Reminds me of that time I updated my UEFI firmware which automatically re-enabled secure boot which caused my Nvidia driver to fail to load on boot because Nvidia doesn’t sign them so I was stuck with the noveau(spelling?) driver which would crash when I tried to log into my DE. What an adventure figuring that out was. Oh, and the cherry on top: updating the firmware didn’t fix the initial issue I was troubleshooting.

Ugh, I just went through the same thing last week. Let’s just say that checking if secure boot had been turned back on was NOT one of the first 500 things that came to mind during troubleshooting.

Exactly. I was about to rip my hair out before I thought to check my UEFI settings.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
