I just got Ubuntu 14.04 to dual-boot with Windows 8.1 (it was quite the process). Anyway, I wanted to use burg instead of grub2 as the boot loader, but that wouldn't work with UEFI, so I am trying to get rEFInd set up now instead. It currently will boot with all the additional linux options (i.e. grubx64.efi, vmlinuz...). The solution I was trying to follow didn't affect anything at all, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.
Solution: Edit the file "refind.conf" and add "grubx64.efi" to the end of the line "dont_scan_files".
I've tried changing it so it looked like
#dont_scan_files shim.efi,MokManager.efi,grubx64.efi
(shim and mokmanager were already there).
And I've tried simply adding the line #dont_scan_files + grubx86.efi
because the sample thing said to include a + first. But still no change. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I prefer Grub2 over having a cluttered rEFInd.
Edit: Btw https://askubuntu.com/questions/630258/refind-question-remove-multiple-boot-items is the best explanation I've found, but I'm still not understanding how to "add the efi file to 'dont_scan_files'".
