EFI install fails on Fedora #104
Comments
Hello Thias! I'm am trying glim for the first time today after having looked at Ventoy and deciding the security risk made it not worth using for me. I ran into this issue. How about using the suggested solution that grub-install suggests?
So, I do:
I am a bit confused, are you stating that doing that will break secure boot on my currently-running Fedora system? Not a problem for me as I'm not using it, but of course you wouldn't want that to happen to anyone trying your software. Anyway, after the forced grub2-install I can either run the script again and say not to install for EFI or modify the script to skip the grub-install steps, then the script will finish and create the directories. Other issues I got around on my Fedora system: Probably execution permission is not allowed on USB drives, so instead of ./glim.sh I did bash glim.sh. Also, my system did not have grub2-efi-x64-modules installed, so I had to install that with dnf which was easy (thanks to your hint!). Thanks for your time making this tool! |

Happening since Fedora 34. The reason is somewhat valid: Users with secure boot enabled will be rendering their OS unbootable if they use
grub2-install
to reinstall their boot disk EFI files, as the signed efi files will get replaced with grub's unsigned ones.For my own usage, I have rebuilt Fedora 37 & 38 grub2 packages with the
0144-grub-install-disable-support-for-EFI-platforms.patch
