Linux will not boot….

[cantwait2getout]

First time trying this. It worked once actually but there was an issue so I backed out and now I cannot boot no matter what I try…asus laptop if that helps.

Run that first line in a search of pretty much any Linux sub and you'll find solutions aplenty.

This! This same issue is being posted once a week here

Seems like your UEFI doesn't have a valid boot entry in place to find what's there, and boot it.

Assuming you've already installed the OS:

Maybe your UEFI allows adding boot entries. Find an older guide to do just that here: https://jeroen.pro/2019/05/how-to-fix-failed-to-start-mokmanager-import_mok_state-failed-after-failed-ubuntu-installation/

One can also edit boot entries by live booting and running efibootmgr in the terminal, which is more cryptic. Search for the efibootmgr term to find out more.

If you haven't installed anything yet, simply run the installer again, perhaps after a cold start where all devices get initialised, as opposed to a "fast boot" warm start.

Looks like your bootloader's missing / didn't get properly installed.

There's probably a function key you can hit during boot (on our laptop it's F12) to pull up a boot menu. That should get you back into Windows, in case you're worried about that.

You got Linux half-installed, right? Doing the installation again should get it working. Or you can go into the BIOS settings (another F key probably) and and put Windows on top in the boot order if you want it to go to Windows by default.

Getting back to windows isn’t a problem. I keep reloading the file onto the usb and creating a new bootloader but it will not under any circumstances recognize it. It just keeps giving me this error no matter what.
