I think Stephen's spell check meant UEFI not Jedi, but his star-wars propensities won.

You should be able to get ubuntu working with secureboot, but I've never done a dual boot personally.  Make sure you look at it from the UEFI perspective.  As Stephen also indicted, you can set to boot in "legacy mode" too, but that will break windoze ability to secureboot.

Thank microsoft and their for making cronie hardware oem's have to protect their crappy os from infection (and replacement).  I'd rather just move it to a vm under linux until it can be jettisoned later.

Trying to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8. I have a properly formatted install disc and have followed the included instructions, but no matter what I try, my computer still boots to Windows. Can anyone help?

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
