Have you run into any systems that are in violation of the Secure Boot requirements that mandate that Secure Boot can be disabled?
(I'm not addressing the issues with an already installed system that was installed Secure Boot) I've only had to deal with the Nvidia signed driver thing once so far. As I recall it was one of those answer a string of questions right things, and if you mess up one of them the house of cards collapses and you have to start the OS install all over again. I particularly like the systems where when you disable Secure Boot in BIOS, the operating system install sees it then installs the OS secure boot anyway - so you then are forced to re-enable it in BIOS to get the system to boot. Much common sense when into THAT one, :-/ Ted -----Original Message----- From: PLUG <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Loren M.

I believe that was me. The topic I was proposing was Secure Boot and how to deal with the upcoming certificate updates that are going to be required when the old Microsoft CA expires in June. Many systems will need this update. I am hoping to go into the details of both installing your own certificates if you don't want to use the Microsoft certificates and how to deal with the Microsoft CA when you need to such as fulling the IT requirements for your employeer when you want to run Linux as your main operating system. I've had to deal with that to get my primary work laptop dual-boot enabled and with working Nvidia drivers that needed to be signed with a MOK. I will mark down May 7th on my calendar for that.
