I'm not sure the log messages are related to the laptop failing to boot. Let's make this bug just about the laptop failing to boot.
In theory those log messages were bug 1798863, but you already have the fix for that installed. ** Summary changed: - PKCS#7 signature not signed with a trusted key + With nvidia-340 driver installed it won't boot to SDDM ** Also affects: sddm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1806817 Title: With nvidia-340 driver installed it won't boot to SDDM Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in nvidia-prime package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in sddm package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: It's hard to report this bug on a laptop with this driver installed, so I'm reporting this with on my laptop with a much newer NVIDIA driver (but not recommended). My laptop, Lenovo Z40, has NVIDIA GeForce GT820M. With nvidia-340 driver installed it won't boot to SDDM (also tried with LightDM). Opening up another TTY is useless because the same message "PKCS#7 signature not signed with a trusted key" keeps getting spammed. I had to go to recovery to switch to Intel graphics.
