HP Recommended
Product: OMEN Gaming Laptop 16-ap0000ca
Operating System: Ubuntu LTS

Hello,

 

I'm trying to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 11 on my Omen laptop.  I first installed Ubuntu, and it worked fine until I installed Windows. After that, Ubuntu was no longer a boot option in my bios. I needed to select the "Boot from EFI" and manually select the Linux EFI to get in. I tried reinstalling everything in the opposite order, windows then linux, but ubuntu still isn't a boot option. It still works if I manually select the efi file, but I see no way of adding it as a boot option. When I'm in linux, I can see that there should be a boot option using efibootmgr. It seems as though the laptop refuses to show any other boot options if it detects a windows install.

 

Thank you.
