This issue occurs with 12.04, 12.10, and 13.04 (daily build from 2/21.2013.)
Realizing it's not "on topic" it also occurs with gparted, Knoppix, Linux Mint 13, Fedora; nothing I've tried Linux works beyond this point. Will run apport in a few moments. Thank you. ** Tags added: apport-collected staging ** Description changed: Machine Info: MSI notebook Model GT70-0NC-008US; tag under the battery shows GT70-0NC-494US Win 8 64 bit was pre-installed Intel Core i7-3610QM Processor, 2.3 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M 750GB HDD 16GB RAM No raid - Trying to run Precise or Quantal (or any other Linux distro known to man - for that matter) from live USB, system is unable to boot in UEFI mode. - Subsequently unable to run from HDD in UEFI mode. + Trying to run Precise or Quantal (or any other Linux distro known to man for that matter) from live USB, system is unable to boot in UEFI mode.
