  • How did you create the USB stick? If you did it from Windows, try doing it using rufus, because Unetbootin has many problems with the new versions of Ubuntu, UEFI and Secure Boot.

  • I did it from Mac OS with Unetbootin. I don't have any Windows machines. Only one with Mac OS Commented Jul 26, 2016 at 7:56
  • Ok, then I don't know how to help you. Let's wait for someone more expert than me on Mac OS :)

  • Secure boot or fast boot should be available on BIOS/UEFI. Remove all USB drives from laptop, shut it down and wait for 1-2 minutes ( to let the RAM memory settle clear). Restart laptop and you should be able to access BIOS. If that still doesn't happen, you need to reset the BIOS by temporary removing the BIOS battery on the mainboard.

  • It didn't work. I don't want to try removing the BIOS battery. That doesn't guarantee success and I don't want to open up the laptop Commented Jul 26, 2016 at 8:43
