Well I thought it about time I joined the local group now I live in
Dorset.
I am Ken, Founder of the Hampshire Group back in 1998. Using Linux in 1
form or another since March 1998.
Currently using Ubuntu 12.10. With 12.04 on a netbook and Mint on a
small desktop.
Looking forward to next meeting at The Broadway.
My first problem
I have an Asus K55A running Windows 8. I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit,
but the grub does not run the windows. When I select the windows boot
entry, I get the following error message
error: can't find command 'drivemap'.
error: invalid EFI filepath.
it then defaults back to the main grub menu and I can only boot the
Ubuntu option.
Google has not been my friend this time.
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
Searching led to this
page:http://askubuntu.com/questions/221311/grub-errors-dual-boot-windows-8-ubuntu-12-10
<http://askubuntu.com/questions/221311/grub-errors-dual-boot-windows-8-ubuntu-12-10>
And a possible solution from the arch wiki here:

Hope this can be of some help.
Regards,
Dean
