I just updated the bios in my Acer Swift SF314-57 (2019) from 1.07 to 1.18. The system has an original Win10home installation, a Win10Pro installation, (both of which I am trying to avoid using) and a Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installation (that I am trying to get used to using). I ran the update .exe file on the Win10home, then rebooted with shutdown /r /fw where I adjusted the following options to the way I believe they were before:

  • F12 boot menu = enabled
  • function key behavior = Fn
  • fast boot = disabled
  • secure boot = disabled
  • boot priority = 1. ubuntu 2. windows boot manager

I am presented with the same boot options as before; however, when I try to boot into ubuntu I get stuck at the Mate logo and in ubuntu recovery mode it gives up waiting for the root file system device. When I boot with my Gparted USB stick it does not see the hard drive and same if I boot from my ubuntu installation USB stick. Windows still runs fine.

What could be wrong?

  • Did it also reset trust? Acer has the "trust" issue. You have to turn Secure Boot on & enable "trust" on the Ubuntu entry. Then you can turn Secure Boot back off. If you have set a UEFI password never forget it or reset to blank. – oldfred Apr 30 '23 at 12:56
  • I don't quite understand this comment. TPM is enabled, but I didn't encrypt the disk or anything like that. How does one enable "trust" on the ubuntu entry? – adr Apr 30 '23 at 13:13
