Public bug reported:
[Impact]
Users choosing to install third-party drivers for their system at installation
time.
[Test case]
1) Start ubiquity install
2) On the prepare screen, pick "Install third-party drivers"
The install should automatically have the "Disable Secure Boot" checkbox
checked.
[Regression Potential]
Doing this will block the installer while users enter a password to use to
disable Secure Boot, or go uncheck the checkbox. Possible failure cases might
be crashes due to errors in mokutil or in the kernel handling of efi variables
which might have ubiquity crash. This happens early in the installer process,
before any changes are made to the system.
---
The default behavior in ubiquity when installing third-party drivers
should be to suggest disabling Secure Boot, as it may otherwise be
missed due to confusion. Third-party drivers of the type installed in
that option in ubiquity are typically dkms packages which will need
Secure Boot disabled in shim to work correctly.
