Can't install Ubuntu 18.10 on XPS 15 - EFIBOOTmmx64.efi not found
I tried to install Ubuntu 18.10 on my XPS 15 9570 earlier. Everything was working fine until I got to the partition selection part of the installation. That's when the installer crashed and I had to shut down my machine. I think it's because I had my SATA configuration set to RAID ON instead of AHCI, which is now fixed.
Now when I try to run the installer from my bootable USB I get the following error
Failed to open EFIBOOTmmx64.efi - Not Found
Failed to load image EFIBOOTmmx64.efi: Not Found
Failed to start MokManager: Not Fond
Something has gone seriously wrong: import_mok_state() failed
Hoping someone might have some idea as to what is going on

Hello, I hope it is the same, I had problems (askubuntu.com/questions/1066599/…) with the EFI and only solve creating a partition, before the BOOT partition. Check this question to see if it helps: askubuntu.com/questions/789998/…

You should not need nor want key manager, Ubuntu uses the Windows key that is installed. Have you turned UEFI Secure Boot off? Many Dell also need UEFI update. askubuntu.com/questions/1042414/…

My new clean install of 18.10 put mmx64.efi into both /EFI/Boot and /EFI/ubuntu. I had not seen that before.

I went into the folder EFI BOOT and renamed the file grubx64.efi to mmx64.efi
Reboot the machine and it should work.
Hope that helps.

well, that's basically what the accepted answer suggested. But copying the file rather than just mv'ing it is almost certainly a better idea... If you want to thank another answer, you can just upvote it (this is recorded even if you don't have enough reputation to impact the score). If you want to improve it, you can suggest an edit.
