shim has an EFI variable to control its verbosity, you can set it to output all the gory details with e.g. `mokutil --set-verbosity true`, and on a glance there are some tools on Windows too to modify EFI vars
- rwmj 2y agoWhy wouldn't that be the default?
- wongarsu 2y agoBecause most users are afraid of gory details. And the people who know enough to fix it are expected to somehow know how to turn on logging. It's the modern equivalent of "please contact your administrator"
- rwmj 2y agoThe first thing the "administrator" will need is all the details. If they were printed, the person reporting could at least send a screenshot or similar.
