[Bug 1201257] Re: Ubuntu doesn't boot from Windows 8 boot menu
Thanks for the warning. I was aware of that I have two disks (One HDD, and one 24 GB SSD) but most probably I'd forget that and format the 24 GB SSD (/dev/sdb). So, my USB stick was /dev/sdc and I used dd command (btw, you made a mistake while giving the command, there shouldn't be a space in of =/dev/sdN). However, NOTHING CHANGED :( Same result. So there's nothing wrong with usb-creator, and what now? Do you think trying 13.10 would change the situation? I want to clear something, when I try to boot Ubuntu installation via USB/DVD in SecureBoot, computer doesn't give any error output, it is able to show me the UEFI boot menu (Install Ubuntu, Try Ubuntu, Check Disk for Errors, etc.) but when I select any of them, it just waits in black screen without any error message. So, I installed Ubuntu SecureBoot disabled, and then after enabling SecureBoot and trying to boot Ubuntu I received Secure Boot Violation: Invalid signature detected. Check Secure Boot Policy in Setup. So, while trying to install, computer doesn't give any error outputs, but it just doesn't continue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1201257 Title: Secure Boot doesn't work with ASUS S56CB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim/+bug/1201257/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1201257] Re: Ubuntu doesn't boot from Windows 8 boot menu
Also, sometimes during boot the fan starts working very loudly and the only way to stop is turn off the computer. It happens only when I'm using Ubuntu, and I'm about to give up using Ubuntu. I had been using it happily with my old computer but with this one it seems as if they tried a lot for disabling users to use another OS! Computer works very silently (nearly unheardable) when I'm in Windows 8 but when I open Ubuntu, it works with some hearable noise. Now I see that while booting Ubuntu, I receive an error before Ubuntu logo appears: [ 17.827875] nouveau E [ DRM] Pointer to TMDS table invalid I have Nvidia graphics card, so this nouevau is related to that as far as I know but, in case it helps... ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu doesn't boot from Windows 8 boot menu + Secure Boot doesn't work with ASUS S56CB -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1201257 Title: Secure Boot doesn't work with ASUS S56CB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim/+bug/1201257/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Oh! that's something different, then. We may be looking at a bug anywhere between shim, grub, the kernel, or the installer. So, I installed Ubuntu SecureBoot disabled, and then after enabling SecureBoot and trying to boot Ubuntu I received Secure Boot Violation: Invalid signature detected. Check Secure Boot Policy in Setup. Right, that's because currently when you install on a system without Secure Boot enabled, the signed bootloader is not installed. This is related to bug #1184297, which we're working on resolving. In the meantime, after installation you can do the following: sudo apt-get install grub-efi-amd64-signed shim-signed sudo grub-install --uefi-secure-boot After running those two commands, you can reboot, re-enable SecureBoot in the firmware, and try to boot the *installed* Ubuntu under SecureBoot. It shouldn't give you a security error - though it might still fail with the same issue you saw when trying to install. Please let me know whether this lets you successfully boot the system; that will help us narrow down the real cause of this install-time bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1201257 Title: Secure Boot doesn't work with ASUS S56CB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim/+bug/1201257/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've just bought this ASUS computer, so it's very new and I've been reading a lot about UEFI before the installation. So, I had Ubuntu 13.04 installed in my old laptop and I prepared the USB with Ubuntu's pre- installed USB installer software (usb-creator-gtk). I was thinking of using YUMI or Unetbootin in order to write image under Windows, but I thought that may cause changes in the ISO file and so didn't use them. Before starting creating USB, I re-downloaded the 13.04 image in order to make sure that I have the most updated one, and controlled md5sum after the download. Additionally, I also burnt the image to a DVD and tried in that way too. I had the same result, so I'm sure that there couldn't be anything wrong regarding the installation media. So, what to do now? :/ To rule out this being a problem with usb-creator, please rewrite the USB stick directly using dd. Please note that you must be *very careful* when using this method: because you are writing to the device directly, if you get the wrong device name, you can overwrite your system's main disk. On your existing Ubuntu installation, *before* plugging in your USB stick, run from the commandline: $ ls -l /dev/sdb this should say: ls: cannot access /dev/sdb: No such file or directory If so, then 'sdb' is the correct device. If not, repeat for sdc, sdd, etc. Plug the USB stick into the computer, and repeat the last command. If you have the right device name, it should now show you the device, not an error message. Once you have the correct device, run: $ sudo dd if=/path/to/ubuntu.iso bs=$((1024*1024)) of =/dev/sdN where /dev/sdN is the device corresponding to the USB stick. When that command completes, you will have a USB stick with the unmodified Ubuntu image. If that still fails, then there's definitely some problem with shim (though I don't know what). If it succeeds, then it's a bug in usb-creator. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1201257 Title: Ubuntu doesn't boot from Windows 8 boot menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim/+bug/1201257/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sorry, I couldn't attach the files in a single post. When I try to boot with SecureBoot, the error is Secure Boot Violation: Invalid signature detected.

[Bug 1201257] Re: Ubuntu doesn't boot from Windows 8 boot menu
Thanks, this is very interesting; it shows that not only does your firmware include the expected Microsoft key, your firmware *also* includes the Canonical Secure Boot key. This makes it doubly surprising that the stock Ubuntu image doesn't boot under Secure Boot. Did you add any of these keys yourself, or did these come by default in your firmware? How did you prepare the Ubuntu USB disk? The preferred way to do this is with a direct dd of the ISO onto the USB disk; the ISO is a hybrid image which is bootable out of the box as a USB disk, whereas many USB image creator programs try to modify the image in unpredictable ways when writing. PS: I know there are two different problems, and the priority here is to fix Ubuntu's SecureBoot problem (that's my wish also) but I also wanted to say the other problem with Ubuntu in Windows' bootloader. Yes. I've focused on the Secure Boot problem, because I understood that to be your priority. The other problem with booting under the Windows bootloader is probably not one that we will commit to fixing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1201257 Title: Ubuntu doesn't boot from Windows 8 boot menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim/+bug/1201257/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1201257] Re: Ubuntu doesn't boot from Windows 8 boot menu
Did you add any of these keys yourself, or did these come by default in your firmware? No, I didn't add anthing before/after installation (and also I don't have that much knowledge either). As much as I follow, I was aware of that Microsoft gave authorization to Ubuntu under UEFI starting from Ubuntu 12.04.2, and I had read (I think on OMG! Ubuntu!) that before Microsoft, Canonical had other its own plans on UEFI, so I thought maybe I don't have the required Microsoft keys, but as you explain that's not the case then. How did you prepare the Ubuntu USB disk? I've just bought this ASUS computer, so it's very new and I've been reading a lot about UEFI before the installation.
