There's a bit I don't understand:

"* Signature verification appears to be disabled, and cannot be enabled
again. It appeared to be enabled previously, as loading of unsigned
modules was failing, and `mokutil --enable-validation` runs without
incident; however, upon the next boot when attempting to confirm the
change, MokManager prints an error message "Unable to delete Secure Boot
state" after completing the password challenge."

Sure, there are other issues at play here, but every test I've done of
this has been working just fine, and at that point we're not actually
talking to the kernel at all. Could we be hitting an issue with the
firmware on this specific HP machine? Is this something you see on other
hardware (if you can test)? If you toggle validation in 18.04, do things
work then?

I wonder if you're hitting an issue here due to versioning of the
different EFI binaries; if you have 18.10 and 18.04 installed, I wonder
which version of shim and mokmanager are actually being used.

As for what happens at the kernel level, I don't know. If the MOK key is
available there (it certainly seemed to be), then I concur there would
have to be a bug in the keyring handling.
