Dual boot bazzite and windows
I want to use rEFind to dual boot and have a screen to select which OS to boot into.
I'm not sure if rEFind is best or how to do it?

Ty very much
@Aru I made a mistake I did the step where you change the orientation.... And now the screen is flipped how do I undo it
I did this
sudo rpm-ostree kargs --append-if-missing=video=eDP-1:panel_orientation=left_side_up
use --delete-if-present
tip you can usually add -h or --help to command like
rpm-ostree kargs -h to see available optionThanks! I have another problem 😅 sorry to be a bother I installed rEFind gui which is the wrong one and now I can't remove the folder
how are you removing the folder? you probably need sudo for that
also be careful with efi folder
Yh I tried sudo rm -r /boot/efi/efi/refind
what are the output?
No such file or directory
the second efi is probably capitalized
sudo rm -r /boot/efi/EFI/refind
also before removing anything it is good practice to ls it firstYh tried that too don't work
like
ls /boot/efi/EFI/refind
try ls /boot/efi/EFI
But I can't cd into efi
what is the output of this
dont cd
add sudo btw i forgot
Permission denied
I added sudo
wut
try
sudo stat /boot/efi/EFIOh wait not It was a typo
lol if it messed up it gonna be a bad time
the folder definitely exist
try rm again
maybe use
sudo rm -rf /boot/efi/EFI/refindThat did it ♥️ thank you!
the -f is force, but dont use it too much lol
Um when I tried booting it I windows I got bitlocker recovery which I never set up in the first place
microsoft did that for you, the key should be somewhere in your microsoft account online (dont ask me where to find it, dont know where)
Hi sorry, I've got rEFind but can't get mouse or touch to work. I've edited the config
I've tried with both mouse and touch on no luck
We are talking with some YouTubers doing efi
Ref8nd
Turns out ally has issues with refind touchscreen
Oh I see is there something else that works ? Clover maybe ?
Using the bios works
If there is no other way then sure I'll do that
You can hold the volume button when booting and that fixes the touchscreen I was told
Hmm ok will try that
I'm using this little hack on my Rog Ally, maybe this will work for you (if you don't come right with refind). Note that you can run
efibootmgr to get the #### number for Windows Boot Manager. It was 0000 for me.
Then I just saved this script in my home folder as boot-to-windows.sh (content of the file below)
After that I made the file executable with chmod +x boot-to-windows.sh. So if I ever want to boot into Windows I just double click on boot-to-windows.sh file (and enter my password when requested) and it will boot straight into Windows. If I reboot again, I'm back into Bazzite. I went for this approach as very seldom boot Windows and I couldn't get Refind working properly for me. Hope that helpsThank you! I will try later 😊
@wolfyreload I've added the file but nothing happens when I click it also made it executable
Oh nvm it works I think I have to reboot after haha
Ty how do you get it to not require a password
I figured out how to have it not need a password, normally you'd need a password to run /usr/sbin/efibootmgr so to get around this I created a new file in /etc/sudoers.d/efibootmgr-config
with the content
What this is essentially doing it allowing all users that are in the wheel group (e.g. administrator users) to run efibootmgr without sudo
You can do all this with a one liner if you prefer
ps. Note that you'll need to remove the
sudo reboot in the boot-to-windows.sh scriptSo I create a txt file in sudoers.d what do I name it sorry still learning sh
you can name it whatever you want, it will read all the files in the /etc/sudoers.d/ folder and apply them
Ok awesome one more question the second part where does that go?
do you mean this part? "ps. Note that you'll need to remove the sudo reboot in the boot-to-windows.sh script"
The sudo echo part
if you did the first bit you can ignore the echo part. I just included that if you wanted a one liner
There was no efi folder so I created one is that not the right way I apologize for bothering you haha
I'm not sure what you mean about no efi folder?
I would go into etc here then find sudoers right
That's the txt document that has the command
Doesn't work so I'm assuming it's in the wrong place
be careful when editing the sudoers files
yes that will not work
you need to use the terminal
So I was able to get refind to work ty for all the help everyone!
