Hello Patrick,
It's not a bug! Actually, most of the laptops that come preinstalled with
Windows 8/8.1 come with secure boot. It's just a feature that is used to verify
the signature on Windows Bootloader!
Secure Boot is not meant to verify signature of Linux bootloader (GRUB) and I'm
not sure if it comes with any!
So, it's a Windows 8/8.1 only feature and you will have to disable it if you
want to run fedora or some other OS! Please, don't go by its name. Disabling
Secure boot will only allow other bootloaders to work and won't compromise on
any form of security!
Net Verdict - It's a 100% secure and a recommended must to disable Secure Boot
in order to boot any NON Windows 8/8.1 OS.
Cheers,

Subject: stock f20 bootloader not signed
Hi all,
I just did a fresh f20 install in UEFI mode (no CSM) with secure boot enabled
and while it booted the USB stick fine after the initial reboot I get an error
about the bootloader not being signed and have to disable secure boot in order
to boot the machine. I did a search on Bugzilla for the error message and
didn't find anything. Has anyone encountered this error before?
The machine is a HP Zbook 17 with the latest firmware (BIOS) update installed.
Cheers
