Dear Steve,

 > confirm that /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi and

 : sudo ls -l /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1617240 Jun 14  2014 /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi

 >Can you describe exactly how you booted this system to Ubuntu?
Well this is somehow strange I I just founs the way accidently:
(0) Of course I've changed the boot orde in the BIOS to first start from DVD, then HDD, then Window-Boot manager.
    I also disabled Windows fast restart.
   I installed kubuntu from the 14.04 image. Everythign went fine, except, that after the reboot the
  system booted into windows.

In order to boot the installed kubuntu I need the follow steps:

(1) Start the Laptop with the 14.04 installation disk
(2) Once the boot menu appears press 'c' to enter the grub 'shell' or whatever it is called.
(3) type exit 'exit' to leave the grub shell. 
(4) Sometimes I do now get a boot selecetion, a blue top with white font 'Boot Manager' .
  I have a selection black letters on strange grey:
    1. Unknown device (ST...)
    2.  ATAPI CDROM
    3.  Windows Boot Manager (ST..)
(4a) sometime I have to repeat step '3' as I get back to the boot menue of the install dvd,

(5) I select the defualt entry 1. Unknwon Device ..
(6) I get Grub boot menue, not the one from the install dvd, and it boots into the installed kubuntu.
  (Remark:  the time from this boot menue till I see the login manager is astonishingly short)
(7) Everything semms to run fine now.


> Could you try running:
: sudo efibootmgr --bootorder 0001,0004,2002,0000,2001sudo efibootmgr --bootorder 0001,0004,2002,0000,2001
BootCurrent: 0001
Timeout: 2 seconds
BootOrder: 0001,0004,2002,0000,2001
Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager
Boot0001* Unknown Device: 
Boot0002* ATAPI CDROM: MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ8HC
Boot0003* Unknown Device: 
Boot0004* ubuntu
Boot0005* Unknown Device: 
Boot2001* EFI USB Device
Boot2002* EFI DVD/CDROM
Boot2003* EFI Network

--> Same procedure as above. It boots directly into windows. Using the
dvd I can boot the installed linux.


Best regards,
Peter

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:
  Incomplete

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
