Hi all, I own an Samsung Series 5 Ultra NP540U3C with Windows 8. I updated the bios to P12ABH and want to install Kubuntu 14.04. I understand that the bug seems fixed with kernels >3.10 and this bios but I am not sure about the procedure as people explained different setups. If I want to keep windows, should I select CSM or UEFI in the bios? Secure and Fast Boot? Do I have to do anything with /boot/efi? Can I install / on the SSD alongside windows and install /home on the HDD?
Sorry if my questions are a bit trivial but I have been lost in the plethora of feedbacks. My laptop is still on warranty for a couple more weeks.

If you have courage to try it select UEFI boot from bios and than try to boot laptop using liveusb (made form Precise Pangolin 12.04.1 amd64). Laptop hangs up in black screen. If you force power-off, after it, laptop wont start. I mean it not event start bios, just black screen no sounds nothing. I filing this report, because i already bricked second laptop. At first i thought it was unrelated issue and laptop was fixed by warranty service (replaced motherboard), but after second time i quite sure.
