hi there,
can someone create an HowTo so as to set a ‘systemd-boot + secure boot + UKI + dracut’ system.
is it better to do it during the Eos system installation or after it?
ps: secure boot is optional
regards
The installer can do systemd-boot + dracut out of the box.
If you want to use a UKI-specifically, I would advise skipping the bootloader installation in the installer and installing your own setup.
That being said, if you don’t care about secure boot, is there a reason you want a UKI?
i said > secure boot is optional
in case it can cause some issues during the bootloader installation.
I would advise skipping the bootloader installation
why ? it’s complicated or not 100% operational?
Because otherwise you will either install grub or our systemd-boot automation.
You don’t want grub and our systemd-boot automation doesn’t produce a UKI.
So if you have a requirement for a UKI, you will need to remove it all anyway and then clean up.
Basically, if you want a UKI, you are going to have build your own hooks/automation to handle that.
ok nice, that is what i would wanted to read.
i have no specific requirements and i’m using sd-boot + dracut now.
i 'm just boring to see my kernel tainted.
and configure tools like UKI + secureBoot which will in the near future be as normal as Systemd / Systemd-boot / dracut…
Do you think you will soon include an option for a standard installation of UKI+Secure Boot?
regarding my current one I will proceed as you recommend (direction archlinux wiki)
regards
It is likely that we wouldn’t support it until Arch starts providing secure-boot support without the need to enroll your own keys.
the need to enroll your own keys
please tell me can we use an gpg key as secure-boot key ?
