[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1560764] Re: "fails to request state" when trying to perform actions in mokutil

2016-03-24 Thread Launchpad Bug Tracker 
This bug was fixed in the package mokutil - 0.3.0-0ubuntu1

---
mokutil (0.3.0-0ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version.
- Now uses efivar which supports immutable attributes (LP: #1560764)
  * B-D on libefivar-dev, dh-autoreconf
  * debian/rules: use autoreconf
  * Backport cdb4b6f3 from upstream to fix i386 builds.

  "fails to request state" when trying to perform actions in mokutil

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in mokutil package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Recently it's been observed that mokutil is unable to make changes to
  the various Mok* variables.  It complains that  "fails to request
  state" when trying most actions or similar errors.

  The root of these problems is because the variables have been set as 
immutable after this kernel commit:
  
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879

  In many instances mokutil 0.2 will delete the variable and recreate
  it, so changing it with chattr isn't a workable solution as the kernel
  will just recreate it with the immutable attribute and it will fail
  over again.

I have a linux task included because this can also be approached from a
kernel perspective (https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/3/22/733).

** Description changed:

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1560764] Re: "fails to request state" when trying to perform actions in mokutil

2016-03-22 Thread Mario Limonciello 
Alternatively it seems that this might be fixed by moving to mokutil
0.3.  Mokutil 0.3 has switched over to use libefivar
(https://github.com/lcp/mokutil/commit/7b49e834284659527c9f7cf554f223748c00564b).
libefivar has handling for immutable variables since version 0.22
(https://github.com/rhinstaller/efivar/commit/df78c364a1d362655f5495e781b647553b5ae144).
