    I installed first Lubuntu on one BTRFS partition, then I install Ubuntu desktop latest version on second BTRFS partition.
    But Lubuntu is now hidden, without functional boot loader.

    Exist any solution?

    I tried a lot of solutions but it not helped me:
    --Boot-Repair
    --sudo update-grub
    --efibootmgr
    --rEFInd boot manager

    My settings in my computer and in my SSD are:
    --UEFI mode (not BIOS)
    --GPT GUID Partition Table

    I used manual partitioning:
    --500 MB on vFAT /boot/efi
    --500 MB ext4 /boot/
    --25 GB BTRFS root for Lubuntu
    --25 GB BTRFS root for Ubuntu

    Thank you very much

    I extremely hard work, a lot of days testing multi boot, multi Ubuntu based distros.
    I can you provide you a lot of precious informations.
    Ubuntu based distributions damage or remove data in EFI partition/folder, if I install second OS on the same disk. For example removed rEFInd boot manager from EFI too.
    For example I installed first Lubuntu, then “KDE neon“ distro. KDE neon has in EFI folder name “neon” but Lubuntu data was damaged in EFI folder by KDE neon distro installation.
