You sir are a life saver! I tried many other tutorials unsuccessfully till I found yours. Problem was I could not get Ubuntu to dual install with my Windows installation...it kept booting into Windows with no GRUB option. Your detailed manual installation with the partitions solved the issue on the first try! Thank you! Now I can try Linux for the first time. So excited!

[@SavvyNik]

Glad to hear it! Good luck with your Linux journey

Please tell me how many hours it takes with you ?

[@Matheus_Mt17]

Thank you very much brother. I'm from Brazil, and for now there is no tutorial that worked here, only one that did. Thank you.

[@augustonks]

né, fiquei o dia inteiro de hoje tentando instalar o ubuntu, pena que só achei esse vídeo quando ja tava quase no processo de instalação agora de noite

[@macedonskyua]

Sometimes, after big Windows updates it can rewrite your grub by second windows bootloader, even if you have linux and windows on separated hard disks. To prevent such behavioar, enough just set some password on your bios/uefi and this will protect your bootloaders.

[@htutlwinkhant9918]

It worked!🎉 Of coure there are some errors here and there cuz diff devices and I am glad that explanations are this detailed.

[@3d-illusions]

Just wondering, why did you create the partitions in windows? The installer allows you to do that automatically. Also I think it would be easier to just go into the boot menu and choose the usb disk rather than going into bios to change the boot order. Just pointing this out to help simplify it for others.

[@SavvyNik]

Some Notes: - Disable bitlocker - Disable SecureBoot in BIOS - Disable CSM in BIOS if you can't disable SecureBoot - Disable Fastboot in BIOS - Always backup your data before starting - Confirm you're using a UEFI based BIOS

[@agentx4208]

What happens if you dont disable those features?

mine froze while at 16:31 i let it sit a while and ended up closing it but upon restart it showed the screen at 16:53 n it appears to still have worked but instead of booting into ubuntu it boots windows any help? i dont have the uefi settings in the grub menu

[@Corn_DOG]

14:15 so all options on my "Device for boot loader installation" are grayed out and I can not progress forward. the ONLY think I could think that I did differently than the tutorial was that I wanted to install Ubuntu on a different HD than windows... could that be what is tripping me up?

[@nathanpw12]

I had the same problem, I solved it by doing this: Some Notes: (by Channel owner) - Disable bitlocker - Disable Secure Boot in BIOS Disable CSM in BIOS if you can't disable Secure Boot Disable Fastboot in BIOS - Always backup your data before starting Confirm you're using a UEFI based BIOS

What i dont get: since years there is a perfect graphical efi boot manager called rEFInd. Finds the installed OSes automatically. Boots linux, win, macos, bsd. Boots linux directly from root fs (ext4, btrfs) when kernel supports the efi stub mechanism. Offers usb boot and firmware entry. Awesome graphical interface, adjustable, customizable. Why is this not built in into any mainboard firmware? It never failed me, warmly recommended.

[@AlexandruVoda]

Agreed. I do not understand the lack of love rEFInd and Clover get, especially from distros. Why is there no distro that offers to install rEFInd at least as an option instead of GRUB ?

[@sheldonkupa9120]

@@AlexandruVoda Exactly, i forgot clover. Apt install refind isnt that hard, but you are right. Rod Smith is an unappreciated genius. I mention refind on any channel about linux, just as it made my life so easy.

Hi there. I have a problem not being able to boot from the pendrive. The text that appears on my laptop screen when I try to dual boot from windows 10 trying to install Ubuntu 24.04 from a bootable pendrive with windows 10 says: could not create MokListRT: Volume full. Same thing for a line named: MokListXRT. And another: SbatLevelRT. One more: MokListTrustedRT. and the last line says: Something has gone seriously wrong: import_mok_state( ) failed: Volume full. I can't find any solution to this problem on the internet, in forums, on youtube, etc. I have done everything that is out there with people guiding me and asking me to do this and that and nothing works. Some people from Ubuntu´s forum say it is related to the secure boot KEY´S list within bios boot setup. I also have the secure boot section disabled. Some people suggest that I delete those keys or reset them to system default but IS IT SAFE to do that? I need help from you guys. Can you show me what to do? Thanks. Much appreciated with any information you can provide me. Best regards, Alex. Congrats on your channel.

[@arunkhan4951]

It's nice to see using VirtualBox to showcase how to install dual-boot Ubuntu alongside existing Windows 10/11.👍 While this solution works, I want to install Ubuntu dual boot w/o booting into the Windows desktop to shrink the C: drive. Can live boot Ubuntu and the GParted partition manager shrink the Windows C: drive? That way, the installation can be completed in one go, i.e., booting from the Ubuntu USB drive without messing around with Windows.

[@mingogadea]

For me it doesn't work. Manual partition don't react when I try to use the free space and the option of intall alongside Windows boot gives me an unknown error at the end of the intallation software. The only one that apparently works it's erase everything, I get to the final window without any error, but I don't wanna lose my Windows. I don't know what else to try...

[@rajuk.j240]

Its decent video. Thanks Mate

Windows might rewrite the efi partition, therefore i preferred saparate partition for it, but it doesn't seems possible with current version of Ubuntu during installation so i shifted the efi partition after installation, let me know if there is a better way

Hi there, I’m having a little problem: In the chapter „costumizing setup“, you’re explaining how to install Ubuntu on a different partitions. So far so good, but the Ubuntu is not finding my „windows bootloader“ and it wants to install the bootloader on the same harddrive where I’m installing Ubuntu on. But as I understand your explanation, I have to install the bootloader ( grub ) into the windows bootloader portion. So maybe you know what’s going wrong with my installation…? Greetings

[@AlexandruVoda]

@SavvyNik, can you make a more advanced video about installing various distros without disabling secure boot? For Ubuntu and openSuse for example this is easy but other distros require extra steps if one does not want to disable secure boot. Also to my understanding, kernel modules (for example for ZFS) also require manual signing when using secure boot. I found it hard to even find an up to date list of the status of secure boot support of distros. I also find shim and MOKs somewhat confusing, therefore I am currently using openSuse Tumbleweed on my secure boot enabled machines (and Arch/Garuda Lite on older machines without secure boot).

[@SavvyNik]

Honestly it’s the same process but in reverse. You want to have Ubuntu installed first before you put windows in. Then reconfigure the bootloader so it detects Windows

I have a more complex situation that doesn't allow me to just follow this guide sadly. I have an ssd with Windows on it, which I want to be my main OS and the only OS on said ssd. Then I have another hdd on which I've installed ubuntu, which works just fine. But I can't get grub (running on the same disk as the ubuntu OS, so the hdd) to actually detect my windows partition on the ssd, in order to allow me to choose between one of them. So as of right now the only way I have to choose the OS when booting is through the BIOS changing the order in which drives are scouted for OSs. Which is super lame. But I have no choice, or at least I have no idea how to fix it nor can I find anyone to actually explain how to set up grub to correctly detect windows.

Wasn't the UEFI Boot manager a solution to end all boot managers? OS just adds itself to the UEFI BM and it is done. I always thought it would make LILO/GRUB/MS BCD obsolete. Confusing. 😕

[@sheldonkupa9120]

Boot loader and boot manager are not the same, but some can be both, you still need a bootloader like grub or win mgr or systemd boot for the OS. Thats what the bootmanagers handle. If the kernel supports it, it is directly bootable, but built in uefi bootmanagers dont support efi stub, as far as i know. Also here you need a separate bootloader which is accordingly offered by any distribution. rEFInd is a good solution for all situations imho.

[@Parth.HeadinSky]

​@@sheldonkupa9120 that's the reason i created my own customised grub loader with animations on a separate efi and ntfs division (so it be like an OS but mainly a grub, just for animations). It appears soo cool while booting, then offering to switch between parrot, kali, win, ubuntu, garuda
