Looks like you have a secure boot setup which should work. Can you get to the efi boot menu (F12 ?) and select ubuntu? I had no particular problems with a Toshiba S855.

Hmm OK. I'm trying to get into it. When I press F12 I get taken to a screen where I can chose the device to boot off (Hard-drive, USB...). The only 2 keys that appear to work are F2 (bios) and F12 (boot selection). I'll keep trying and search for my laptop's command.
grub on a single boot system.

Just read that, it doesn't work. My problem is I don't even get to grub. I'm stuck on the Toshiba bios splash. It seems like there's nothing bootable present.
Is your UEFI/BIOS the most current version from Toshiba?
I thought this was older models?
Some Toshiba's will not boot.
they managed to leave the signing key out of the database that's used to validate binaries
And some systems are hard coded in UEFI to only boot Windows. Some now have newer UEFI updates as a fix for that.
Lenovo ThinkCentre M92p only boots Windows or Redhat.

Hey guys, sorry for the delay. I was in college being all busy etc! Anyway I took it to the local guru in my college, he changes the bios options so that it booted in legacy mode and not efi mode, booted it up with some recovery stick, changed grub so that it was the normal one rather than efi grub - done.
Then I did a full re-install in the legacy mode and everything worked fine (again). No efi partition and a normal vanilla install of Ubuntu.
Thanks for all your help.
