silly Debian

I've obviously ruffled your feathers here but please go back and read what I actually posted

I read what you posted before you deleted it. There's no secrecy on the internet.

The edited text constitutes my "official" position.

Re: Acer Travelmate x349 + nvme + grub

^ 

Anyway, the issue does appear to have been fixed in Debian Stretch onwards. See the changelog (snippet)

grub2 (2.02~beta2-27) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre ]
  * debian/patches/uefi_firmware_setup.patch: Take into account that the
    UEFI variable OsIndicationsSupported is a bit field, and as such should
    be compared as hex values in 30_uefi-firmware.in. (LP: #1456911)

It references the same LaunchPad bug that HoaS posted earlier, but applies a different patch:
%x → 0x%x
instead of
%x → %d

The easiest solution is to install BunsenLabs Helium IMO, since the newer kernel will likely bring other improvements.

Re: Acer Travelmate x349 + nvme + grub

@Bury, I wonder if you could post the result of cat /etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware
(If you're installing BunsenLabs Deuterium then the newer Helium alpha iso might possibly work.)

Yes, I installing BunsenLabs Deuterium and patiently waiting for Helium
Sure, no problem

Re: Acer Travelmate x349 + nvme + grub

We don't need that fwsetup entry at all so just use this for now:

sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware

^ That will disable the file and allow `update-grub` to work.

EDIT: am I the only one who thinks there should be more curly brackets (to protect the quoting) in that GRUB script?
