    Ubuntu 12.04.3 (erase and install) won't boot - Toshiba Z930

    Hey guys/gals,

    I've posted here previously about this issue (a couple of months ago) but the same fix hasn't seemed to work for me as it did back then.

    Anyway my hard drive failed on my laptop so I sent it back off to Toshiba for repair. It came back with Windows 8 on it and so I thought I'd do the same as before and install Ubuntu on it.

    I've installed Ubuntu (with erase and install entire disk) and ran boot repair (after turning if off and on again), I've done this twice with secure boot on and off with Intel Smart Response technology turned off in both cases.

    Unforunately I don't have the pastebins from previous runs but I can gladly get them if needs be. Currently I've got Ubuntu installed with secure boot off but I can reinstall in any way people want to suggest.

    Am I missing something obvious from what I've just described? Or am I really goosed?

    Edit: I should say that when it won't boot I mean that it won't get passed the Bios splash of Toshiba. Basically I don't get any Grub and it hangs indefinitely.

    Thanks in advance!

    Yep, I'm just not hitting grub. I've tried boot repair in multiple configurations (in terms of secure boot being on and off) with no joy.

    What do you have in the efi boot menu? Hit F12 (maybe) to bring it up. Or from live media, run sudo efibootmgr -v to list the choices with their executables, so we can see what is failing to run.

    I'm not dual booting! Should I give it a read anyway?

    Hey, I ran "sudo efibootmgr -v" and got the output:

    I apologise in advance if this looks like crap. Do I wrap them in code tags?

    That was a link to Boot-Repair.
    But you said you have tried Boot-Repair.
    Best to post a link to the BootInfo report. You can just rerun it and post a new link.

    Apologies for the delay. So anyway I've just done a fresh install of 12.04.3, secure boot on and just ran boot repair - http://paste.ubuntu.com/6538230/

    I can try again with secure boot off if you think that'd make any difference!
