First of all, not I being despise of using Windows, but I missed working on Linux environment computer. The office Toshiba Portege Z930 Ultrabook has been handed over to me recent month a go, comes with pre-installed Windows 8 Single Language, then I tried to upgraded to Windows 8.1 Single Language. After few days using Windows 8.1 as working environment to develop web apps, writing reports, do work administration, doing some research or technical paper, or simply do technical writing.
Then, it snaps me hard one day. I missed working on Linux, those Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Lubuntu, or Kali Linux. But, I can't do anything to converted these Windows 8.1 to any Linux. Main reason that, these are office laptop, and when it handed to me Libre Office still can't maintain Microsoft Office 2010 docx format. Windows 10 came out, I'm eager to tried it, after upgrade it and a whole month trying, still deep down I still missed working with Linux.
One day, I discretely installed Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS on these machine, but disaster happen. The impatience made me blind and fool, these device had UEFI BIOS Boot mode and come with Secure Boot, instead of Legacy Boot mode. After, first time clean installation, the boot loader are not detected. Even worst, the Operating System isn't detected at all by BIOS. Again I said to myself, this is a disaster! I tried everything I could to find resource and knowledge from any Ubuntu users forum, stackexchange, or any blog posts that come out from search engine, but after three days trying to repair boot loader, any EFI or GRUB, still failed.
For the record, yes I already tried with Boot Repair GUI which install to Live USB mode, with these step:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair
sudo boot-repair &
try with recommended solution and come out with these result http://paste.ubuntu.com/13310433/, or advanced mode and choose nomodeset, reinstalled grub and rewrite the efi and having these result http://paste.ubuntu.com/13322056/. Still nothing happen, trying with manage flags on GParted, failed result also.
On the verge of giving up, I found a blog post that gave me something useful. Thanks to J.A. Watson post on ZDNet explaining how he install clean Linux or rather Ubuntu distros and derived on his laptop. Let go the chance on using UEFI and Secure Boot mode and revert back to CSM and not Secure Boot mode, and whala... Ubuntu running on my office Ultrabook.
But, that UEFI Boot problem still bothering me, why boot-repair couldn't repair it, and why Ubuntu still couldn't be able installed on Toshiba Portege Z930 with UEFI and Secure boot, or that just happen with these Ultrabook that handed to me?
If you readers have same problem and had solution, I'm open to hear or read it. Thank you.
