[Marat Khayrullin]

Cannot install ubuntu 13.10 with secure boot enabled and fast boot disabled and UEFI mode on asus n750jv with windows 8 preinstalled. Hungs on a purple start screen with an ubuntu word. Ubuntu installed well after disabling secure boot.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I had the same issue with my Asus N750JV, and after many investigations, I succeeded to install Ubuntu in Secure boot.
You will find my workaround in the following thread:

Given that the solution presented here on the same kind of system was to set:

nomodeset acpi_osi=

It sounds a lot more like an issue in the kernel. Disabling Secure Boot should not impact the system if it reaches the point of the boot splash (the purple screen with the Ubuntu logo in the center, or with Ubuntu text). Reassigning to 'linux'.

Marat, did this solution help you at all?
