Comment 216 for bug 1040557

So further to my earlier posts #212 and #215 I followed these steps and Ubuntu 13.04-desktop-amd64 installed without glitch.

So:
Updated BIOS using built in Samsung updater
Disabled Secure Boot
Change OS selection to CSM OS
USB HDD to highest priority
Boot from USB and install Ubuntu

The only problem I have at the moment is the bootloader. Loading Windows 8 from GRUB gives error. When in UEFI mode Windows 8 boots fine. When in CSM OS Ubuntu boots fine from GRUB.

Going to try and follow steps in #202 to resolve this. But this is a minor issue. Basically not bricked!
