It appears you have dkms modules installed and it was determined that you needed to be prompted to register a MOK in your firmware, but because the gnome session crashed, taking the upgrader frontend with it, you could not be prompted, leading to this error. This does look like a bug in shim-signed, though. The intent of this code is that we should only error out if there are *added* dkms modules and we don't have a MOK. In this case, there are only *removed* modules. So it should not be considered an error, but the code doesn't actually distinguish between additions and removals. To work around this failure, you should run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' from a terminal to follow the prompts and fully enroll a MOK. ** Changed in: shim-signed (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: shim-signed (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Summary changed: - package shim-signed 1.37~18.04.2+15+1533136590.3beb971-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: installed shim-signed package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 + update-secureboot-policy doesn't actually know the difference between added and removed modules when diffing (package shim-signed 1.37~18.04.2+15+1533136590.3beb971-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: installed shim-signed package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1800274 Title: update-secureboot-policy doesn't actually know the difference between added and removed modules when diffing (package shim-signed 1.37~18.04.2+15+1533136590.3beb971-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: installed shim-signed package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim-signed/+bug/1800274/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
