I looked in your syslog for where grub installed and didn't find it. If it went to a partition, not the drive itself, that would explain why you don't see it. If grub was installed, then cd /var/log/installer/ grep -i grub * should turn up something like: syslog:Dec 3 17:45:45 grub-installer: info: Additionally installing shim-signed to go with grub-efi-amd64 syslog:Dec 3 17:45:46 grub-installer: info: Installing grub on '/dev/nvme0n1' syslog:Dec 3 17:45:46 grub-installer: info: grub-install does not support --no-floppy syslog:Dec 3 17:45:46 grub-installer: info: Running chroot /target grub-install --force "/dev/nvme0n1" syslog:Dec 3 17:45:46 grub-installer: Installing for x86_64-efi platform. syslog:Dec 3 17:45:46 grub-installer: Installation finished. No error reported. syslog:Dec 3 17:45:46 grub-installer: info: grub-install ran successfully What you want to know is where exactly grub was installed. For grub to boot both operating systems, it should be on the hard drive itself, not a partition. In this case, /dev/nvme0n1. For SATA disks, it should be on /dev/sda (assuming that's your boot drive). So not /dev/nvme0n1p3 (or some such) or /dev/sda4. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
