overview for TonyTonyChopper

I figured it out. The issue had nothing to do with my Linux installation. My motherboard had a hidden option to change the UEFI boot order, which is entirely separate from choosing which drive to boot from.

Hi, I just did my first Linux install (Kubuntu) onto an external NVME drive. It boots fine on my laptop but gives me a "MBR error, insert floppy" screen when I try to run it on my desktop. On the motherboard settings the drive shows as a bootable option but without a UEFI label. What issues could cause this? From what I've read it seems like a boot loader problem but I have no idea why it would be fine on one device but not another. I tried to update the motherboard firmware but the file the manufacturer provides wasn't working. It's running a 2021 version.

Edit: I figured it out. The issue had nothing to do with my Linux installation. My motherboard had a hidden option to change the UEFI boot order, which is entirely separate from choosing which drive to boot from.

All this hysteria over nuclear weapons is overblown. We've known how to build them for 75 years yet there hasn't been a single one detonated on inhabited American soil. They're harmless

This was my first time soldering and it went pretty well. On booting it up the LEDs weren't working on one side and one key wasn't registering, a quick hit with the iron got it going fine.

Valve is motivated by money. But their strategy is to make excellent products, that put the customers first. A rare sight these days.
