After "zypper dup" and extensive subsequent updates, I tried it anyway (thanks, Andrei, Marcus), and it seemed to work temporarily, but then failed again. (I would be happy keeping "secure boot" permanently off in the BIOS, but part of the immediate problem is that the battery is thoroughly dead, so the BIOS keeps forgetting. I am getting a new battery today, but it would be nice to kill this useless pseudo-security rigmarole once and for all.)
I have not read the entire thread, but I noticed this part. If the battery is dead, and the BIOS clock dies, a computer hits security problems as soon as it hits things dated today. Specifically, security certificates fail. Web browsing and downloading things become a pain. Just saying, in case it applies, because I have been bitten by it :-) I will read the rest of the thread later. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
