Can't boot Ubuntu after update to MacOS Sierra in dual boot with rEFInd

Question

My macbook only boots to Mac after macOS Sierra update. The boot menu is not showing up so that I can use Ubuntu. I use rEFind

I tried to change boot order in EFI/refind/refind.conf, uncommenting default_selection L,1

Unfortunately nothing changed.

The problem was that when I updated to macOS Sierra the rEFInd boot loader configuration was reset. After reinstallation of rEFInd the problem was solved.

Technically it was not rEFInd's configuration that was reset; it was the EFI's boot order that was reset. Re-installing rEFInd was overkill, but fixed the problem. See [the "Keeping rEFInd Booting" page of the rEFInd documentation](http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/bootcoup.html) for more on this subject. – Rod Smith Dec 14 '16 at 14:32
