Hello,

I just upgraded gnome from version 43. something to version 44.1.
Is that gnome 44? The update changed my available default Backgrounds. No other features appeared and now I am confused.

Checkout the new release presentation and have a better overview.

Try installing fwupd.
Reboot and see if that section will show up.

ah thanks,
I installed fwupd and then it changed. It at least shows something now.

Thank you - that solved the problem here too.

(I can see why Canonical was reluctant to include that panel although they relented with Ubuntu 23.04 - a lot of PCs will give those rather scary messages).

Imagine thinking in the current year that Secure Boot has anything to do with security and protection. HAHA!

as @Kresimir said… i do not understand what this new BUG feature … should help or show … if it only shows if secure boot or any TPM stuff is enabled or/and present ? it could … say that

Corrupt kernel :rofl:

If the average “home PC” doesn’t fail at HSI-1 (Secure Boot turned off) it will almost certainly fail at HSI-4 (encrypted RAM). A read around suggests that only newish server CPUs offer that.

that`s not a BUG thats my selfbuild kernel… indeed must be corrupted … by intent
