I concur. This issue is pretty serious. Unlike viking777, I used 'Something Else' option during partitioning to create different partitions, keeping one for installing Mint later. Little did I know that my Ubuntu install will lock me out of BIOS. Now I can't get my laptop to boot from the Mint DVD.
My Boot-Repair output is here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/5670796/ I tried the 'shorting' trick to get back the option to let me boot from CD/DVD, but it didn't work for me. Maybe I missed something. I do not have anything important in the laptop yet so I am very open to deleting everything and starting again but I am not sure how to achieve that since I cannot boot from LiveCD or any other OS. Can I use GParted to delete the EFI partition? Would I get back to BIOS then? I hope I do not end up with a dead system - can't reinstall, can't remove, can't add distros. - Satish Fujitsu Lifebook LH532 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082418 Title: Ubuntu UEFI install locks out UEFI firmware (~bios) access To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1082418/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
