Modifications are not saved on my ASUS B460 Trident A MS-B926
Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the existing issues
Description
Even if the modifications are apparently saved, on next reboot nothing is modified. I have the same issue using efibootmgr, the solution in this case is adding "-e 3" .i.e forcing the system to pass --edd 3.0 info. Is it possible for you to set a switch in the GUI to pass this option?
Environment
- Application version:
- Operating system:
- EFI/BIOS/Motherboard vendor:
- EFI/BIOS version:
Raw EFI data
I'm using endeavouros but the same with fedora or ubuntu...

Can you share the dump before and after the change (Help -> Dump raw EFI data)? and maybe after the same change is introduced with efibootmgr.
As far as I can tell the --edd switch in efibootmgr just changes how the file path is auto-detected (see below).
Since there is no auto-detection in EFIBootEditor and you have to specify the full file path manually I don't think that's the issue :thinking: (unless you're changing the file path to "invalid" one according to the firmware but I don't think there is a way to test/validate that at runtime so I can't even show an error or warning :disappointed: )
Reference to where --edd is used in efibootmgr:
- reading argument
- using it for path_options
- using the options with efi_generate_file_device_path_from_esp
