[Bug 1789918] Re: /boot/vmlinux-4.17 has invalid signature

My guess is that Brad's been getting all his kernels from the ckt PPA,
which means they'd all have snakeoil sigs on them instead of the archive
sig.  In this case, "linux-image-4.17.0-6-generic" and "linux-
image-4.17.0-6-generic" aren't the same thing, cause linux-signed
binaries are rebuilt when we copy to the archive.

Disabling the ckt PPA and doing an "apt-get --reinstall install <list of
packages above>" will probably fix it.

In future, I imagine kernel team folks might want to add their PPA's EFI
signing key to MOK on systems where they're likely to run PPA kernels.

Title:
  /boot/vmlinux-4.17 has invalid signature

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is on a cosmic system. I wanted to test the 4.18 kernel in the kernel teams unstable ppa. I enabled that ppa, then ran "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and then rebooted. Upon boot grub started reporting that none of the kernels I have installed have valid signatures. These were working just fine before this update. The only remedy was to disable secure boot in my bios.
