[Joseph Salisbury <joseph.salisbury@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any
development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore,
we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further
testing. This is such a request.

We are approaching release and would like to confirm if this bug is
still present. Please test again with the latest development kernel and
indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the
following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to
Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from
Incomplete to Fix Released.

Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.


** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

** Tags added: kernel-request-3.11.0-7.14

Title:
  Installer is blocked by UEFI Secure Boot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” source package in Saucy:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The release notes for Ubuntu 12.10 claim [1] that UEFI Secure Boot is
  supported and suggest that I should expect an "it just works"
  experience on new hardware.

  However, when I try to boot an Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit bootable USB stick
  [2] on a brand-new Acer Aspire V5-171, the following message appears:

      2. USB HDD: Memorex TD Classic 003C has been blocked by the current security policy.
      [Ok]

  I have confirmed that the USB stick boots without error when I enable
  the legacy BIOS boot mode on the computer's setup screen.
