#53 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Help with signing nvidia's driver with secure boot enabled » 2025-07-12 05:44:04
looks like there might be timing issues with _some_ distros
quoting from:
https://benleskey.com/blog/opensuse#nvidia
snippet:
The biggest problem with the NVIDIA drivers is updating them. With UEFI secure boot enabled, each time the drivers were upgraded I had to enroll their keys at boot time. If I missed the 10 second window (and you only get one chance, even after rebooting), the graphical environment couldn't come up and I had to recover manually by running sudo mokutil --import /usr/share/nvidia-pubkeys/whatever-nvidia-pubkey.der from the recovery environment. You can also disable kernel module verification by running sudo mokutil --disable-validation. This will ask you to set up a small password and then disable the verification at next boot time (assuming you can remember the small password you set up).

did you try it in single-user?(just a casual guess)

since the OP seems unable to use simple code tags perhaps we might hypothesize we are interacting with ai/llm? how would we know? could we? really?
don't get me wrong, i understand. a dear one has dementia and no longer knows who they are/was/were. it is hard to relate unless/until it is personally experienced and so one must seek out others who have both experienced it and are willing to share and talk about it as well. life is short, love them long.

the marketshare loss is mostly due to the continuing increase in smartphone usage which ultimately drives users to the devices default/included browser which is _not_ firefox...sad but true.

Don Marti was editor-in-chief at Linux Journal once upon a time and his website is absolutely overflowing with very interesting intriguing thought-provoking stuff!
once on his main webpage find the "Start here" and/or the "About me" sections/sub-headings and have a go!
way down in the "Bonus links" area is a link to a long but must-read commentary regarding the sorry state of search:

generally speaking the linux kernel continues to grow in size partially because of new devices being added as time marches on:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/driver-model/index.html
so for example, devuan installed on an ssd could be moved between different machines as long as they were the same architecture

since you don't have the same issues when using a _livecd/dvd/usb_ (no tailscale)
you'll need to know what tailscale has done and that might depend on how you installed tailscale.
perhaps see this for possible clues:

also wasn't able to find "orbi32" at:

My repo and key setup is correct. Librewolf has somehow messed up their repo setup.
I removed arm64 from the Architecures section, but apt search is still showing only the arm64 version. I decided to ignore this and checked whether I could install librewolf via synaptic - nope, the arm64 version shown by synaptic is really the wrong architecture. Then I tried apt install librewolf - which worked. With the correct amd64 version. Synaptic now shows both versions, one unnamed version installed and the arm84 version as uninstalled.
Thanks @sunrat for their help that enabled me to circumvent the upstream repo mess. I should really report this to upstream but that would require me to create another account somewhere ... if anybody else stumbles over this error they'll find the solution here.
edited to add: This worked for me. Thanks to @rrq and all!

@rrq, more referencing librewolf, also just found this:
#66 Re: News & Announcements » Chrome based browsers and uBlock Origin » 2025-07-04 11:04:28
@rrq, reference your steps in reply number 22 and i have done all steps except "apt-get install librewolf"
now when do a package search for "librewolf" using synaptic it shows "librewolf:arm64" and also shows "Conflicts:librewolf" in the dependency/conflicts tab of the Properties subsection
version: daedalus
posting here in case others in the present/future see the same thing.
please advise. thanks!

regardless of what you do, when you do it, and/or how you do it.
do a fresh and complete backup and if it is at all important, have a backup backup.
it isn't a question of IF, it is a question of WHEN you will have some kind of problem(failure/fire/flood/theft/tornado/etc).
as always, ymmv.

the installation area of the readme seems particularly pertinent:
https://github.com/pftf/RPi3/blob/master/Readme.md#installation
Create an SD card (or USB drive if you plan to use USB Boot) in MBR mode with a single partition of type 0x0c (FAT32 LBA) or 0x0e (FAT16 LBA). Then format this partition to FAT32.
Note: Do not try to use GPT for the partition scheme or 0xef (EFI System Partition) for the type, as these are unsupported by the CPU-embedded bootloader.
