I just bought a sony vaio pro for my wife and in the process of setting it up with Ubuntu. It came pre-loaded with W8.
After numerous attempts at installation, and following available instructions, I am stuck and need help. I am able to boot into a Live USB every time.
I have
1. In the BIOS: Disabled Secure Boot, Left UEFI enabled (If I change to legacy the LiveUSB hangs during kernel startup)
2. Booted from Live USB and used the automatic / erase existing installation options
3. Reboot, and get a message from the firmware that windows cannot be found
4. Launched back into the Live USB and run boot-repair (output here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6658144/)
5. Rebooted, same problem...
Can anyone help?
One note - I have no idea what this meant in the boot-repair output, so that may be the step I am missing
"Please do not forget to make your BIOS boot on sda1/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi file!"
Thanks in advance
