    Ubuntu uses a bootloader shim that's signed by Microsoft so there should be no issue with secure boot.

    I think it's failing to create a UEFI partition trying to boot mmx64.efi but it's not found on the live CD


    *** Just realized where it's looking for mmx64 " Note from the subject line, mmx64 isn't missing, but the firmware is looking for it in /BOOT/ while it lives in /ubuntu/ ... Not sure why this is, however."
