[Bug 1928434] Re: shim-signed does not boot on EFI 2.40 by Apple

 

This bug was fixed in the package shim-signed - 1.48

---------------
shim-signed (1.48) impish; urgency=medium

  [ Dimitri John Ledkov ]
  * Ship externally signed shims in the source package, instead of
    detached signatures.

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * Restore build-time 'cmp' check to assert that the output of sbattach
    matches the binary received from Microsoft.
  * Include external-$arch.p7c in the clean target.

  [ Julian Andres Klode ]
  * download-signed: Work around non-HTTP apt sources
  * Update to shim 15.4-0ubuntu5:
    - Stop addending vendor dbx to MokListXRT during MokListX mirroring. This
      is causing systems to run out of EFI storage space, or just hang up
      when trying to write it (LP: #1924605) (LP: #1928434)
    - Further relax the check for variable mirroring on non-secureboot systems
      avoiding boot failures on out of space conditons (pull request #372)
    - Don't unhook ExitBootServices() when EBS protection is disabled
      (LP: #1931136) (pull request #378)

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Booting MacBook is broken

  [Test plan]
  We don't have a test plan per se to verify this bug, but the shim fix has been tested. Hard to verify those bugs :(

  [Where problems could occur]
  We disable mirroring of vendor dbx into MokListXRT EFI variable, so mokutil is not able to read the vendor dbx anymore. Other things might not be able to do so either; we don't believe we've been using it so far, though.

  [Original bug report]
  Hi,

  I have a MacBookPro14,3. After upgrade to Ubuntu 21.04 it failed to boot.
  At first I thought I'm affected by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim/+bug/1925010.

  But my MacBook has newer efi Version and the fixed version of shim-
  signed is not solving my issues.

  >sudo dmesg | grep EFI
  [    0.000000] efi: EFI v2.40 by Apple
  [    0.011978] ACPI: UEFI 0x000000007AF7D000 000042 (v01 INTEL  EDK2     00000002      01000013)
  [    0.012029] ACPI: Reserving UEFI table memory at [mem 0x7af7d000-0x7af7d041]
  [    0.411423] fb0: EFI VGA frame buffer device
  [    0.418914] EFI Variables Facility v0.08 2004-May-17
  [    2.696996] fb0: switching to amdgpudrmfb from EFI VGA

  I reinstalled Ubuntu 21.04 from scratch and updated all packages during installation.
  The reboot failed. I hear the apple start sound and then an endless repeating echo.
  I've chrooted inside my system and verified that shim-signed 1.47+15.4-0ubuntu2 is installed.

  The suggested workaround from the other bug works (I can normally boot afterwards):
  /boot/efi/EFI# cp -b ubuntu/grubx64.efi ubuntu/shimx64.efi
  /boot/efi/EFI# cp -b ubuntu/grubx64.efi BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI

  "sudo apt reinstall shim-signed" reliable breaks my macbook again.

  Is there anything I can do to help solving this issue? What do you
  need?
