I have a linux task included because this can also be approached from a
kernel perspective (https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/3/22/733).

** Description changed:

  Recently it's been observed that mokutil is unable to make changes to
  the various Mok* variables.  It complains that  "fails to request state"
  when trying most actions or similar errors.
  
  The root of these problems is because the variables have been set as 
immutable after this kernel commit:
  
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879
  
- In many instances mokutil will delete the variable and recreate it, so
- changing it with chattr isn't a workable solution as the kernel will
+ In many instances mokutil 0.2 will delete the variable and recreate it,
+ so changing it with chattr isn't a workable solution as the kernel will
  just recreate it with the immutable attribute and it will fail over
  again.
- 
- I've submitted a kernel patch for this upstream:
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/3/22/733
- 
- I feel this should be backported in Ubuntu's kernel as well.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
