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

[Dave F]

My system has been flakey since 15.04 and that's after a long drawn out
fight...  I tried using Boot Repair to see if that would fix the
'insecure' thing but it didn't.  I was really sure to uncheck the secure
boot option (it's off in UEFI settings).  I thought I had removed
£€%\£!!!!! Shim.

What it did do was attempted murder on my windows partition.  Now when I
select Windows from the GRUB menu I get:

-------

Shim UEFI Key management

Continue boot

Enroll key from disk

-------

etc., etc..

Fortunately I can get to Windows via my MB boot menu on the semi-rare
occasions that I need it but it's still a pain.

It would be nice if someone could really really deal with the secure
boot issue once and for all... seriously, how many people want it other
than whoever coded it in there?

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).
