Bazzite installation and grub error messages
Hello everyone,
I just finshed installing bazzite onto my m.2 hard drive and after rebooting system and taking out the usb. I click on "Bazzite (ostree: 0)" and get this error message
Pressing enter brings me back to previous page
I'm noob to this kinda stuff so much help would be appreciated thanks

is secure boot enabled in bios?
if yes you need to disable it first
it almost certainly is
How?
other OS may work
if not
it'sably iiiiiiiiiiii management
Do I need to go back to windows 10 and disable secure boot since it's the original os on it?
well i'm assuming you can select "Other OS" and then disable secure boot that way, but i've never had to interact with that kind of bios options before so take this with a grain of salt
no secoot is a feature of the firmware itself
i have seen this
at school
Let me try other os and see what happens
was ASUS firmware
i'm paranoid so if i were in your shoes i'd rather do this
1. shut down
2. physically remove windows drive
3. boot to bios & change setting to other os -> disable secure boot
4. boot into bazzite & register keys for secure boot
5. boot into bios & enable secure boot again
6. make sure bazzite boots with secure boot enabled
7. shut down & physically plug windows drive
oh then just listen to nagito, dont listen to me lol
idk if grub will like my approach
Windows 10 is on my ssd and it's currently disconnected by power connector to prevent corruption but found another menu in key management if it helps. I did select other os and saved settings then rebooted but secured boot still enabled
i ve seen on youtube that on my school PCs deleting the keys disables secure boot
though this probably isn't the best way to do it since we actually want/need secure boot
look here
oh nope
i was thinking something else
All good
what happens if you save all secure boot variables
i think it prompts you where to put the file
so you could load them later
Don't know but I found this video and he says to clear secure boot keys to disable secure boot and he also mentions that you can get it back by default from the video

Disabiling ASUS Bios Secure Boot
When installing drivers in Linux, you may encounter an error that the ERROR: could not insert 'drivername': Required key not available.
One way to resolve this is to disable SecureBoot in your BIOS. This video shows how to do that on one particular ASUS BIOS version.
This website shows several other variations: http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bo...
Should I try this?
i don't like the idea clearing keys to disable it
but you may be able to reset the BIOS to default settings to get the old keys back
but clearing them may reakky be the only way
I think so too
So should I save first then delete?
save first is probably a good idea
Alright
This window pops up, which one do I click?
those are partitions your bios can see
Ah so which one do I save?
if you had a FAT32 formatted flash drive it would show up here
I do
It has bazzite instalation files on it
this is asking you where to put the backup
I see, so either option fine
there should be a n EFI > Microsoft folder on one of them
if there is
that's your internal drive
Prob can't see it since ssd is disconnected
selecting one should show you the files on there
Selected each one and got the same save message
So now I can select clear secure boot keys?
oh
yeah try i guess
Alright
Secured boot is now disabled
I'll save setting and reboot and see what errors I get to bazzite
Looks like it did the trick
should work now
aaaand it does
:CVRchanHype:
Since it's working now, I have one final question?
Is possible to set up duel boot if windows 10 is ssd and bazzite on m.2?
yeah why not
Alright, so I'll just follow a youtube video for setting up dual booting than I'm good?
bazzite should have one in the docs
Alright, I'll check it out. Thanks for the help, much appreciated :CVRchanThumbsup:
i'm curios where the BIOS put the backup files exactly
one of the copies you made is on the bazzite drive
from bazzite it's somewhere in
/boot/efiIt shows it here and I got both windows and bazzite working and I can switch between them if needed
oh yeah the files are right there
PK db dbx KEK
not entirely sure how you'd load them back though
