Batocera V39 update will not run rEFInd by default.

[nnierrr]

Good Day,

After I update to betocera v39, the steam deck is now booting the batocera by default. Before the update it was fine.

I already tried to "create and install config" in rEFInd UI it will work temporary. When I tried to select batocera and restart the steam deck, it will boot to batocera by default again.

Hopefully, someone can check this.

Thank you

I am assuming that when Batocera ran, it created its own EFI entry that is enabled by default. Can you show the me the output of efibootmgr from SteamOS?

I can confirm this. If you boot batocera then go shutdown, it sets itself as next boot (not refind).
However I have found, if you boot batocera, then choose restart, it does not alter. When it restarts it loads refind.
If you manually select steam through bios, it boots and bootnext is set to refind again.

After batocera restart, boot manager looks like this;

Hello i have the same problem, Are there any fixes for this ? and how is it with the batocera v40 nightly ? i think the same or ?

[jlobue10]

I am not sure why or how Batocera is setting the BootNext flag. I will have to debug when I find time, unless some helpful person can do that for me. Normally, that is not something the OS cares to set. We are only setting that BootNext entry on the SteamOS side (with a service call) for rEFInd to get around the efibootmgr command not working to disable the Windows EFI entry from SteamOS.

Hello maybe it is something with the refind config? Try to change the efi bath from batocera do the \EFI\batocera\grubx64.efi
This should bypass the secure boot thing.
Hopefully this is a help.

I have just tried this and on shutdown, it's still automatically booting into Batocera.
