[Bug 1489987] Re: Secure Boot failed on Ubuntu 14.04 on Dell E7440

[Steve Langasek]

Ok.  Installing grub-efi-amd64-signed was expected to fix the SecureBoot
bootability, so this was the problem.  The logs provide no explanation
of why this package was missing from your system, however, so there's
nothing more we can do from this side to track that down.  If you can
find some explanation for this in your logs, feel free to reopen the
bug.

  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?
