[Bug 1255368] [NEW] EFI BootOrder not written correctly after installation

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

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.
