can not boot Ubuntu with secure boot enabled

When you say the "system" would not boot with secure boot enabled, do you mean you could not boot from the install media? Or that, after install, the system would not boot if you enabled secure boot?

What is the system (make, model) that this happened on?

The machine is a new Dell Inspiron Model# l15RV-1430BLK. It has 4GB of
Ram, and a Intel Pentium 2117U processor. It was pre-loaded with Windows
8, I followed the instructions here:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-uefi-supported-windows-8-system

Once I got Ubuntu installed I was not able to boot either OS. The UEFI
firmware has a setting for UEFI boot with secure boot off. So I tried
that. After that Ubuntu loaded, then I ran boot-repair per the tutorial
mentioned above. Note: during boot-repair I got this URL:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/5806683. Once I ran boot repair I could load
either Windows 8 or Ubuntu, which was my goal. The tutorial did ask that
I submit a bug related to the secure boot.
Also note the boot menu is Grub 2. I have made a few minor changes to
the Grub menu, just to clean it up, but other than that I have been
using both Windows and Ubuntu without any other changes. There are a few
errors that pop-up during boot, but these just go away and the OS boots.
If you want to know what they are, I will try to catch them and write it
down on my next reboot. The text disappears pretty fast, and they are
not noticeable errors. I think there are different errors for both
Windows and Ubuntu, but I have not paid close enough attention yet.

It may also be important to note that during my install the Windows OS
was not detected. I did partition my drive using Windows Disk Manager.
When I ran the Ubuntu install, I selected "Something Else" and created
the partitions I needed there. I also installed the boot manager to the
disk's MBR. But the Live disk menu was definitely different that what I
am used to, so I assume it detected the UEFI firmware.

Let me know if you need any more information. I do want my computer
running the optimum configuration, so I would love to hear any tips.

Thanks,
