Reboot into Firmware Interface is default boot option

abrakidabra

This one has come up for me in the last day or so, although I don't reboot often so I suspect the issue has something to do with my last update performed 2020-06-21.

When booting my system the default boot option that's selected is 'Reboot into Firmware Interface', and no matter what I do I can't get it to change.

I have tried deleting and recreating the EFI partition, I've run multiple sudo clr-boot-manager update after booting, I've tried to force the change with sudo clr-boot-manager set-kernel, I've even installed linux-lts (which does show up in the boot menu) but it still has 'Reboot into Firmware Interface' as the default option. clr-boot-manager does seem to be making changes, as I can change the boot timeout with it, it just won't change the default boot option.

Any ideas?

To add some more context, I'm using Solus Budgie on a HP Stream 11 laptop. Both the LTS and the current kernel boot normally but I have to select them manually at the boot menu.

If anyone else finds this and is having the same issue, pressing d while having your preferred boot option selected in the boot loader will set it to default (see man systemd-boot).

abrakidabra I had the same issue after updating yesterday my Solus system. Now thanks to your post, I was able to solve it! Thanks very much!
