Ubuntu 18.04: apt hangs during build of FWTS driver, Secure Boot enabled

[ivanhu]

Hi Fisher,

DKMS will be auto signed on 18.04 when secureboot is enabled. I believe 
the problem is a dialogue requesting to set a password never be popped 
up. A workaround given was when the installation gets stuck, type a 
password in the terminal blindly and press return twice. Or if you force 
close the terminal, you could try to run "Software & updates", the 
dialogue should pop up.


Cheers,
Ivan
