Ubuntu does not backup with secure boot on

Post by JamesStir »

I have a Ubuntu workstation 22.04.3 LTS running and it wont backup unless secure boot is off. Doing research I need Veeam's Public key installing from http://repository.veeam.com/.private/rpm/ but unsure of what module I need to install can anyone assist in informing me which module I need to download and install.

Hello,

Try to do following steps:

- Instal Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (6.2.0-33-generic) in UEFI Secure Boot enabled.
- Do not set Secure Boot password during installation https://ibb.co/fvT0R2P
- After system boot, install dkms package with all its dependencies
- During installation of dkms it should prompt and ask you Secure Boot password https://ibb.co/KWSkMMw
- After setting password, reboot the system and enrol MOK, before system auto boots, just like in the User Guide (blue screens): https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agent ... tml?ver=60
- Once system booted install blksnap and veeam packages in order https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agent ... ver=60#deb

Hello,

Key is being generated by Ubuntu itself, after installing dkms package.
"To permit the use of third-party drivers, a new Machine-Owner Key (MOK) has been generated. This key now needs to be enrolled in your system's firmware."

You can see details with "mokutil --list-enrolled" command and see files under "/var/lib/shim-signed/mok/".
