Hi all,
just so you know, as per bug 1198101, the kernel for Tumbleweed received patchset for locked down kernel (see the bug). This will be a part of the 6.2.1 submission (SR#1068171).
Few notes: * Hibernation does not work when secure boot is enabled (bug 1208766) * Leap inherited/contains this patchset long from SLE time ago.
regards,
This needed a lot more warning; Tumbleweed does not have signed NVIDIA kernel modules at the moment, only Leap. There are going to be a lot of people with broken displays.
Highlighting for Stefan (sorry, looks like you are going to have some bug reports ...)
Thanks for letting me know! Yeah, it's the first time I hear about this. :-(
Adjusting the packages will be rather easy. Basically this means that TW users making use of the proprietary nvidia kernel modules will need to accept a new MOK key after rebooting the machine when having done a kernel update before via a regular TW update, because we don't provide a stable kABI with TW.
Personally I expect users to taboo (zypper lock) the kernel packages to get rid of this step. Many TW users may have never seen our MokManager before ...
I saw this the other day when upgrading a machine with Intel graphics from openSUSE 15.2 → 15.3 → 15.4 I recognize those displays, but I thought they came from the firmware. I thought I have a cute BIOS. IMHO, those displays need some help text, not to scare the crap out of people, so that we know what it is all about and what we should do and why that unexpected screen is there. Worse, I read now that it expects a USA keyboard layout and that it expects the root password. I thought it wanted the BIOS password, which happens to be the same. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
