The machine is a new Dell Inspiron Model# l15RV-1430BLK. It has 4GB of 
Ram, and a Intel Pentium 2117U processor. It was pre-loaded with Windows 
8, I followed the instructions here:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-
installed-uefi-supported-windows-8-system

Once I got Ubuntu installed I was not able to boot either OS. The UEFI 
firmware has a setting for UEFI boot with secure boot off. So I tried 
that. After that Ubuntu loaded, then I ran boot-repair per the tutorial 
mentioned above. Note: during boot-repair I got this URL: 
http://paste.ubuntu.com/5806683. Once I ran boot repair I could load 
either Windows 8 or Ubuntu, which was my goal. The tutorial did ask that 
I submit a bug related to the secure boot.
Also note the boot menu is Grub 2. I have made a few minor changes to 
the Grub menu, just to clean it up, but other than that I have been 
using both Windows and Ubuntu without any other changes. There are a few 
errors that pop-up during boot, but these just go away and the OS boots. 
If you want to know what they are, I will try to catch them and write it 
down on my next reboot. The text disappears pretty fast, and they are 
not noticeable errors. I think there are different errors for both 
Windows and Ubuntu, but I have not paid close enough attention yet.

It may also be important to note that during my install the Windows OS 
was not detected. I did partition my drive using Windows Disk Manager. 
When I ran the Ubuntu install, I selected "Something Else" and created 
the partitions I needed there. I also installed the boot manager to the 
disk's MBR. But the Live disk menu was definitely different that what I 
am used to, so I assume it detected the UEFI firmware.

Let me know if you need any more information. I do want my computer 
running the optimum configuration, so I would love to hear any tips.

Thanks,

Chad
