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?
[...] 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.
Factory's purpose is to get package updates all the time whereas releases are frozen. So a release would of course get a shim version with signature. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
