There have been stories about this kind of certificate expiration before that turned out to be nothingburgers, incluing almost a year ago (https://lwn.net/Articles/1029767/ https://lwn.net/Articles/1029767/). Mint has already fixed the issue for me; my one boot key shows as being issued by Canonical and not expiring until 2042. The forums are full of people suggesting to disable secure boot at installation anyway; I didn't even know about it at the time I installed, and never had a problem.
For that matter, there are people successfully running new Linux on machines older than the expiring keys.
Incidentally, `mokutil --sb-state` (and `--list-enrolled`) doesn't require root, at least on my system.
- Bender 4mo agoIt would be great if it turns out to be a nothingburger. Y2K was mostly a nothingburger. Of course if that is the case then secure boot need not even exist. Let's push to get rid of it along with any other cruft in the BIOS and OS. Updated to mention this may be a nothing-burger and removed sudo. Thank-you!
