So the same chain of trust that is required to cross-boot distribution could be established with 3rd party repositories as in the 3rd party repo would have to provide Fedora with their public key to be included, Then that 3rd party ( or consumers of that 3rd party resources ) could sign a kernel and or related modules for nvidia, virtualbox etc.
I'm not part of the "boot team" but to me I would think that this needs to be handled like you would handle replacing your own distribution's version of shim with another one and therefore require adding its public key as a machine owner key (MOK).Īs an example if you intend to use Fedora's shim to boot for example Arch/CentOS/Debian/OpenSuse/RHEL/Ubuntu kernels you must obtain the Secure Boot public key associated with that target OS and add that public key right.

I know it is possible to produce signed kernel module packages, but I do not know how to with the Koji build system (I know how to with the Open Build Service and manually with a local RPM build).įrom my perspective, we need to solve this problem to provide a good user experience to most (if not all) Linux notebook PC users with mid-range or high-end notebook PCs, as those typically have NVIDIA GPUs.

Our driver packages are provided by who currently does not know how to solve this problem for users running Fedora on Secure Boot UEFI systems that cannot or will not turn off Secure Boot.
To make matters even worse, this is entirely self-inflicted: distributions like openSUSE and Ubuntu have functioning NVIDIA binary driver packages with UEFI secure boot, and the NVIDIA blob installer script will automatically generate a local cert and key set, import it into the kernel, and build the kernel module on the machine with that key so that it will load. Moreover, with Fedora now being preloaded on laptops that have NVIDIA GPUs on them, we need a solution for this where users will not wind up being frustrated when trying to enable this through GNOME Software. Ordinarily, we generally seem to be expecting people to go into their firmware settings to turn off Secure Boot for this, however I do not believe this is acceptable. This makes the NVIDIA driver enablement we have completely ineffective in this scenario.
Fedora's kernel is configured to block kernel modules that are not signed with a recognized certificate from being loaded. However, when we start up in the third mode, we have a problem. In the first two modes, everything is fine and the driver works. The BIOS/UEFI thread on reminded me that we still have a serious unsolved problem for Fedora desktops using Secure Boot UEFI: the NVIDIA driver packages we offer do not work in this configuration.įedora has three startup modes: classical BIOS, UEFI, and Secure Boot UEFI.
