Bootable device not found after clean install of Ubuntu 14.04 UEFI

I have a single boot laptop where I performed a clean installation of ubuntu.

After bot it shows a I
tried running boot-repair with this output http://paste.ubuntu.com/10605939
When if finishes it says
that repairs was successful, but the error persists.
The laptop did not have any operating system
previously installed on it.
I also tried to deactivate UEFI, but the desktop would not load correctly

making it impossible to install.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

2 A shot in the dark: Try disabling Secure Boot. Note that Secure Boot is not synonymous with UEFI. In fact,
given your configuration, it's best to boot in EFI/UEFI mode, so you should not attempt to disable UEFI (aka
enable BIOS, CSM, or legacy support). You might also want to read this page I wrote on EFI-mode installs or
this Ubuntu community wiki on the subject.

bodhi.zazen -> The actual error is literally "Bootable device not". Rod Smith -> I couldn't find an option to
disabling secure boot,only to disable UEFI, anyway I'll check it again and I'll post how it went.

Any feed-back on the above? Disabling UEFI is definitely the way to go!

Disabling UEFI lead to track pad ad other problems after install. The solution was to set up a bios password
and the an option to manually add trusted boot files appeared.

I got it work at Acer Aspire ES1-111-C827. Should be working on other devices, too. Probably the
BIOS-entries are a bit different. All you have to do is to register the newly installed UEFI-file as
trusted for executing in BIOS-security options.
Before installation goto BIOS-Settings, make sure to have this:

Dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 8 - no
