Response direct from ZorinGroup on this Issue;
Hi Aravisian, thanks for letting us know about this issue.
We've also received reports of the same EFI issue in our email inboxes, which seems to mainly affect Dell computers. We've been investigating it for the past while and have just found that it's probably an issue with the upstream shim package, which you can learn more about here:
The Ubuntu developers have supplied a fix for it a couple of hours ago and we're currently testing it to make sure it doesn't have any regressions. When that's ready, we'll create new .iso files for Zorin OS 16 Core and Pro which should solve the problem once and for all.
In the meantime, the easiest workaround to install Zorin OS 16 on affected computers is the following:
- Plug in the Zorin OS Installation USB Drive
- Go the computer's BIOS settings screen
- Navigate to the "Boot" or "Security" section and disable the "Secure Boot" option
- Navigate to General > Boot Sequence > Add Boot Option
- Select the "Boot Option Name" and insert "Zorin"
- Click on "..." in "File Name", select the Zorin OS Installation USB Drive and EFI / Boot / grubx64.efi
- Click OK to add the new boot option
- With the arrow up/down you can set this boot option as the first one
- Press the indicated key to save the BIOS settings and restart
- Boot the Zorin OS Installation USB Drive and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation normally
- After installing Zorin OS, you can choose to re-enable Secure Boot from the BIOS settings screen if you wish
If the system can't identify the USB Drive at step 6, you can unplug & re-plug the USB drive to see if it changes inside the "File Name" > "..." menu.
