Do you have latest UEFI firmware from Dell?
And latest firmware for any NVMe or SATA SSD drives?
How many drives do you have installed?
If you have a NVMe drive, it may conflict with one of the...
Windows only installs in old BIOS mode to MBR(msdos) partitioned drives.
So Windows install was BIOS. You then boot from MBR. And boot flag must be on the NTFS partition with boot files. It would...
For me going from RAM (booted with toram parameter) to SSD, its about 10 min.
I do find it takes almost an hour for full install to a slow USB flash drive.
If 6 hrs, something is wrong?
I think...
You cannot install Windows to an external drive. Just the installer. And best to make USB flash drive installer from Windows as its ISO now uses a .wim file that is too large for the required FAT32...
UEFI or BIOS system?
Have not installed server for years and then just as a test.
But there was this option from terminal.
sudo ubiquity -b
But server now uses subiquity installer, do not...
Not supposed to use sudo with gui apps. You may be saving files with root when they should be your user.
You may be able to use sudo -H
see
man sudo
you can run (note no space)
Also what version/flavor of Ubuntu?
There now are several different installers.
Older Ubuntu used Ubiquity which has a bug on install to any drive other than first internal drive.
Newer Ubuntu...
Do you have SSD or only HDD?
Boot is a lot faster with SSD. I changed from SSD to NVMe type SSD and it is a bit faster my older system. But person at keyboard still seems to be bottleneck, and if...
Glad you got it working.
Cold boot does not always work or work first time. Various capacitors or other parts hold a charge for a while, so system does not see a full reset.
With laptops even...
The efivars is mounted in mount command, so one of default mounts.
efivarfs on /sys/firmware/efi/efivars type efivarfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)

What were results of "cold" boot as suggested by oldfred. :)
You have to fully power down, remove power cord, hold power switch to drain any remaining power & then press correct key to get into...
Are you booting in UEFI boot mode?
Can you boot ubuntu entry in UEFI one time boot menu.
You have a BIOS grub boot entry in MBR which will never work.
Boot-Repair also does not do partition...

The partuuid is the unique guid.
There also are partition type guids....
I have been using zsync to update Kubuntu 24.04 and have the same issue.
Often very slow, sometimes resets after a bit & is a bit faster.
While I can do the workaround to get Kubuntu Calamares...
We have seen more & more locked NVRAM issues. And not one easy solution.
were you running from UEFI boot?
Do you have latest UEFI firmware from vendor?
You may need to manually mount...
Yes, but also check complete reinstall of grub.
And before any major change, make sure your backup is current.
Changing to OtherOS should not have made any difference unless you totally reinstalled system.
Boot-Repair has advanced options where you can choose what to do....
Probably not a gpt vs MBR issue. You may not have had the bios_grub partition for grub to correctly install in BIOS boot mode.
BIOS only knows to jump to MBR to boot. And gpt has a protective MBR...
Since UEFI, you should be able to go into UEFI settings (not UEFI one time boot menu) and change boot order so Windows is first.
Or from Ubuntu you can use efibootmgr, unless an HP system as those...
Posted work around to manually unmount & mount correct ESP during install #55 or( #23 & #26)

But this is probably easier for most:...
You only have the live installer.

And with a small MMC drive, you really do not have room for Both Windows & Ubuntu on it.
If you...
If it worked before & you installed in UEFI mode with Secure Boot on, it should be correct.
UEFI entries look normal.
The change to "Other OS" was probably the issue.
BIOS boot only works with...
You show UEFI Secure boot on.
But have some old BIOS boot loaders in MBRs.
Windows in nvme0n1 and sdc, grub in sda. Those will never work and really never should have been installed there.
As long...
That old of a system probably will not run Ubuntu.
I have an old 64 bit XP era laptop with 1.5GB of RAM, and it would not work with Ubuntu.
I was able to install server version, and add a...
