Public bug reported:
I just installed a nice fresh Ubuntu 16.04 on my Samsung Series 5
Laptop, and noted the new option in the install screens that required a
password to disable secure mode booting - I unsuspectingly choose that
option, as I wanted to install the 3rd party support options. So then on
reboot it takes me through my new secure boot password (random letters)
and hey presto I'm now booting insecurely... and get this 2 to 3 second
message telling me so (slowing down the boot process). Further research
showed me that all the OS needs is for Secure Booting to be turned off
in BIOS, so, erm... why didn't they just get the user to do that ahead
of time, or at least give a fulsome explanation for those who need to
dual-boot.
Anyway, my question: Now that I have this "Booting in insecure mode"
message in my boot process, how do I get rid of it. I have of course
tried reinstalling a number of times with Secure Boot in BIOS on and
off.
I have subsequently found out this is a SHIM issue, which is why I'm
posting this bug.
Your assistance would be very much appreciated.
