Post by rimling »

Hi!

Single OS, Mint 20.1. Notebook Dell Precision 5550
https://termbin.com/k372 is result of

Code: Select all

$ inxi -Frxzc0
Several days ago install new kernel linux-image-5.15.0-17-generic over Update Manager and can't boot with it.
Message on boot:

Code: Select all

unknown command hwmatch
error: /boot/vmlinuz-5.15.0-17-generic has invalid signature
Have next kernels installed

Code: Select all

$ dpkg --list | grep linux-image
ii  linux-image-5.13.0-27-generic                               5.13.0-27.29~20.04.1                                        amd64        Signed kernel image generic
ii  linux-image-5.15.0-17-generic                               5.15.0-17.17~20.04.2                                        amd64        Signed kernel image generic
ii  linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04                               5.15.0.17.17~20.04.2                                        amd64        Generic Linux kernel image

Trying solve problem, add GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep to /etc/default/grub and run

Code: Select all

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64-signed 
/boot/vmlinuz-5.15.0-17-generic is signed, but using an unknown key:
        Subject: CN = PPA canonical-kernel-team ppa
E: Your kernels are not signed with a key known to your firmware. This system will fail to boot in a Secure Boot environment.
As I understand it, the kernel is not signed. There is a chance that a signed version of the kernel will be released in the future? Disabling secure boot is not an option

If Mint is the only OS installed, what is your objection to turning off Secure Boot? It was designed specifically for Windows.

I thought again, and disabled Secure Boot :)
