Title:
  [Acer V5-171] Installer is blocked by UEFI Secure Boot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” source package in Saucy:
  Won't Fix

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]

  [2]: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows

  WORKAROUND: Enable legacy BIOS boot mode.
