UEFI secure boot--any experience out there?
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, July 08 2013 @ 03:56 PM EDT
Matthew Garrett is pretty much one of the foremost minds on implementing Secure
Boot. He had been working at Red Hat but is somewhere else now. His blog
contains a lot of articles on the problems with Secure Boot, including buggy
hardware (Samsung) and late hardware initialization.

UEFI secure boot--any experience out there?
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, July 09 2013 @ 07:33 AM EDT
I've just put Debian 7 on a brand new Fujitsu Lifebook LH522.
It does require an EFI boot partition (don't know about the U bit)
It came with a blank hard drive and I didn't do anything that looked as if it
might be secure boot with keys or anything.
The Ralink 3290 wireless chipset is not supported by the firmware in backports
(even though it is stated to) but it is in testing but I cannot get it installed
properly and I don't think it is entirely my fault even though I am no guru.

Disabled it on my ASUS N56DP-DH11
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, July 09 2013 @ 11:44 AM EDT
I just purchased a new ASUS with an AMD A10 APU and 8 gig of
ram. I first tried to dual boot it and got frustrated with
EUFI. So I didn't really want to keep windows anyway, so I
disabled secureboot and EUFI. Kubuntu installed fine and workd
wonderfully. This laptop is more powerful than my desktop, I
love it.

"no secure boot"

The threadstarter should really have put a smiley face after
that comment. He is not an authority on Groklaw.

Sorry about that. It seemed like such a broad topic, I was
having fun exploring just how wide it was.

the threadstarter.
