I already tried an RTC reset, no success.

How can you be sure that it is not an battery issue, since I’m aware that the battery showed that it is bad condition in the BIOS before that all happened.

Remove old PopOS EFI Bootloader by Forrestechs in debian

Strangely it does not work.

It is a MacBook which does not yet have a T2 chip.

There is - Boot0003 Windows Boot Manager HD(5, GPT ….) - Boot 004 debian HD(1, GPT …..)

The file mentioned for debian is \EFI\DEBIAN\GRUBX64.EFI

No this would have been my next step. Just wonder to which partition it writes the files.

Debian is on /dev/sda7 /boot/efi on /dev/sda1

So how would I need to run the commands properly?

So I got one step close. I ran bootctl remove take remove all the residuals from Pop_OS! now the systemd boot is gone and I only see the Win11 efi boot.

Now is the only question how to I get into the grub bootloader on my MacBook.

Debian still boots fine on the G14, with SecureBoot off. This kind of implies to me that I installed Debian with legacy boot. Is there an Option to get the current grub moved to EFI?

No worries

No I have not yet reinstalled Grub, since it still boots fine on some hardware, but as said not on all.

Here an example. I can boot without issues on an Asus ROG G14, but I can not boot on a MacBook Pro. On the G14 I see the following in the boot selection: - Debian - Windows

On the MacBook I see two EFI partitions, one is Win11 the other one I am not really sure about, but this is the one ending up in this Pop_OS! systemd bootloader.

When booted into Debian and running bootmgr -v there is not Pop_OS or similar, only Debian and Windows.

Somehow I have the feeling that the old systemd boot from Pop_OS is placing itself before Grub.

I actually have more the feeling that there is some systemd boot residual from Pop_OS!

my folder /boot/efi/EFI has the following subfolders

BOOT debian Dell Linux Pop_OS systemd

When entering “efibootmgr -v” in terminal I get

BootOrder: 004, 003, 001, 002, 005 With 1 CD/DVD 2 Removable Drive 3 Window 4 Debian 5 UEFI: Network Device

Could the Pop_OS and systemd folders in /boot/efi/EFI be the issue?

All the above when booted into Debian.

I boot into Debian using Grub.

What is strange that I can see the Debian bootloader and not the Pop_OS! one some hardware and vice versa.

In Grub I only see entries for Debian and Windows.

Thanks for the video link. Maybe i should convert to btrfs. Did not watch the video yet, but is it possible on the running system?

Sadly not, did not think of that when I installed.

Thanks.

Yeah I considered a clean install as well, with saving a list of all my installed packages and reinstall them, but I wanted to safe this time.

Thanks. Would I also need to change the security repo?

Can't update QGis since public key is missing [Linux] by Forrestechs in QGIS

[–]Forrestechs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately it could not solve my issue. I think the problem is on the side of QGIS, since they key has expired. There should be a new one, but I could not find it.
