[Bug 1277865] Re: Cannot install Ubuntu 14.04 on EFI hardware

Thu Feb 27 23:01:44 UTC 2014

On my asus m5a97r2 motherboard I can only switch between "Windows UEFI
mode" and "Other OS", and have the second one selected. On the same screen
I can see that "Secure boot state" is enabled, whatever that mean.
Also Launch CMS (Compatibity Support Module) is set to 'Auto'.
Can't find any other settings with UEFI or non-UEFI mode.
Regards
