    The Secure Boot update failed to update a Secure Boot variable with error The parameter is...


    Hi, so I used to get the secure boot is not enabled variation of this error message, even though it was enabled in bios. I found checking the System Information, still showed secure boot disabled. So eventually found a video explaining this so I didn't have the option to just toggle it on my motherboard's bios and ended up having to clear the installed keys for it to be disabled, after which reinstalling the default keys and enabling it. Now I have this error and the annoying part of it is all sources leads to having an external drive plugged in and the error coming from there. So my specs:Asu

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

    So Linux is switching to secure boot also? Or they have to because of UEFI?

    Here is a statement from a Kernal Developer at Red Hat:

    I'm not sure this exploits the legacy BIOS but rather it exploits the legacy boot method on MBR drives, injecting a signed key before the OS boots, which you are correct in that it has nothing to do with Windows 8. And the simplest fix would just be to require boot drives use GPT when Secure Boot is enabled in UEFI.
