Title:
"fails to request state" when trying to perform actions in mokutil
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Status in mokutil package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Recently it's been observed that mokutil is unable to make changes to
the various Mok* variables. It complains that "fails to request
state" when trying most actions or similar errors.
The root of these problems is because the variables have been set as
immutable after this kernel commit:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879
In many instances mokutil 0.2 will delete the variable and recreate
it, so changing it with chattr isn't a workable solution as the kernel
will just recreate it with the immutable attribute and it will fail
over again.
