    boot-repair can't reinstall grub

    My boot-repair url is http://paste.ubuntu.com/5638657/

    New machine (Gateway DX4380-UR308), came with Win 8. I tried to install 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop (using an iso downloaded ~2 days ago). I booted from CD, selected install, had the entire disk wiped. Install seemed to go fine. I was able to install xfce and a few other things, configure the desktop, etc. But, when I rebooted, I got a boot error on startup. I followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI I was able to run boot-repair, but it hung while reinstalling grub. After waiting ~30 mins, I killed it and rebooted. I got to a grub prompt, but didn't know what to do at that point. I tried boot-repair again and had the same problem.

    I have disabled SecureBoot in my BIOS.

    Any help is appreciated!
