Fixing Secure Boot Violation on linux
On the linux machines with enabled Secure Boot you can catch something like this:
---------------------Secure Boot Violation---------------------
|Invalid signature detected. Check Secure Boot Policy in Setup|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
| [ OK ] |
---------------------------------------------------------------
There can be different reasons for this to happen. But if it occurs right after bootloader re-build (e.x after Kernel upgrades), most likely your UEFI boot order messed up.
Solution⌗
Check your boot order by:
efibootmgr -v
Assuming that you want to boot right into OS e.x Ubuntu, wrong sequence can look like:
BootCurrent: 0000
Timeout: 0 seconds
BootOrder: 0003,0002,0000,0001
Boot0000* ubuntu
Boot0001* CDROM
Boot0002* NIC
Boot0003* ubuntu
In this example Ubuntu tries to boot within unsigned bootloader (which is obviously not gonna work).
Let’s change it from grubx64.efi to shimx64.efi,
So sequence become: 0000, 0003, 0001, 0002
.
We can set it directly in BIOS/UEFI or with efibootmgr
:
efibootmgr -o 0000,0003,0001,0002
Reboot the machine to test changes.
