[12.3 64Bit KDE]-Boot Failure After Update Today? HELP!!!

Hi,

I am running openSUSE 12.3 64Bit KDE fully updated.

Everything was perfect until I updated today and rebooted.
Now I can’t boot into the Operating System?

When I turn on computer I get a strange menu
called: “Shim UEFI key management” ???

What do I do now? Please help me fix this booting issue.
Thanks!

Jesse

Disable secure-boot in your BIOS, and it will probably boot.

Then post a bug report. There was probably something broken in the grub2-efi update.

Hmm, I shall apply that soon and see if it works for me.

Hi,

Thanks for the help!
Disabling “Secure Boot” in UEFI BIOS makes it boot again.

How do I fix it so that “Secure Boot” booting works again?
Thanks!

I’m glad you can at least get back in.

I tried the patch. For various reasons, I can still boot in secure boot mode, but not the way I should. So I am also seeing the problems.

Start Yast. Go to Software Management.

In the “search” box, enter “grub2-efi”, and click search.

Then click the “Versions” button near the bottom of the screen. You should see that you are using version 2.00-19.13.1 from the update repo.

There should be another older version listed (2.00-19.5.2). Select that. Make sure you select the correct architecture (almost certainly 64 bit).

Then accept. This should backout the latest update for grub2-efi, and take you back to the previous version.

Thanks for posting about this and the bug submission. I just did an update of my laptop and now can’t EFI boot 12.3. Grrrrrrr! Not what I’d expected from a stable release update.

Sigh… I’ll try turning off SecureBoot and rolling back to grub2-efi version 2.00-19.5.2 as suggested by nrickert.
