[Bug 1465396] Re: Please provide a signed syslinux-efi for secure-boot enabled systems

[Jason Gerard DeRose]

Mathieu: also, to clarify because I don't think my original description
was clear enough:

We want to have our firmware in UEFI mode with secure boot on by
default, yet we want to avoid having to toggle secure boot off in order
to image, the toggle it back on prior to shipping to the customer.

The "Booting in insecure mode message" I'm talking about is the result
of having secure-boot turned off at the firmware level, nothing to do
with the operating system.

So for us, it would still be hugely helpful to have a signed EFI
syslinux.

Title:
  Please provide a signed syslinux-efi for secure-boot enabled systems

Status in System76:
  New
Status in syslinux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  syslinux-efi is a great option for PXE booting a UEFI-mode client, but
  the current package is not signed and so cannot be used when secure-
  boot is enable.

  It would be very helpful if there was, say, a `syslinux-signed-efi`
  package similar to `linux-signed-generic`, etc.

  For what it's worth, System76 is working on switching all its products
  to UEFI, and this is one of the last blockers for our imaging system
  (we don't want customers to be confused/concerned about the "booting
  in insecure mode" message).
