Hello everybody, I have had trouble getting Ubuntu to run on my computer.

I did boot repair using the recommended tab the result is here
http://paste.ubuntu.com/26261449/

After a successful boot repair, I was told not to forget to make my BIOS boot on mmcblkOp1/ubuntu/shimx64.efi file. How can I got about it?

I know that Ubuntu is installed on mmcblkOp1.

Currently, I have no windows operating system and assumed naturally ubuntu would run smoothly.


======this is where i set the boot to ubuntu============
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo efibootmgr -o 0004,0005,0001,2001,2002,2003
BootCurrent: 0001
Timeout: 0 seconds
BootOrder: 0004,0005,0001,2001,2002,2003
Boot0000* Unknown Device:
Boot0001* USB HDD: KingstonDataTraveler 2.0
Boot0002* Unknown Device:
Boot0003* Unknown Device:
Boot0004* ubuntu
Boot0005* Linux
Boot2001* EFI USB Device
Boot2002* EFI DVD/CDROM
Boot2003* EFI Network
================================================== =======
with that i restart the computer still no luck.
I used the USB boot medium and restart the computer before it goes to the boot medium i took a snapshot of what it said
"Fail to open \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi - Not Found
Failed to load Image \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi: Not found
Failed to start Mock Manager: Not found."
if I go back to terminals immediately after restarting to check the boot order, changes to " BootOrder: 2001, 2002, 2003".

Now I thought to set the boot to a specific drive partition where Ubuntu was installed which is mmcblkOp1.
using: sudo fdisk -l ///I checked to confirm the all disk
then used this to set it: sudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 ///I entered m but never saw the "a" option.
///I entered p but just displayed that section on the drive
///Moreover there is no boot column for mmcblk0 unlike my USB boot drive /dev/sda
for mmcblk0=====================================
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/mmcblk0p1 2048 1050623 1048576 512M EFI System
/dev/mmcblk0p2 1050624 57061375 56010752 26.7G Linux filesystem
/dev/mmcblk0p3 57061376 61077503 4016128 1.9G Linux swap
==============================End of mmcblk0========

For sda ==============================================
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 * 2048 60978815 60976768 29.1G c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
=============================End of sda==================



I don't know what am doing wrong, I need help.

If an Acer you need to set "trust" on the Ubuntu UEFI .efi boot files.

Acer Trust Settings - details, some now report that then secure boot has to be on to set trust:
