I bought a Portege Z935-P390
ran into the secure boot problem so I installed Ubuntu-Secure-Remix-64bit
never saw a grub menu on reboot, it just booted windows *unless* I had my installation USB inserted in which case it booted my Ubuntu install
Ran Boot-Repair
Then, I just get the nice Toshiba flash screen and the machine freezes no OS
Insert my USB stick and now it boots from the stick instead of my Ubuntu installed on the hard drive
Ran Boot-Repair again:
paste.ubuntu.com/1523936
but same problem: frozen at splash screen, no grub menu, and no OS ever starts
note there was some crazy message about telling my BIOS to point to some file on sda2, but I don't have a BIOS that's my whole problem, right?
