User reports a kernel taint message following updating to kernel 5.5.5. Has anything changed in kernel 5.5 that explains this?
This is the message they're seeing: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/kernel-tainted-after-running-updates/5487/4?u=chrismurphy My understanding of these messages is: 1. the proprietary nvidia driver is being loaded and used 2. since the module is not signed, the kernel is tainted But I'm not sure what else I can infer about kernel taint. Are all the other lockdowns still in place? Ideally the user would register a key using mokutil, and sign the module. But if they don't do that, they are still better off than if they disable UEFI Secure Boot to avoid getting the kernel taint message, correct?
