[Bug 1384973] Re: shim prints "Booting in insecure mode" when booting without SecureBoot enabled

[Phil Ferrar]

Any Help,
Is there any way someone can post [or direct users to] a simple response to this issue. My experience is  that although I've upgraded to 15.04 o.k. and seem to be working properly, I have issues [like I'm unable to boot from a Live-DVD] and have read things online about having to 'short out' contacts on the laptop's processor ? Will the situation resolve itself over time or are we stuck with hardware that has been 'fried' [or whatever the term] such that we can not regain control of BIOS / UEFI etc.
Thanks,
Phil

Title:
  shim prints "Booting in insecure mode" when booting without SecureBoot
  enabled

Status in shim package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  shim 0.7 has an unfortunate bug where when booting with SecureBoot
  disabled (i.e., in setup mode), it will print the message "Booting in
  insecure mode" and pause for two seconds before booting.

  This has been corrected upstream in commit
  d95b24bd02cf41cca9adebd95f10609d6424d2b3, which postdates 0.7.  We
  will include this fix in the next upload of shim (dependent on a
  Microsoft round-trip for signing).
