[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.

<snip>

$ sudo efibootmgr
BootCurrent: 0001
Timeout: 2 seconds
BootOrder: 0004,2002,0000,2001
Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager
Boot0001* Unknown Device:
Boot0002* ATAPI CDROM: MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ8HC
Boot0003* Unknown Device:
 Boot0004* ubuntu
<snip>

This shows that 'ubuntu' is marked in the firmware as the default boot
option according to the EFI standard, but is not what was booted
(instead, the booted device is option 1, "unknown device").

You're saying that with this configuration, your system boots to the
Windows boot manager, and *not* to Ubuntu?  If so, that sounds like a
firmware bug.

Please also attach the output of 'sudo efibootmgr -v'.  (Sorry, I should
have asked for verbose output the first time.)

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 shim 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
