    Dual boot GRUB issues

    Hello after a long time .... Ah ! memories of learning to fix mistakes... good old days...
    I have been stuck running a elementary for a long time.. blah...

    Long story short... I am installing 2 OS on my laptop, OpenSuse Tumbleweed and Ubuntu 20.04. No Windows !!
    I have installed them both and Ubuntu wrote its grub first and in which part of Disk i don't know !!
    Opensuse wrote second and put the grub file in its own partition.I have to change boot option from BIOS to get default Opensuse to change

    MOK screen comes up, errors show up that point (Google search, these forums) towards UEFI boot related issues...

    I want to re-install the Opensuse due to issues (not only GRUB, Suse has own issues, installation?)

    My question is, to get things corrected , in which part of Disk do I get Suse to write the grub?

    Cheers all... any help is much appreciated.

    If this is required :

    Code:

    In all UEFI systems the bootloaders reside in the ESP (EFI System Partition), your sda1.

    Re: Dual boot GRUB issues

    Both BIOS & UEFI, you normally select a drive like sda on where to install grub.
    With UEFI, it finds & knows to actually put the grub/ubuntu boot files into the ESP - efi system partition, your sda1.

    Does your UEFI boot menu show both Ubuntu and OpenSuse as boot options.
    You can also see those from system with:
    sudo efibootmgr -v

    UEFI remembers old entries, so if name/label in UEFI changes or you have old installs that you removed there may be old entries in UEFI and old folders in ESP.

    Yes oldfred, in UEFI Boot both Ubuntu and Suse can be chosen!
