[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Łukasz, or anyone else affected,

Accepted shim-signed into bionic-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim-
signed/1.37~18.04.9 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in

Title:
  Grub2 menu not loading - could not create MokListXRT: Out of Resources

Status in shim package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in shim source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in shim source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed
Status in shim source package in Hirsute:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Systems fail to mirror MokListXRT. We've taken measures to reduce the size of the variable, and also made one spot non-fatal when running on non-secureboot systems that was fatal before which should address those issues. Also see related bug 1928434.

  [Test plan]
  We do not have tests to verify this

  [Where problems could occur]
  See bug 1928434; and also the point where we make it non-fatal only changes code path on non-secureboot systems, so there is an easier workaround if they fail to boot anyway. Although, it literally just adds an `|| efi_status == EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES` as non-fatal condition.

  [Original bug report]

  
  Thinkpad T430 I5-3320M
  Ubuntu 21.04 (ZFS)
  Dual boot: Ubuntu and Windows 10 on separate drives

  Steps to reproduce:

  * system update using 'apt update' in terminal. I have attached apt log file. The problem appeared after 'Start-Date: 2021-04-15  19:40:02', last entry.
  * 'zsysctl service gc -vv' - to remove unnecessary states
  * restart the system

  Outcome:

  * Grub2 menu does not show. Instead, error messages appear:
  'Could not create MokListXRT: Out of Resources'
  'Failed to set MokListXRT: Out of Resources'
  * After 10 sec Ubuntu starts (Ubuntu was previously set as default system)

  Expected outcome:
  * Grub2 menu with Ubuntu, Windows and recovery options
