The weird thing is that I have no firmware_node directory at all:

This is on a SuperMicro X9DRi-LN4F+ board.

Thankfully rebooting still works because of the fallback EFI!

After the a reboot I have:

sudo efibootmgr -v
BootCurrent: 0004
Timeout: 1 seconds
BootOrder: 0000,0004,0005,0008
Boot0000* ubuntu	HD(1,GPT,ec6bfb51-9755-4b96-853f-3c11ecd3b8c2,0x800,0x100000)/File(\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi)

But after apt-get install -f the entires are wiped:

sudo efibootmgr -v     
BootCurrent: 0004
Timeout: 1 seconds
BootOrder: 0004,0005
