I had a similar problem with booting a live CD ubuntu gnome 13.10, just could not boot it on a Packard Bell TE69KB, so I ended up, by disabling the secure boot and UEFI in the BIOS plus fastboot in win8. I could then boot the live DVD. At this point, I decided to keep this config and try to install ubuntu 13.10. Big mistake, as it installed but the win8 was still there along with some other partitions. I then uninstalled ubuntu . Then i installed ubuntu 13.10 secure by using the whole disk, as I didn't want win8 on the machine at all!!. This has worked out OK, but there is now a problem with the boot-up, there is an error but it still boots up into ubuntu 13.10. There is also a problem with it not shutting down properly, which I'm sure can be fixed either through the BIOS config or graphic card config. Anyway, enough of my ranting, hope this helps somebody.
