Secure boot enabled in BIOS (otherwise command in next step complains that secure boot is disabled).

It's too early to tell which is the easiest and best. You could manually say it is trusted, using an UEFI utility, but then would be locked into doing that for each update of those files.Īre there ways? Yes, many ways, and many avenues. There are other ways, but not for the faint of heart (or unskilled). Two, that grub-efi-signed is installed, so that the current UEFI firmware see's the efi files as being signed and trusted. One that the UEFI firmware is updated and current. But it running with SecureBoot enabled depends on other factors being in place for that to happen.

So Ubuntu today (20.04 and newer), if UEFI, will run with either SecureBoot enabled or disabled. They started supporting it again with LTS Version 20.04. Ubuntu, being right under Debian in the branch, took the lead in trying to support it again, to make Debian's promise good. Many early Vendor implementations in UEFI firmware need their firmware updated to be compliant to what is current to today.Ī number of years ago, Debian abandoned supporting booting with SecureBoot enabled, but promised to support it again in the future. SecureBoot is always going to be a subject. That was quickly found to be false and there are many work-arounds to install it on old legacy systems. when the first preview came out, everyone freaked out over an ealry indication that it would only install if UEFI, that SecureBoot had to be enabled, AND that it had to be TPM 2.0 or newer capable. Or a BIOS trusting a non-digitally signed OS Kernel.Īs for Windows 11. There is a difference in digitally signed 'packages', which would relate to APT trusting if a package is trusted, before installing it. Nvidia is 'Graphics', not an Operating System.

NVidia 'is not' a factor, in any way related to SecureBoot.
