The Ubuntu and Fedora ESPs are different. Ubuntu's is sda1 and Fedora's is sda8.
Are you looking for the Ubuntu ESP while booted into Fedora or Ubuntu?
I remember an old thread/bug where someone complained that Anaconda didn't re-use an already existing ESP... --
my issue was, I installed ubuntu last & it took over the grub.cfg. It had entries for fedora. then I booted into fedora, installed a newer kernel & grub didn't have an entry for that kernel, because grub was from ubuntu, so it didn't get updated. My issue was how to get the newer fedora entries into grub. I see there are 2 ways ( that I know of) to accomplish this.
1. boot into ubuntu & update-grub 2.in fedora run efibootmgr -v to see what the current entries & defaults are, the issue efibootmgr-o xxxx, yyyy where xxxx= my current fedora entry & yyyy=ubuntu. when I reboot, the fedora grub will be utilized.
then if I update ubuntu I have to either do the efibootmgr -o to change to ubuntu OR from fedora run grub-2mkconfig.. with 2 ESPs it is a manual process to keep grub updated for 2 OSes..
