[Bug 1993338] [NEW] multiple errors and warnings - possibly infected firmware/tpm certs

Tue Oct 18 17:44:27 UTC 2022

Public bug reported:

Been having issues running any OS in a stable manner for quite some
time, with checksums not verifying on install even if they did so
creating the install medium, I'm not sure if this is the correct type of
report, but I really just hope that someone more experienced than me can
find what might be the issue.

Installing Ubuntu (or any other OS) usually completes but after a while
I start getting various errors, crashes etc that floods the log, and its
usually related to drivers failing. My internet connection (Ethernet and
Wifi) fails every time I try accessing some online resource for
security, updates, Microsoft(when using Windows), and whatever endpoint
these bugreports have. Either the interface/adapter completely
disappears or it's a "temporary error in namespace resolution". I've
also noticed that I can no longer hard reset my router.. the list goes
on and on.

Now just right before installing, I manually cleaned out my secure boot
certificates (I'm trying everything at this point) and I don't know if
that did anything but at least I'm writing this.

I've been trying to get help with this previously (it's been several
months) but I just get told I'm chasing ghosts and that it's all in my
head. If I'm going to get the same answer now, please confirm at least
that you've read the logs so that I can book a spot at the asylum with
confidence.

Thanks

(This should an install from latest iso 20.04 from Ubuntu.com, but Im
still in live env.)
