[Bug 1437797] Re: I can't boot ubuntu after installing it dual-boot from kubuntu 14.10 CD prallel to windows 8.1, UEFI secure boot, on an Acer Aspire E15.

Dear William,

sorry for the long silence, but I didn't want mess with my  daughter's
Laptop.

I tried your suggestion:

 1) Hit F2 on boot to enter setup and switch to the Security tab.
  2) Set a supervisor password.
  3) Choose "Select an UEFI file as trusted for executing" and select HDD0\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi.
  4) You can choose between Windows and Ubuntu at the F12 menu, and choose a default in setup.

and it works fine.

Thanks a lot for your help,
all the best, merry  christmas and a happy new year,
Peter

P.S.

Note that I wanted to update to 15.04 today, but the kernel didn't boot, although it started to do so.
After applying the steps 1) to 4) I could immeadiatly boot into 15.04. I'm now switching to 15.10.

Title:
  I can't boot ubuntu after installing it dual-boot from kubuntu 14.10
  CD prallel to windows 8.1, UEFI secure boot, on an Acer Aspire E15.

Status in efibootmgr package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  However I can boot into the newly installed Kubuntu 14.10 folling the
  followinf procedure:

  -> starting with installation cd
  -> swiching into boot grub boot promp
  -> typing exit.

  --> then i can select booting from the hard-disk.

  Booting without live CD directly boots Windows, pressing F12
  gives me a lelection where i can only select Windows.

  Any help?

  Best regards,
  Peter
