Boot-Repair custom entries fail when SecureBoot enabled

[schaefi]

Summary:
I used Boot-Repair 3.197 under ubuntu 12.10 to re-configure the bootsetup (Windows 8, Fedora 18, ubuntu 12.10, all under UEFI Secure Boot). Boot-Repair left the configuration unusable.
How can I create a boot process with the following characteristics:
1. ubuntu bootloader is the standard bootloader
2. ubuntu bootloader shows all other systems (Windows 8, Fedora 18) and their respective modes (Advanced Options, Rescue Mode etc.)

Details of Bug:
I booted ubuntu 12.10 via UEFI (-> F9 "Boot Options" -> select ubuntu) . I then started Boot-Repair and set the following options in the "advanced menue":
- ubuntu is the preferred operating system to be booted as standard
- /dev/sda2 is used as UEFI System Partition
I then pressed "apply" which resulted in changes to the files in /dev/sda2 and potentially elsewhere.
Then a re-boot shows the following characterisitics
1. ubuntu bootloader is the standard bootloader
2. the ubuntu bootloader shows some additional 15-25 entries for Windows 8 and Fedora 18. When chosen all other enteries except ubuntu enter directly in an error
3. re-booting Windows 8 via the UEFI (-> F9 "Boot Options") leads Windows into the rescue mode. Checking disks shows not errors. Reboot of Windows via UEFI then works. . The ubuntu bootloader still shows some additional 15-25 entries for Windows 8 and Fedora 18. When chosen all other enteries except ubuntu enter directly in an error
4. manually restoring all original files in /dev/sda2 brings back Windows 8 as standard bootloader. But:
a.) re-booting ubuntu via UEFI (-> F9 "Boot Options") and then chosing "Windows 8" in grub menue directly leads to an error
b.) re-booting Fedora 18 via UEFI (-> F9 "Boot Options") and then chosing "Windows 8" in grub menue directly leads to an error
Details of the setup can be seen here:

Anybody can help? How can I create a boot process with the following characteristics:
1. ubuntu bootloader is the standard bootloader
2. ubuntu bootloader shows all other systems (Windows 8, Fedora 18) and their respective modes (Advanced Options, Rescue Mode etc.)

Thanks for the report.

What was the problem before using Boot-Repair?

[schaefi (info-e)]

Hi YannUbuntu,

the problem was:
1. the systen booted into the Windows Bootloader by default. I want it to boot into the ubuntu boot loader by default
2. the ubuntu boot loader had entries e.g. for Windows and Fedora, that did not work. I want to start these operating system via the ubuntu boot loader
(3. This is not a real problem but a nice-to-have: The UEFI shows in the Boot Options Menu two entries for ubuntu: "ubuntu" and "Ubuntu". The latter does not work and should be cleaned up)

I hope this help to change the status from "Incomplete" to "Confirmed". If you need more info please let me know.

So initially the PC was booting Windows directly --> this is bug #1050940

Then, Boot-Repair managed to make the PC boot GRUB --> this is good

But GRUB's default entry for Windows ('Windows 8 loader on /dev/sda4') fail --> this is bug #1024383

So Boot-Repair added some 25_custom entries for Fedora and Windows. But in your case they fail.
Please disable SecureBoot (and Intel SRT if you have this option) in your BIOS, then run Boot-Repair 's Recommended Repair. Indicate the new URL that will appear. Then reboot and indicate what you observe.

Could you please explain what your intention is.

The first usage of Boot Repair has been quite "painful" and I do not want to be left with a completely unusabel machine
as this is my day-to-day working machine...

Just to be sure: I want all operating systems (Windows, ubuntu 12.10, Fedora 18) booting in UEFI Secure Boot mode.
I do not need the "BIOS legacy" mode. I am therefore a bit sceptical to run Boot Repair in "BIOS legacy" mode.
