Hello beautiful people,
Has anybody found an easy solution to deal with a failed Secure Boot because Fedora was installed by using a Live USB?
Fedora, installed with the fedora install ISO, should never fail to boot with secure boot enabled.
Fedora has been able to boot with secure boot for several years.
Please describe in detail what you are seeing and why you believe it is related to secure boot.
That’s what bothering me. If I turn on the secure boot on my BIOS settings, I can see secure boot failed. Why is tat I don’t have a clue.
Can’t believe that there is anything wrong with the install as everything works. Do note that I have stopped using disk encryption because it was failing to decrypt the disk.
The TPM is installed and it works, my system works and I never had any issues.
Where do you see that?
What messages are given?
The appropriate detailed entries from either sudo dmesg or journalctl -b -N (where N is the number of the boot where it failed) would be nice. You would need to select and post only the appropriate portions of those logs.
On start when Sec Boot is enabled it says SECURE BOOT FAILED and then i have to turn it off to log-in.
[ 0.000000] e820: remove [mem 0xff000000-0xffffffff] reserved
[ 0.000000] secureboot: Secure boot disabled
[ 0.000000] SMBIOS 3.3.0 present.
Please provide the detailed info (in a photo if necessary)
It also will be of great help if you were to open the grub boot menu during startup and edit the kernel commands to remove the rhgb quiet from the line beginning with linux.
Access from the grub menu is by pressing e while the grub menu is displayed. The menu can be displayed by holding shift immediately after the bios splash screen.
Then the text displayed on screen may provide details.
Is the issue that the system seems to boot but the login screen is not displayed?
If so then it may be a gpu driver that is the issue. Are you using an nvidia gpu?
If it boots to a black screen you may be able to log in by pressing ctrl-alt-F3 and log in to a text screen so we might get more info.
Info related to nvidia can be gotten with `sudo dmesg | grep -iE “nvidia|nouveau|secure”
The nvidia drivers will not load when secure boot is enabled unless you have followed the steps in the file /usr/share/doc/akmods/README.secureboot to enroll the signing key into the bios
I will post a photo and remove rhgb quiet when I get a chance, as I am busy today.
No, the Secure Boot fails and I can’t proceed until I go to the BIOS and turn it of.
Hi beauties,
What to do when I have Secure Boot enabled but it fails ?
Hi welcome!
How exactly does it fail, what error messages does it show you if any? I don’t personally know that much about secure boot so hopefully someone else can help but it may be a good idea to turn off secure boot, do updates, then try turning it on again.
This is not helpful.
Details of the problem that describe exactly what is happening are required so we have some idea of the situation. Without details we cannot guess what you actually are seeing.

Does it work if you go into your BIOS setting and disable secure boot?
This thread seems a duplicate of Secure Boot
Please only use one thread for an issue so the discussion is only in one place.
I will merge and close the other thread.

YES, that’s the funny part.
Do you by any chance have an nvidia gpu?
what model is your computer?
Yes, I have nvidia gpu running. Model in terms of what?
I mean what is the name of your computer? For example mine is a thinkpad T520.
For your nvidia gpu, have you installed drivers or are you using what came with fedora?
My laptop is Acer Aspire A515-47 and I am using those that cam with Fedora.
