not to worry, 12.04.2 has an avoidance patch for that:

http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Secure-Boot-comes-to-Ubuntu-12-04-2-LTS-1804203.html

"Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS also updates the release's Linux kernel to a version based 
on the 3.5.7.2 upstream kernel and a matching X.org version. This kernel 
release includes the workaround for the UEFI bug that caused a number of 
Samsung laptops to be bricked; this workaround makes it less likely that 
Samsung laptops will be damaged, but an actual fix depends on Samsung updating 
its firmware."
