Efi issue Ubuntu 18 after deleting windows and efi partition
Output of http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ Boot Info Script version: 0.61
Release date: 1 April 2012
is at https://pastebin.com/cGWTnEiR
Short version deleted /efi partition. Only want Ubuntu. getting errors on boot but able to boot. Have old NTFS partition that i dont want to format. Anyway to fix? have USB with ubuntu 18 if need be.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/cZdujjV7mVHMzHn56 images of boot error. Can I fix without formatting and reinstalling?
Long version:
Got laptop 3 years back, Installed Ubuntu 16 along side win 10. Messed around a month back, got ubuntu 18 on a new partition.
Wanted to make some space deleted some files.
Moved out home folder to a new partition.
Needed space for some videos on traffic safety ... decided to get rid of Windows as hardly use it now. Alls well. Then went to Gparted to sort free space, Got windows c drive clubbed into UbuHome partition, thumbs up!
Then deleted efi partition. oops 1.
Then for some silly 2am reason "noticed" untried menu in Gparted, created a new partition. Not a nice interface by the way -> did not need to apply like other actions just a warning and done :( oops 2
Tried to use testdisk, it got back my NTFS d drive and ubu home ...but also got a bunch of many other drives. But UbuHome was not loading after i tried ot merge some of hte other false partitions with it.
Anyway now have deleted UbuHome, got a fresh Ubuntu 18, with old NTFS d working as a seperate partiion
But efi not recreaed fully.
Tried installing grub again -> no errors but no cigar. Followed https://askubuntu.com/a/831241/165511 (not exact answer found similar one when i booted via Usb)
Also tried:
sudo parted -l
