Hi Jira,
Will these lockdown patches cause issues for VMWare Workstation Player which I current use for my VMs?
Whenever a new kernel comes out in TW, I have to recompile the vmmon and vmnet modules which vmware provides for the Linux kernel.
If the lockdown patches will prevent those modules from being loaded,
Yes, it will. Loading unsigned kernel modules is prohibited if Secure Boot is enabled.
You can sign the modules and load the key to MOK too.
is there a way for me to disable the lockdown?
Disable Secure Boot.
I'm not sure, but I think this was suggested to do the trick: mokutil --disable-validation -- js suse labs
