Public bug reported:

Computer with preinstalled Windows8. SecureBoot enable by default.

1) User installed Ubuntu13.04 64bit.
After install and reboot, GRUB appears, allows to boot Ubuntu correctly, but the Windows entry fails.

2) Used Boot-Repair's Recommended Repair, which added some Windows entries in /etc/grub.d/25_custom
http://paste.ubuntu.com/5686992
No entry allow to boot Windows

3) Disabled SecureBoot in the UEFI firmware, then ran Boot-Repair's Recommended Repair, which purged grub (and shim and linux-signed) then installed grub-efi.
http://paste.ubuntu.com/5689721
User can now boot Windows from GRUB.
