Hope it helps.

Solution 2:

I got Ubuntu to boot without much effort.

1. Make a bootable usb stick of Ubuntu 14.10. Use Rufus(Windows) or Startup Disk Creator(Ubuntu).

2. Copy this file (bootia32.efi) to /EFI/BOOT directory on the usb stick.

3. Turn Secure Boot off in the BIOS.

4. Boot from the usb stick.

This should boot Ubuntu 14.10 without any other issues. For further info check this answer on askubuntu.
