Quote:Thought this link might be of interest to be able to boot into any UEFI secure boot without a lot of trouble. Thought maybe someone might want to look into getting this free code from Linux Foundation. http://www.linuxfoundation.org/news-medi...pen-source Granted it has been out for a while but might by now contain a simple solution making it easy to boot into any UEFI.
Thanks tomt for your interest. The Win8.1/LL2.8 UEFI dual-boot that I have, and which I described in post #1 of this tutorial, is in general continuing to work very well (for me personally).
The problem I had recently, in attempting to set up a Win8.1/LL3.0 UEFI dual-boot, was with the command --force (see #1, section D), which now appears to be deprecated in Ubuntu 16.04, so as a result I'm unable to install the UEFI to LL3.0 (which is based on Ubuntu 16.04). Because of this, I am therefore staying with what I know works, that is my Win8.1/LL2.8 UEFI dual-boot on an Asus G750 laptop.
Has anyone succeeded in installing UEFI to LL3.0 using the tutorial in #1 of this thread? If anyone has, please leave the solution here - I'm keen for a posted solution to share with everyone (based on experience) rather than speculation.
Many thanks
Regards
Mike
