Hello Phillip and everyone else,

> ubuntu failed to update the efi boot catlog to point to grub.

I checked on the Toshiba Satellite NB10-A-10N during my testing and
after the installation was done when I ran `efibootmgr -v` the typical
all lowercase "ubuntu" entry was in the output. When I restored the
drive to the initial state and removed the entry to reinstall with
secure boot enabled the result was the same on this machine: the catalog
was updated. I think we can rule that out.

I haven't tested this scenario as far a can remember and I don't have
access to such a machine currently.

Would it be a good idea to put this up to the top of the report and set
a corresponding tag or status so that someone else with such hardware
can provide the information?

I'd rather put the blame on the manufacturers or who ever writes the
firmware, but that wouldn't help solving the problem I guess. :)
