There's a new version of "shim" being used, and it does not yet have the required signatures for secure booting. Until that is corrected, secure-boot won't work for factory booting.
I am booting my factory system using the boot menu from opensuse 13.1. And that works fine. But it isn't easy to use that work-around for booting live media.
Actually we discussed this before accepting shim and expected not many people requiring secure boot for factory. But looks like we were wrong and should make sure we get only MS signed shims into Factory. Which is a pitty to rely on Microsoft for Factory development, but it will work out. Should we revert shim or are you just testing this feature?
Eventually, if you expect reasonably wide scale adoption of openSUSE:Factory as *the* installed version of openSUSE on systems, which I understand is the objective of the present Factory model, this issue will turn out to be a blocker, since most modern laptops come with UEFI-secureboot enabled. I was trying the Factory LiveCD not only to test but also to see if upgrading the 13.1 openSUSE on my laptop to the rolling Factory version would sit well, but clearly this problem blocks me off from so upgrading completely. My other objective was also to test how 13.2 is turning out and may be file some bugs if I could so find. I understand, then, that if the present situation persists, openSUSE 13.2 will also turn out to be uninstallable on secureboot enabled computers, isn't that so? That, for am official release version, would be really scary. Best wishes.
Greetings, Stephan
