[Bug 1928434] Re: shim-signed does not boot on EFI 2.40 by Apple

If you were able to boot the install image, then this might not be a bug
in shim, as the shim on the install image should not work either. Also
we only download upgrades during install, but do not apply them, so you
should end up with 15.4-0ubuntu1.

I'd like to see results for each of those versions of shim (

* hirsute 15.4-0ubuntu1
* hirsute-updates 15.4-0ubuntu2
* groovy-updates 15+1552672080.a4a1fbe-0ubuntu2	

Note that you need to install shim-signed.

  shim-signed does not boot on EFI 2.40 by Apple

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I have a MacBookPro14,3. After upgrade to Ubuntu 21.04 it failed to boot.
  At first I thought I'm affected by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim/+bug/1925010.

  But my MacBook has newer efi Version and the fixed version of shim-
  signed is not solving my issues.

  >sudo dmesg | grep EFI
  [    0.000000] efi: EFI v2.40 by Apple
  [    0.011978] ACPI: UEFI 0x000000007AF7D000 000042 (v01 INTEL  EDK2     00000002      01000013)
  [    0.012029] ACPI: Reserving UEFI table memory at [mem 0x7af7d000-0x7af7d041]

  [    0.418914] EFI Variables Facility v0.08 2004-May-17
  [    2.696996] fb0: switching to amdgpudrmfb from EFI VGA

  I reinstalled Ubuntu 21.04 from scratch and updated all packages during installation.
  The reboot failed. I hear the apple start sound and then an endless repeating echo.
  I've chrooted inside my system and verified that shim-signed 1.47+15.4-0ubuntu2 is installed.

  The suggested workaround from the other bug works (I can normally boot afterwards):
  /boot/efi/EFI# cp -b ubuntu/grubx64.efi ubuntu/shimx64.efi
  /boot/efi/EFI# cp -b ubuntu/grubx64.efi BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI

  "sudo apt reinstall shim-signed" reliable breaks my macbook again.

  Is there anything I can do to help solving this issue? What do you
  need?
