vboxdrv.sh asks user on Debian system to disable SecureBoot

Reported by: kieb Owned by:
Component: other Version: VirtualBox 6.1.32
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: Linux

Description

In setup() of vboxdrv.sh there is following code

    if test -n "$HAVE_SEC_BOOT" &&
        type update-secureboot-policy >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        SHIM_NOTRIGGER=y update-secureboot-policy --new-key
    fi

This leads to a prompt to disable SecureBoot. This is both unexpected and unwanted.

Happening on Debian 11

Hi kieb,

VirtualBox 6.1.40 and 7.0.0 should both have this issue fixed. Fix was applied to both host and guest startup scripts.
