ok, so the term.log.3.gz shows the upgrade from May 18, and it appears
that at that time you *did* have grub-efi-amd64-signed installed and
probably also shim-signed.

The timestamp on the grubx64.efi is from July 2, which is when you say
the problem started.  But your apt log for this time period does not
show any package changes at that time.

Please also attach /var/log/apt/term.log.2.gz for completeness.

Title:
  Secure Boot failed on Ubuntu 14.04 on Dell E7440

Status in shim package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  (I'm following instructions from
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI to report this here)

  On 2/07/2015 my Ubuntu 14.04 refused to boot because of the Secure
  Boot check failure. These are apt logs from the period before the
  failure:

  'efibootmgr -v' does not output anything.

  
  So I didn't even upgrade anything on that day (although I'm not sure when I rebooted). I'm on Dell E7440, Ubuntu is the only OS installed. When I switched off Secure Boot in bios, it booted fine. Is this an indication that my OS was tampered with? If not, might this be a bug?
