Ubuntu 12.04 & UEFI mode

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4383 / 2 Years ago, sun, may 29, 2022, 12:44:01

On a new Dell XPS 8500, I tried to install a fresh xubuntu 12.04.2 with EFI enabled but it did not work: the 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install in /target/

As specified in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI, I disabled EFI boot and installation went fine (but it seems slower than with EFI).

Now that Ubunut is running fine, should I turn EFI boot on again or it won't change anything?

No, you should not enable UEFI.
Your Ubuntu is currently installed in Legacy (not-UEFI) mode. If you enable UEFI, your Ubuntu will not boot anymore.
