    Executing 'grub-install dummy' failed.

    I try to dual boot Windows 10 and Kali.
    At the point where i need to install GRUB bootloader I get following error:
    "Unable to install GRUB in dummy
    Executing 'grub-install dummy' failed.
    This is a fatal error."

    I tried this: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDe...CIe_SSD/jessie
    At the point where I need to do this: "grub-install --target=x86_64-efi /dev/nvme0n1"
    I get the error: "grub-install: error: cannot open '/boot/efi/EFI/kali/grubx64.efi' : read-only file system."

    To my System:
    - Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460
    - 8 GB RAM
    - Intel Core i7-6500U
    - 256 GB Solid-State-Laufwerk, SATA3

    Kali:
    Kali 64 Bit Version: 2016.2
    Win32 to create USB

    Booted in UEFI only, Secure Boot Disabled

    Do you have any idea what I could do?
    I hope this is enough information.

    You can skip installation of grub. After your installation is complete boot into kali-live and run these commands:

    sudo mount /dev/sda* /mnt
    sudo mkdir mnt/dev
    sudo mkdir mnt/proc
    sudo mkdir -p /mnt/sys/firmware/efi/efivars
    sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
    sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
    sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
    sudo mount --bind /sys/firmware/efi/efivars /mnt/sys/firmware/efi/efivars
    sudo mkdir -p /mnt/boot/efi
    sudo mount /dev/sda+ /mnt/boot/efi
    sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda+ /mnt/boot/efi
    sudo mkdir /mnt/hostrun
    sudo mount --bind /run /mnt/hostrun
    sudo chroot /mnt
    sudo mkdir /run/lvm
    mount --bind /hostrun/lvm /run/lvm
    sudo grub-install /dev/sda
    sudo update-grub
    exit
    sudo umount /mnt/dev
    sudo umount /mnt/proc
    sudo umount /mnt/sys/firmware/efi/efivars
    sudo umount /mnt/sys
    sudo umount /mnt/boot/efi
    sudo umount /mnt/hostrun
    sudo umount /mnt/run/lvm
    sudo umount /mnt
    REBOOT


    /dev/sda* is your linux filesystem. Like mine is /dev/sda6
    /dev/sda+ is your EFI partition which is most likely /dev/sda1.
    Use fdisk -l to list all partitions.
    /dev/sda in grub-install /dev/sda is the name of your storage device, not the name of partition. Use fdisk -l to see the name of your stoage device.

    Thanks for your reply... I did what you wrote... I got no error, bit still I can only boot into windows.
    For * I took sda5 which is my Linux file-system. Do I need to take sda6 which is Linux swap?

    It'll obviously boot into Windows because UEFI boots that OS first whose boot loader is given 1st priority. You have to press F9 or F10 or F8 or F12 or F8 or Esc to open boot menu options. There you will find the option to boot either Windows or kali-linux. Which key is used to open boot menu options depends on your manufacturer. It's similar to opening UEFI settings where you can also change boot priority.

    Are you sure there were no errors reported while running those commands?

    Linux swap would be a wrong choice. What did you chose for **?

    Yes I know... But the only option which is bootable is Windows.

    For ** i choosed sda1 which is my efi partition.

    I added one more command into the list. See my edit and repeat the process. Report if you face lvmetad error after the update-grub command.

    Now i even get an error. grub-install: error: cannot open `/boot/efi/EFI/kali/grubx64.efi': Input/output error.

    I got it to boot once, then i updated kali and grub was gone again after I booted Windows once.

    To troubleshoot this error i already added this sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda+ /mnt/boot/efi command, i don't know why it's not working.

    Now to trouble shoot this error i added few more lines. I edited it. See my edit and run the process again.

    Are you telling that now you can boot kali from boot menu options?

    Yes, I can choose​ Kali which starts Grub bootloader where I can start Kali. Ich can't choose windows in Grub bootloader, (don't​ know if this is right) only in boot menu. But this is fine.

    When you login to kali. Run sudo update-grub command in the terminal. It will add windows boot loader in the grub boot menu.

    I got the executing grub install dummy failed as well, but I don't have another OS on my laptop. It's an HP Pavillion which stopped booting; system recovery didn't work. I wiped it, and installed Kali. How can I get it to boot up? Booting gets me to a grub prompt with a list of possible commands.

    This error comes when grub is already present in the EFI system partition so installer can't rewrite grub with the same name hence it is called install dummy failed. Skip this step from the installation and proceed to finish the installation of kali.

    Then follow the instructions given here https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...ith-Windows-10

    Hello, I followed every command as you said but everything happens until grub-install command. It gives following errors:
    EFI variables are not supported on this system.
    grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: No such file or directory.

    Your efivars kernel module is not loaded.

    Run this command to test it:
    #efivar-tester

    UEFI variables are not supported on this machine.

    #modprobe efivars

    Test again:
    #efivar-tester

    This will no longer report an error, and now you can install grub the same way you were doing before.

    yes, it does.

    Hi -- I seem to have this exact problem, but when I go to implement the solution above, the first line fails. The message I get is "mount: /mnt: unknown filesystem type 'linux raid member'" This is more than a bit vexing since when I noticed the installation wanted to build a software raid, I tried to turn that option off, but couldn't manage it. So I went ahead and just accepted the defaults, and it definitely claimed to be building a software raid.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    I followed _defalt's steps to install grub however when I execute the command
    grub-install /dev/sda
    , I get the following error:
    EFI variables are not supported on this system.
    grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: No such file or directory.
    I have checked my BIOS settings and both secure boot and legacy support are disabled.

    @ _default,

    So I ran into something very similar to this issue with dual booting win10. I think I know where my issue kinda is. My system is below.

    Toshiba Terca c50
    Win10 on 1st hard drive
    Kali on 2nd hard drive mount is /dev/sdc efi partition is /dev/sdc1
    other specs
    CPU core i5
    RAM 8 gigs

    When I ran the installer I didn't pick the 3 option with all the different mount points I chose the 2nd option with just the ..../home. When I ran the command mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev I get the error mount: mount point doesn't exist. Should I run re run the installer or is there a fix for this also? Sorry if that doesn't make any sense. Please let me know if you need more info on my system or steps I took.

    What is the partition name of your kali filesystem? You mounted the wrong partition in the first command.

    This error only occurs if UEFI is disabled and Legacy BIOS is enabled. Make sure this is not the case.

    Use rufus to create a bootable USB and 2018.1 image is out. If there was a bug with the earlier image it would have been fixed in this recent image.

    Interesting it is not happening with me.

    I verified that UEFI Boot is enabled and Legacy Boot is disabled:
    20180215_143304.jpg

    I had installed the image 2017.3 so as you advised I downloaded the 2018.1 image and made a bootable usb using Rufus. However, during the install I got the following error:
    20180215_143428.jpg

    Kali Linux does not seem to like me

    I managed to overcome the error I mentioned above. However, grub dummy still fails to execute even with the new image. Maybe I am missing something regarding boot settings - I have posted a picture of those settings above.

    Thank you for all your help

    No your boot settings are perfectly fine. I will look into the issue.

    grub-dummy error during the OS installation happens when grub bootloader is already present in the EFI partition so installer can't overwrite it.

    You can delete the old grub by mounting the EFI partition and delete the grubx64.efi in /mnt/EFI/kali. It's a critical solution. One mistake can prevent windows to boot.

    Boot into kali-live and mount EFI partition as:
    mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
    nautilus /mnt/EFI/kali


    Use fdisk -l to list which one is your EFI partition. It may not be /dev/sda1

    I'm not attempting a dual boot. This machine did have win 10 installed and I'm trying to replace it completely with kali.

    I booted into kali live and mounted the efi partition then deleted grubx64.efi.

    I then tried to run modprobe efivarfs and I got the same error "modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'efivarfs': No such device".

    Tried to run modprobe efivars and I got the same error "modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'efivars': No such device".

    @emmodunne Now you have deleted that file, you can re-install kali.

    mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
    mount /dev/sda+ /mnt/boot/efi
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda+ /mnt/boot/efi
    mkdir /mnt/hostrun
    mount --bind /run /mnt/hostrun
    chroot /mnt
    mkdir /run/lvm
    mount --bind /hostrun/lvm /run/lvm
    grub-install /dev/sda
    update-grub
    exit
    umount /mnt/dev
    umount /mnt/proc
    umount /mnt/sys
    umount /mnt/boot/efi
    umount /mnt/hostrun
    umount /mnt/run/lvm
    umount /mnt


    Replace * in sudo mount /dev/sda* /mnt with your linux filesystem name. Like mine is /dev/sda6
    Replace + in sudo mount /dev/sda+ /mnt/boot/efi with your EFI partition name. Mine is /dev/sda1
    Use fdisk -l to list all partitions.
    When I do "grub-install /dev/sda" it's gives me the error "grub-install: command not found"

    Once you mount your kali filesystem as mount /dev/sda* /mnt then show the output of
    ls /mnt/usr/sbin | grep grub

    I am though. I'm scared if I follow with the instructions you used, I might not be able to boot into windows anymore.
    I have been experiencing the same problems as you have up to this point.

    Does anyone have any insight as to what i can do next?

    I had the exact issue just a few weeks ago. It turns out my ISO was intended for a 32bit Virtual Machine. Please ensure that your ISO is compatible with your hardware. What ISO and hardware are you using? (Sorry if I missed it in a previous reply) Hope this works!
