Public bug reported: On my machine, none of the tools bundled in efitools (in /usr/share/efitools/efi/) work at all. They all freeze with no output whatsoever.
I am working with an ASRock E3V5 WS motherboard with BIOS version 7.10 (the latest). This BIOS is based off of an AMI BIOS. I have tried launching the tools (primarily KeyTool) both as \EFI\BOOT\bootx64.efi on a FAT-formatted flash drive and indirectly via the EFI shell (launched from the same flash drive). I have tried the files from Ubuntu 16.04, version "1.7.0.3.g791e463-1" from Arch Linux, as well as the 2013 version from http://blog.hansenpartnership.com/wp- uploads/2013/KeyTool.efi, and none of them work. However, I am able to launch the EFI shell using the binary from EDK2 as well as booting Ubuntu 16.04 via the EFI stub, so the platform's UEFI functionality is at least somewhat working. In addition, a separate issue (should I open a new bug?) is that efi- updatevar seems to not work on a variety of platforms (e.g. http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/controlling-sb.html#linux, https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Sakaki's_EFI_Install_Guide/Configuring_Secure_Boot) and instead gives "Cannot write to <var>, wrong filesystem permissions," which is what prompted the attempt to use KeyTool in the first place. Let me know if I can provide more information about this bug. ** Affects: efitools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1663849 Title: None of the efitools tools work on my machine To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/efitools/+bug/1663849/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
