Comment 9 for bug 1170183

Thanks, we installed Ubuntu 13.04 in secure boot mode, after running it in
secure boot live mode, it installed and then booted in secure boot.
Guess the updates which downloaded when we reinstalled the system fixed
whatever the problem was. Thanks a lot for all you time and effort. We
really appreciate it.
=)
Anyway we really like the 13.04 (final) it works well on this new system.
Ubuntu is great, and it keeps getting better and better. You are part of
what makes it better and better.
Thanks again, you were very, very helpful. =)
sincerely,
Lucille Winkler
