> Did you add any of these keys yourself, or did these come by default in your firmware?
No, I didn't add anthing before/after installation (and also I don't have that much knowledge either). As much as I follow, I was aware of that Microsoft gave authorization to Ubuntu under UEFI starting from Ubuntu 12.04.2, and I had read (I think on OMG! Ubuntu!) that before Microsoft, Canonical had other its own plans on UEFI, so I thought maybe I don't have the required Microsoft keys, but as you explain that's not the case then.
> How did you prepare the Ubuntu USB disk?
I've just bought this ASUS computer, so it's very new and I've been reading a lot about UEFI before the installation. So, I had Ubuntu 13.04 installed in my old laptop and I prepared the USB with Ubuntu's pre-installed USB installer software (usb-creator-gtk). I was thinking of using YUMI or Unetbootin in order to write image under Windows, but I thought that may cause changes in the ISO file and so didn't use them.
Before starting creating USB, I re-downloaded the 13.04 image in order to make sure that I have the most updated one, and controlled md5sum after the download. Additionally, I also burnt the image to a DVD and tried in that way too. I had the same result, so I'm sure that there couldn't be anything wrong regarding the installation media.
So, what to do now? :/
