- EFI boot accident. The laptop switched off after moving from aula Galilei to office and restart would give "Did not find primary boot..." or similar. Suspected SSD failure, but booting a live UDB key the partitions of /dev/nvme0n1 (p1-p5) were mountable. p3 is ubuntu 18.04 and p5 is 20.04. Started BIOS and discovered that advanced booting had switched to Non EFI. Selected EFI again.
