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

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

@jderose signed with Microsoft Key, or Canonical Key? Are you willing
provision Canonical UEFI key? I haven't looked into shim chainloading,
but the signed shim should be able to chainload syslinux-efi instead of
grub.

However, why syslinux-efi instead of grub? I believe it is possible to
use shim+grub for EFI network boot.

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

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

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).
