[Bug 1213119] Re: [GIGABYTE GA-A75-UD4H] "You need to load the kernel first" when trying to select any option from grub list when using EFI (ver 2.1) and trying to install Ubuntu.
@Oliver Grawert referring to your comment and this Ask Ubuntu answer http://askubuntu.com/a/40480/102029 confirms the use of amd64+mac iso simply allows the BIOS installer/live session to run on a system set to run EFI mode which ultimately would mean a non booting Ubuntu. It does allow booting live session without the need to access firmware settings but is running in BIOS mode.Again the work around of installing grub-efi would need to be relied on to get Ubuntu booting EFI mode after a BIOS installation. I am still hunting down a solution to "How to install or boot Ubuntu live session EFI mode" The fact the amd64+mac iso exists and has existed for a good while proves this has been a long term problem being side stepped by those in a position to do something about it. The blaming of firmware hardcoding appears to be used as a convenient hood winking technique as i have proven this is not applicable on this hardware at least. It appears the problem is somehow grub related. The wild goose chase continues but due to the fact Windows boots and installs using EFI the question still remains "How to install or boot Ubuntu using EFI mode on an EFI 2.1 machine?" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1213119 Title: [GIGABYTE GA-A75-UD4H] "You need to load the kernel first" when trying to select any option from grub list when using EFI (ver 2.1) and trying to install Ubuntu.

[Bug 1225478] Re: package grub-efi-amd64 2.00-18ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Regardless of the boot time errors after installing 13.10 then after using boot-repair and updating and rebooting then updating again has now given a usable install. It would appear debugging has been taken care of automatically. Still have not worked out how to get grub the boot manager to see and use the vmlinuz.efi files on liveDVD at install time which am sure will prevent the error/bug reported here. What i am trying to achieve is an efi install of Ubuntu. What is happening that due to the described inability of Ubuntu to see /casper/vmlinuz.efi files when booting using EFI the workaround of installing BIOS mode then installing grub-efi to get Ubuntu booting using EFI as well as telling installer to use existing ESP on sda most likely caused the fake initctl thing to happen!?. The outcome of "sudo sh -x /usr/sbin/grub-install" gave more than one page output and tried saving output as .txt and .log file but the only output there in were the bootloaders as listed by efibootmgr.

Latest bios for this hardware is F8a which is available to public. Gigabyte Global Technical Service provided me with F8c firmware which allows more predictable access to BIOS settings. Again rodsbooks provides excellent advice regarding Ubuntu creating a FAT16 ESP when installer booting EFI mode see http://www.rodsbooks.com/gb-hybrid-efi/ which is evidence it is possible to boot Ubuntu installer using EFI on very similar hardware.

Would like to update with some more observations; firstly with reference to original bug description regarding the workaround to get Ubuntu booting using EFI mode on this hardware: Boot-Repairs recommended fix wants to apply "rename bootloader" and after going for reinstalltion of Ubuntu using 13.04 amd desktop .iso made the conscious decision not to apply this which gives a seperate Ubuntu directory in ESP and boots just fine! This was attempted after reading http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/bootrepair.html which mentions a few problems relating to this situation of being unable to install using EFI mode. Perhaps Rod Smith is the man to ask about how to get Ubuntu installing EFI mode on this hardware!? His webpages are a very reliable source of information regarding all things U/EFI!

Attached a copy of terminal commands and outputs that Boot-Repair requested to be entered during the application of repair in order to upgrade BIOS boot to EFI mode booting of Ubuntu. As an observation previous attempts at using Boot-Repair to fix EFI mode boot of Ubuntu were alot more less successful. I suspect this was due to not actually rebooting Ubuntu in BIOS mode after installing BIOS mode to update the necessary files; "Warning: Fake initctl called: Doing nothing" and other troubles getting things to boot due to trying to install grub to existing ESP when booted using BIOS mode- most likely due to missing modules; packages and or dependencies! ** Attachment added: "Copy of Terminal input and output during Boot-Repair" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1225478/+attachment/3821057/+files/BootRepairTxt3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1225478 Title: package grub-efi-amd64 2.00-18ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1225478/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1225478] [NEW] package grub-efi-amd64 2.00-18ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Public bug reported: Listed under "I don't know" due to the many suspected causes of Ubuntu installer failing to install grub to an existing EFI partition at install. This is due to Ubuntu installation media failing to boot using EFI mode and have to boot using BIOS mode to get Ubuntu installer running. Having to rely on the work around of booting in BIOS mode for installation and using Boot-Repair to try and fix EFI mode boot of Ubuntu. One suspect contributing to this is hardcoding of firmware however have just booted using EFI mode after running Boot-Repair making sure the "Rename EFI entries" is NOT selected. Personally suspect grub install issues are an accumalation of several defficiencies in Ubuntu installer rather than being a grub bug. Have attached BIS for consideration. Due to observing Boot-Repair being run at least two thiousand times in less than two hours today may be indicative there is indeed many deficciencies in Ubuntu installer.

[Bug 1053897] Re: kernel does not boot without noefi on commandline
Ubuntu flavours <=12.04.1 may cause trouble regarding making a 16bit; or wanting to use a 16bit ESP whereas firmwares are looking for 32bit ESP= no worky!? The workaround is to allow installer to run as it wants to but be sure to copy ESP save in another location then delete 16bit ESP and remake 32bit ESP replacing the files from 16bit ESP before rebooting trying to use U/EFI. source http://www.rodsbooks.com/gb-hybrid-efi/ "A FAT-16 ESP, on the other hand, seems problematic.

The same .iso was used so this should not be relevant. checksums have been checked on .iso and veryified disk when burning. This is all using 13.04 Desktop amd64.iso. Getting to the black grub screen indicates liveDVD has booted EFI mode but iIt is when a kernel is selected i get the "can not read file" or cd and "you need to load the kernel first" errors. Using lsefisystab also confirms system is booting live DVD EFI mode.

[Bug 1025467] Re: sysrq is now completely disabled, it would be nice to maintain the ability to reboot etc
Apologies once again. Now understand S U B are only sysrq commands allowed by default by the use of bitmask 176 which for it is easy to change or adapt relevant settings to any other commands as needed or desired. This for me is applicable to 12.10 and 13.04 desktop amd64. Suprisingly very little information regarding sysrq in Official Ubuntu Documentation. Have posted an answer with much useful information regarding the use and configuration of sysrq in the link posted in last comment. The majority of the answer is copied from another ditrubitions wiki which is based on the Linux Kernel Documentation regarding sysrq. The conclusion to the answer in linked Ask Ubuntu question above is to leave the default settings as is unless there is obvious need to do otherwise. Just use SUB instead of RSEIUB! Tryng sysrq commands in tty will give text output which helps understand and prove there never was a complete disabling of sysrq. Have taken back my affected vote as a little research has proven i am unaffected. Another example of how Ask Ubuntu is a brilliant learning tool and just one of the many brilliant resources available through using Ubuntu! Links provided by mniess in other answer to the same question are key in understanding and appreciating why the need for different bitmask has come about and this is not a new concept. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025467 Title: sysrq is now completely disabled, it would be nice to maintain the ability to reboot etc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1025467/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Booting Ubuntu Desktop amd64 liveDVD (3.8.0-19-generic) in BIOS mode searching "computer" using file manager to find sysreq settings is now found in /etc/systl.d and named 10-magic-sysrq.conf. Looking in my Ubuntu partitionb which was last bootable using 3.8.0.28 kernel; also confirms sysrq as being disabled by default Can not find why this has been disabled as default so would like to take opportunity to ask; Why is sysrq disabled as default on liveDVD? Reading the original bug report refers to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/194676 confirms there may be secuity issues related to this. Is it possible to ask for some reasoning to this? I thought linux had reputation of being secure and virus free!? Is not a better idea to have sysrq enabled to allow the well known and used RSEIUB(O) if sytem hangs or freezes?

The location is of course /cdrom/boot/grub/grub.cfg. Other research may confirm this is a firmware issue. The firmware version is EFI 1.1 rev 2 which rEFInd sees as UEFI 2.1.

Then installing of grub-efi needs other modification to existing boot loader for Ubuntu to boot. This is due to firmware hardcoding by vendors.

This affects precise,quantal , and raring. Have not tried saucy yet. Is there a way to confirm the first stage installer are capable of running on an EFI system that is not secure boot capable? Is shim required on non SecureBoot system? I suspect if shim/ first stage installer are not able to run using .efi image and are only looking for signed.efi criteria not finding either so should drop to legacy/bios installer automatically but fall back installer is not running either. is only speculation because do not know the intended meaning of first and second stage installer- ref:http://web.dodds.net/~vorlon/wiki/blog/SecureBoot_in_Ubuntu_12.10/ ga a75 ud4h mobo being used. When booting precise,quantal or raring with EFI on get to situation as described http://askubuntu.com/q/208405/102029 and several other related questions. Searching ask ubuntu http://askubuntu.com/search?q=need+to+load+kernel+first+ confirms a recnt increase in these queries on differing hardware so this is almost a certain bug. Doing ls -l after dropping to command prompt when getting UEFI grub screen ref https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Identifying_if_the_computer_boots_the_HDD_in_EFI_mode confirms cd0,apple1 and cd0apple2 images are detected and might go some way to explaining why they are not usable on an amd 64 platform. running lsefisystab here also indicates EFI ver 1.1. rev 2 rEFInd sees this firmware as UEFI 2.1 which goes to completely confirm this is not Secure Boot capable system. Confirm Christopher M. Penalver's workaround does work but i do not see this as afull solution due to the lack of being to use efibootmgr when booting live session- which has to be with EFI off due to installer bug. No efi = no efibootmgr. If dual booting with windows using this workaround will mean having to simply create grub_bios partition, install grub-efi and possibly rename windows bootfmgr to trick firmware to booting grub-efi. Using boot-repair seems to be the accepted and easiest way of doing this but has hugely varying success rates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1072378 Title: [Asus Eee PC 1015BXO] Ubuntu 12.10 EFI support is not ready To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1072378/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This error is reproducable on my hardware >=12.04.2 with EFI mode on. Am posting this from 13.04 amd 64 desktop live session because of this error and others possibly associated with it. Using ga a75 ud4h mobo with latest firmware which uses EFI 1.1 rev 2 specification firmware. rEFInd sees this as ver UEFI 2.1. Using msinfo32 and windows upgrade assistant confirm this firmware/hardware is not Secure Boot capable. Searching Ask Ubuntu this bug may have regressed/resurfaced since 12.04.2/12.10. (http://askubuntu.com/search?tab=votes&q=you%20need%20to%20load%20kernel%20first). One similar question there http://askubuntu.com/q/206950/102029 links to this wiki http://web.dodds.net/~vorlon/wiki/blog/SecureBoot_in_Ubuntu_12.10/ which i have found helpful in getting confidence to post my first bug comment here. The article talks of first stage and second stage boot loaders as well as shim. Realise shim is Secure Boot related so is not the issue on this hardware but do not understand first stage and second stage boot loaders. Do know rEFInd sees BIOS/legacy bootloaders on media as "fallback loaders". I am guessing this is second stage bootloader. Which means if first stage loader is the signed.efi image then there is no usable .efi image to use on my hardware. How to EFI install Ubuntu on a system that is EFI capable but is not Secure Boot capable? Understand 11.04 11.10 want to make 16bit EFI partition if installing to a completely unallocated space drive which would mean fixing before trying to boot to - source http://www.rodsbooks.com/gb-hybrid-efi/ which is a different story. I can not boot any Ubuntu installer using EFI mode on this hardware. I asked this http://askubuntu.com/questions/208405/how-to-efi-install-ubuntu which links to thread over on Ubuntu Forums to try and find a working solution or a conclusion that explains why not! 13.04 installed using legacy settings although EFI was on which indicates the expected sequence described in http://web.dodds.net/~vorlon/wiki/blog/SecureBoot_in_Ubuntu_12.10/ However i can not replicate this and have never booted any Ubuntu installer using EFI mode on this hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993164 Title: error file not found you need to load the kernel first failed to boot both default and fallback entries To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/993164/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 984785] Re: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME
Since installing 12.10 have noticed that a warning box indicates a process is not shutting down as quickly as it should be ref signon-ui at shutdown time. This could be related to the use of Ubuntu One sign in with relation to the Backup app. If Backup is closed from desktop session an Ubuntu One sign in box appears. After noticing the hidden goutputstream files and doing a websearch then looking here it appears there is no definite cause to this happening. Reading comment #33 did motivate me to note my own observations but do not have programming experience to help identify what is the actual cause of the goutputstream files in home folder. Ref https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/984785/comments/33 Have noticed these hidden files but did not see them as problem until reading some of the comments here referring to this possibly being a security issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984785 Title: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/glib/+bug/984785/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
