Hello everyone…I’m getting these integrity and confit errors during startup. Nothing seems broken. Does anyone know a fix or should i just ignore? Thanks!
Did a search for ubuntu “integrity: problem loading x.509 certificate” and the first result indicates out of date bios certificates needed for secure boot on older laptops. Disabling secure boot seems to be the suggested fix.
You might check your BIOS clock time too, if the certs are ‘expired’, it might be the future, or more likely, the past. Certs have validity timers that specify start and end.
It’s more likely that your BIOS is just old, and you’ll have to keep secure boot disabled from now on.
As far as I know, other distributions just don’t show these errors, but Ubuntu choose to show them.
Most of them are just due too a BIOS implementation that is not entirely up to standards, from what I understand. It seems some manufacturers have chosen to make their system easier to use with Windows instead of strictly enforcing standards.
I just ignore the errors. As long as everything works properly, I feel fine with that.
yup. and it’s usually on laptops that run less standard bios setups that aren’t easily flashed anyway
Kernel boot logs aren’t well disciplined to be careful about what is an error or not. Sometimes it’s just checking for the existence of hardware and reports the error it gets if it doesn’t exist.
If things are working I wouldn’t worry.
The amd_gpio line is a bug to ignore, the message has the wrong priority and should only be written to the log file.
It’s a thing with certain laptops, where their secure boot certs are outdated or something. Not really anything you can do to fix, but it doesnt mean anything in practice - I never had issues with it after running linux across multiple distros about a year on my Acer nitro 5.
only thing you might have issues with is using secure boot in certain distros but if you don’t have problems then no need to worry
Thanks for your reply! That goes for both the errors?
the gpio one could also just be the BIOS being whacky. I think I have the same one show up on my Acer laptop and I’ve never had an issue.
The gpio one was fixed with the last update :)
Mmmm, confit errors 😋🍽️
