Dell Sputnik systems disable Secure Boot

February 14, 2018 ~ hucktech

https://t.co/4tSwynJim9 is certainly confusing (Dell ship their Linux systems with UEFI Secure Boot enabled, but set a variable that causes Linux to disable validation)

Wow, that's just… wow. They had to invent a method that's actually more work than just enrolling the UEFI CA credentials that RedHat has already used to sign their UEFI loader.

“Dell ship their Sputnik systems with a pre-populated MokSB variable that disables Secure Boot, so this is working as intended on the Fedora side.”
