition that was mounted to EFIBOOT
? I am guessing /dev/sda1
. If there is another .efi file there (grubx64.efi
being the primary suspect), you could try to copy or rename it to mmx64.efi
and reboot.

Niclas, thank you very much for your answer. I'm an Ubuntu novice and a Linux beginner...I don't know how to check the content of any partitions in Ubuntu...do you know any resources that explain how to do that? thank you

We need more info about the partition. Do the following to list the content of the EFI partition: 1. Boot into a live CD/USB. 2. Open a terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-T). 3. Create mount point withsudo mkdir /tmp/sda1
. 4. Mount as read-only withsudo mount -o ro /dev/sda1 /tmp/sda1
. 5. Check content of partition withls /tmp/sda1
. If you getEFI
as the printout, you have the right partition. 6. Runtree --charset unicode /tmp/sda1
and paste the result here.

I followed your instructions using Mint terminal but i'm assuming that's no big deal. printout screenshot: imgur.com/a/Z2H35oq pasted: tmp/sda1-- EFI |-- BOOT | |-- BOOTX64.EFI |
