(Get the code!)
Just to let you know: I removed my original hard drive (with Windows pre-installed). It made no difference.
It was removed prior to filing this bug, And I am still running without the hard-drive. Meaning, apport-collect was also run without the original hard-drive.
From this I beleive that it was not the boot record on the hard drive that was tampered with.
I also beleive that Fuhitsu Lifebook AH532 came without secure boot. I did not have to shift-click on shutdown in Windows to tell the system I wanted to enter the"BIOS" when restarting. (Something I had to do on my newer laptop.)
Also, when I changed the boot order on the AH532 (prior to installing thef first LiveUSB) I entered what looked like the BIOS. It had all the old BIOS settings, and did not miss notice anything missing. On my newer laptop, I was puzzled that the "BIOS" looked different, missing a lot of features. (Now, I beleive that this "BIOS" was the UEFI boot screen.)
My conclusion: It might be that my Ubuntu installation thought my PC was using secure boot, even though it didn't. It tried installing as if it was secure boot, but this failed, and now I'm stuck. Prehaps....?
