|    need to add EFI option to Ubuntu (grub)     |
|    15 Oct 23 00:29:00    |
      From: usenet@writer.com              I deleted 2 ext4 partitions and extended my ntfs (Windows) partition by       additional 98 GiB, which left about 45 GiB space at the end of the SSD.       Next, I installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 at the end of the SSD using the 22.04.3       installer on a thumb drive. This gave me back my boot menu, which had       disappeared when I deleted Ubuntu - good.              The new boot menu has no option to enter EFI setup. I really want that       option on the menu - I really want that. Someone suggested this problem       might be because I booted my Ubuntu 22.04.3 installer in 'compatibility'       mode, instead of EFI mode. They said if Ubuntu does not have the directory       sys.firmware.efi       then I must have booted the installer in compatibility mode. However I       DO have directory       sys.firmware.efi. Furthermore, nowhere do I find an option to choose       "compatibility" or "EFI" when booting the Ubuntu installer.              Can anyone tell me how to add the EFI option to the (grub) boot menu.              TIA.
