Footnotes[edit]
- ↑
This is unspecific to Kicksecure. This is because during package installation of a package that requires kernel modules when "SecureBoot" is enabled, Ubuntu's
dkms
is prompting the user for a password to encrypt the key which will be used to enroll the kernel module signing key. This is Ubuntu usability issue. It is unknown if any bug report / feature request for this exists. Please contribute, research, report this issue on Ubuntu's issue tracker.

We believe security software like Kicksecure needs to remain Open Source and independent. Would you help sustain and grow the project? Learn more about our 12 year success story and maybe DONATE!
