[Bug 1929471] Please test proposed package

Tue Jul 20 14:36:57 UTC 2021

Hello Eugene, 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/1.37~18.04.10 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
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  fwupd does not load, can't upgrade firmware

  [Test plan]
  Try reinstall a firmware upgrade, make sure fwupd loads. Make sure you use secure boot. It's OK testing this in one release, as the fix is entirely shim-side and it's binary-copied.

  [Where problems could occur]
  We might fail to load fwupd on other systems. There should be no problem loading grub, as shim will always fall back to it if it can't load a specified boot loader.

  [Original bug report]
  I am running hirsute on Thinkpad X1 Carbon gen 7. Fwupdmgr used to work on groovy. Now, fwupdmgr detects new firmware, successfully places the .cap file in /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/fw/, successfully sets efi "next boot" to 2 which is "Linux-Firmware-Updater", but on reboot, there are no signs that fwupdx64 was attempted to be executed, and system drops directly into grub.

  Same when I use BIOS boot menu. There are entries for "ubuntu" and for
  "Linux firmware updater", but selecting any of them boots grub.

  After boot, EFI "BootCurrent" points to the updater entry, though it
  apparently did not run!

  $ efibootmgr -v|head

  These sympptoms match precisely a previous bug:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim/+bug/1864223

  Could it be that the fix introduced then was lost, maybe due to
  signing schedule?

  There is a github ticket https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo-
  thinkpad/issues/123 that could be explained by this problem too.
