There's no word on exactly when we can expect a fix, but one is apparently coming. Update: Intel tells us that the NUC team will be addressing the bootloader issue in an upcoming BIOS release. We've passed all of our findings on to Intel's NUC team, and while we haven't received a response as of publication, we hope that this problem can be fixed with a BIOS update. Just check which folder the operating system stores its bootloader files in-it's /mnt/EFI/ubuntu for Ubuntu, /mnt/EFI/steamos for Steam OS, and so on. These instructions apply to Ubuntu specifically, but they worked the same way for SteamOS and Mint, and they should get the job done for any other Debian distribution that behaves the same way. $ sudo mv /mnt/EFI/BOOT/grub圆4.efi /mnt/EFI/BOOT/boot圆4.efi $ sudo cp /mnt/EFI/ubuntu/* /mnt/EFI/BOOT Instead, open a terminal window and type the following: $ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt From our Ubuntu live USB drive, finish the operating system installation but don't reboot. While that is a little more difficult, it has the benefit of being consistent. The second is to move and rename the files manually. The first is to use Ubuntu's boot-repair tool, though it can occasionally be overzealous and inconsistent in its fixes. There are a couple of ways you can try to fix this. The Debian distros will usually try to place a bootloader named grub圆4.efi in a folder named /EFI/, so the NUC wouldn't try to boot from the drive. He suggested that the NUC had problems with custom EFI boot locations-the NUC expects there to be a file named boot圆4.efi located in the /EFI/BOOT folder on the EFI partition, and if that file is named something else and/or located elsewhere, the computer can't recognize the drive as a boot target. The first helpful suggestion I found about the issue came from 's Will Smith on the Steam community forums. The problem was that the NUC wouldn't see the drive as a EFI boot target, and it would refuse to boot from the drive.

InstallationĮach time we would install one of our Debian-based distros (Ubuntu, Mint, or SteamOS), the NUC would boot to the USB drive and install the operating system to the internal mSATA SSD without issue. We tried Ubuntu 13.10, Linux Mint 16, and Fedora 20 because of their popularity, and then we loaded up SteamOS to test out its recently acquired Intel graphics support.

You can use your favorite Linux distribution on a barebones PC without paying the added cost for some Windows license you have no intention of using.Īs a follow-up to our original review, we’ve installed four different Linux distributions to the Haswell NUC to get an idea of what open source enthusiasts can expect to experience when they load up Linux on the hardware. The other side of that coin is that barebones PCs can be good for people who aren’t planning on paying for an OS.

The big PC OEMs get Windows at a steep discount compared to end users, and you’ll have to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 for a full OEM Windows license (and more if you want a retail version with tech support). One of the drawbacks of buying a barebones PC like Intel’s NUC-at least if you’re a Windows user-is that it comes with no operating system.
