[Bug 1201257] Re: Ubuntu doesn't boot from Windows 8 boot menu

[Şâkir Aşçı]

Sorry, I couldn't attach the files in a single post. When I try to boot
with SecureBoot, the error is "Secure Boot Violation: Invalid signature
detected. Check Secure Boot Policy in Setup" and this is a screenshot of
the error: http://i.imgur.com/e10je91.jpg

If I disable SecureBoot, then I'm able to boot into Ubuntu, but only
from UEFI boot menu. I mean it's possible to via this menu:

After I choose Ubuntu from UEFI device selection menu, I'm able to boot
into Ubuntu (with SecureBoot disabled).

As I didn't want to lose Windows' bootloader, I installed Ubuntu's GRUB
to "/boot" partition and when I opened Windows 8, I added Ubuntu entry
to bootloader of Windows via EasyBCD. So, now I have this in my start
screen of Windows 8: http://i.imgur.com/nmRNTCD.jpg

But when I select Ubuntu, it gives the following error:

PS: I know there are two different problems, and the priority here is to
fix Ubuntu's SecureBoot problem (that's my wish also) but I also wanted
to say the other problem with Ubuntu in Windows' bootloader.

Title:
  Ubuntu doesn't boot from Windows 8 boot menu

Status in “shim” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Here are the information and the exact steps I followed:

  - My laptop is ASUS S56CB with Windows 8 pre-installed.
  - Prepared partitions using Windows' own disk management utility.
  - I prepared a Ubuntu 13.04 (64 bit) ISO to boot with a USB.
  - Disabled Fast Boot. When I tried to install Ubuntu in UEFI mode, Secure Boot didn't allow, then I also disabled Secure Boot.
  - Everything went fine and installation started. I continued in the normal way till the partition point.
  - I created an EFI partition, "swap", "root" and "home" partitions and set the bootloader to be installed on the EFI partition. I don't want to use Ubuntu's GRUB loader, so I didn't install GRUB on dev/sda, but on dev/sda5 as the Ubuntu EFI partition was there.
  - Installation finished, and I opened Windows 8. Using EasyBCD, I created a new boot entry and rebooted to see if it would load Ubuntu.
  - When I choose Ubuntu entry, I get this error:

  File :\NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr
  Status: 0xc000007b

  If I try starting Ubuntu from UEFI (by pressing Esc while the computer
  boots), I'm able to boot into Ubuntu. However, as I stated it doesn't
  work in Windows 8's boot menu.

  The problem related to Windows 8's boot menu not starting is another
  issue, but the real problem is that Ubuntu cannot be installed in this
  computer without disabling Secure Boot.
