[Bug 1255368] Re: EFI BootOrder not written correctly after installation

[John Kim]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop ISO of the
development release - Trusty Tahr. It would help us greatly if you could
test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of
Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your
help.

Title:
  EFI BootOrder not written correctly after installation

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I recently installed Ubuntu 13.10 on a new MacBook Pro (Late 2013,
  13-inch Haswell retina).  After installation, I could not boot to
  Ubuntu.  It turns out that the installation correctly added an EFI
  boot entry, Boot0000, for ubuntu, but did not update the EFI
  BootOrder.  The BootOrder was set to be 0080, a boot entry for MacOS.
  The correct BootOrder should be 0000,0080.  I used the command 'sudo
  efibootmgr -o 0,80' to fix it.  The installation should have set the
  boot order information.  I observed the same problem on a second
  laptop.

  Other information that might be helpful: 1) My installation media was
  a USB drive created using the standard iso image, not the MAC iso.
  The latest Apple hardware can boot the UEFI/BIOS hybrid image. 2) If a
  user never booted to MacOS before installing Ubuntu, the EFI would not
  have any boot entries and the BootOrder would be empty.  But if a user
  had booted to MacOS, the EFI would have two identical boot entries
  Boot0080 and BootFFFF and the BootOrder would be 0080.

  Another issue is that the grub entries Ubuntu created for MacOS can
  not boot to MacOS.  I "solved" this by creating a grub entry to have a
  single command "exit".  This way, the system would exit grub, and EFI
  would boot the second in line according to BootOrder.
