Description Alexander Volovics 2018-02-13 14:15:09 UTC
Description of problem:

Using a USB stick with Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-27 I installed
Fed 27 on a Dell XPS-13 (9370) notebook with UEFI + Secure Boot enabled.
Booting after install I noticed the following:

- the message "Booting in insecure mode" appeared before Grub menu

- $ dmesg |grep -i secure
[    0.000000] secureboot: Secure boot disabled
[    5.564737] Loaded UEFI:MokListRT cert 'Fedora Secure Boot CA: fde32599c2d61db1bf5807335d7b20e4cd963b42' linked to secondary sys keyring

After a successful install of Fed 27 I would expect the following:

- the message "EFI Stub: UEFI Secure boot enabled" after the Grub menu

- $ dmesg |grep -i secure
[    0.000000] secureboot: Secure boot enabled
[    0.000000] Kernel is locked down from EFI secure boot; see man kernel_lockdown.7
[    1.202177] Loaded UEFI:MokListRT cert 'Fedora Secure Boot CA: fde32599c2d61db1bf5807335d7b20e4cd963b42' linked to secondary sys keyring
[    4.544900] Bluetooth: hci0: Secure boot is enabled

So it would appear that Secure Boot is not enabled.

I confirmed this with a new install of Fedora-Workstation-Live but now
using the F27-WORK-x86_64-20180204.iso respin from
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/live-respins/
Again: Secure Boot not enabled.

Dell ship their Sputnik systems with a pre-populated MokSB variable that disables Secure Boot, so this is working as intended on the Fedora side.
