Ubuntu 16.04 and Secure Boot
cnt0 opened this issue · comments
Today I realised that Ubuntu 16.04 rejects unsigned kernel modules (like this one) if Secure Boot is enabled. How to deal with it? That's what I can suggest:
- disable Secure Boot. Not so good for security, impossible in some cases
- use Secure Boot with our own certificates, i.e. compile kernel manually. Good only for Gentoo users
- push this driver into the kernel source tree. Don't know if it is possible. Looks like there are lots of issues with license, code quality, etc. @kuba-moo, can you make it clear?
I don't think this driver is getting upstream anytime soon. I'd try compiling the kernel from sources if I were you. It's not that hard and there is myriad tutorials.
I solved it using this package

download ZIP, unzip, run "install" and reboot.
I have a Asus tp300la.
