This bug was about shim printing a warning about booting in insecure mode
when SecureBoot was not enabled in your firmware.  That is not why you are
seeing this message.  You are seeing this message because *you have
configured your system to boot in insecure mode*, overriding SecureBoot in
MOK, which is a prerequisite for newer kernels to load unsigned modules
(such as the nvidia driver).

If you are seeing this message on boot, *and* the nvidia driver is not
loading for you, then there is a bug somewhere other than shim and you
should file a new bug report about this.
