[Andrew <1123403@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've confirmed that the 64-bit saucy daily build from 2013-09-20 fails
to boot with this message:

    1. USB HDD: SanDisk has been blocked by the current security policy.
    [Ok]

Retrying with secure boot disabled allows it to boot without error.

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

Title:
  Installer is blocked by UEFI Secure Boot

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

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.
