[Bug 1104627] Re: Secure boot forbids loading module from (path)/boot/grub/gettext.mod

[steven_shiau]

I created an Ubuntu 12.04 live USB, with the secure boot option on in my uEFI BIOS, and put the Linux Foundation Secure Boot System
http://blog.hansenpartnership.com/linux-foundation-secure-boot-system-released/
on the USB stick. Booting the machine from USB stick, I can see the grub2 boot menu, however, after pressing enter to continue, it gave me this error:
----------------------------------------------------------
error: Secure Boot forbids loading mode from
/EFI/boot//x86-64-efi/linuxefi.mod
error: you need to load the kernel first
----------------------------------------------------------
I believe this is due to this patch (http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/grub2.git/tree/grub-2.00-no-insmod-on-sb.patch) was applied in the package grub2 (2.00-7ubuntu11). 
Any workaround I can let the boot continue?
Thanks.

Steven.

Title:
  Secure boot forbids loading module from (path)/boot/grub/gettext.mod

Status in “grub2-signed” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  grub-efi-amd64-signed: 1.9~ubuntu12.04.2+1.99-21ubuntu3.7

  I noticed something flashing by the screen while booting.  I snatched
  a video of the process and the message happens to be:

  error: Secure Boot forbids loading module from
  (hd0,gpt4)/boot/grub/gettext.mod.

  This is with a default grub.cfg which contains a snippet:

  if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then
    set gfxmode=auto
    load_video
    insmod gfxterm
    insmod part_gpt
    insmod ext2
    set root='(hd0,gpt4)'
    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 1888d780-1167-48e5-85a7-3bc94c4bc8d4
    set locale_dir=($root)/boot/grub/locale
    set lang=en_US
    insmod gettext
  fi
