Re: Grub problems after reinstalling Mint 18.2
In the Security menu there should be an option "Erase all Secure Boot setting:". After doing this redo the "Select an UEFI file as trusted for executing:". Note that I have Secure Boot enabled on the Acer ES1 and this is probably needed in order to perform the above.

I'm sorry i'm answering a whole week later.. was extra busy at work after the holidays..BG405 wrote:In the Security menu there should be an option "Erase all Secure Boot setting:".

Thank you VERY much for the advice. It helped, no more error messages
Yes, superuser password needs to be set and Secure boot enabled. I only have to add that i had to F9 after erasing the settings and then re-enter the bios to set the trusted files (first time i tried to do both things without exiting and got "No bootable device" )
I'd like to mark this as "solved" now; the only thing that confuses me is that the grub menu looks somewhat funny:
(the highlighted line is "advanced options")
I selected grubx64.efi and shimx64.efi as trusted , the 3 other files appeared without me asking. I understand more or less what they are for, but are they really needed there?
One more screenshot:
Is everything ok here?
Just want to make sure i haven't messed it up again (before i do anything important like kernel update or dual boot etc.)

Looks OK to me; I'll check my EFI machine later just to be sure.
