My system has been flakey since 15.04 and that's after a long drawn out fight... I tried using Boot Repair to see if that would fix the 'insecure' thing but it didn't. I was really sure to uncheck the secure boot option (it's off in UEFI settings). I thought I had removed £€%\£!!!!! Shim.

What it did do was attempted murder on my windows partition. Now when I select Windows from the GRUB menu I get:

-------

Shim UEFI Key management

Continue boot

Enroll key from disk

-------

etc., etc..

Fortunately I can get to Windows via my MB boot menu on the semi-rare occasions that I need it but it's still a pain.

It would be nice if someone could really really deal with the secure boot issue once and for all... seriously, how many people want it other than whoever coded it in there?
