[Bug 1820909] Re: installer crashed after downloading stuff

[Bob McClure, Jr.]

Hi Brian,

I'm a little ahead of you.  I got 18.04.2 and installed successfully.
Now I have to figure out how to get Ubuntu as a boot option,
preferably as a default.  This is on an Acer Aspire TC-281 desktop.

* Brian groans * (Right?)

All the search I've done has led to dead ends.  Currently looking at
this:

https://www.lifewire.com/change-the-efi-boot-order-efibootmgr-4028027

It involves booting the live DVD and installing efibootmgr, and using
it to fix things.  Turns out the 18.04.2 distro already has
efibootmgr.  Followed the instructions, rebooted, no options, still
boots !@#$~ Win 10.

Any ideas?
