Public bug reported: Currently attempting to install ubuntu 20.04 alongside Windows 11 on my HP laptop. I have tried the boot-repair service on previous installation attempts yet still receive errors when that program attempts to repair grub. If it is any help, here is the pastebin of the errors from boot- repair from a few weeks ago:
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/45dnxkjfHG/ It seems like these lines are most important: ********************************************************************************************* grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/efi --target=x86_64-efi Installing for x86_64-efi platform. grub-install: error: cannot open `/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi': Not a directory.
