"SGX disabled in bios" use "nosgx" as a boot option

Post by bob_22 »

When my computer first boots I get that "SGX disabled in bios" error. I did some reading and SGX not necessary. So how do I add "nogfx" option as a boot option? I saw that adding this command will stop that error from popping up at boot. I am not sure of the correct syntax either. So if anyone can help me with this it would be great!

- Paste in a terminal xed admin:///etc/default/grub

- edit this line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" <-- This is an example. There may be different "arguments" there in your case.
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nosgx splash"
save

- Update grub configuration
sudo update-grub

- Reboot your system

That is not an error message. It is an informational message to let you know SGX is disabled (SGX is not being used).

You can add the nosgx kernel parameter to remove the message, but it will not change the functionality of SGX because SGX is not being used anyhow.

You can use the following information How to add a kernel parameter to temporarily or permanently add the parameter.

Found another solution that works great if you set your SGX setting to Software Controlled:
