Depending on whether you're actually using the TPM for anything important, you might be able to simply turn it off in the BIOS. Otherwise, you'll presumably want to boot an Ubuntu live CD and re-install at least GRUB, and perhaps the shim: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/SecureBoot#Shim_bootloader_signed_with_Microsoft_key N.B. This is mostly guesswork based on the symptoms you describe. HTH As to fixing the problem (assuming that the cause is as I've guessed) we should probably try to detect the presence of the shim and refrain from installing Debian's grub until the user's seen a warning about being about to break the bootability of the other system.
