Canonical tells the distributor "Note: UEFI Secure Boot has an
option to
allow users to install their own key or disable Secure Boot. Leave
that option
enabled. We will confirm that is enabled as part of our Ubuntu
Certified
program."
Yes, that's true for Secure boot. But the
quote that started this thread was about Restricted Boot.
For ARM,
it's not likely Canonical will even be able to be pre-installed in
dual-boot
scenarios with Windows 8 on ARM so there's no conflict with
Microsoft's
otherwise onerous Restricted Boot requirement on ARM.
Why dual
boot? Is the whole point here not taking a device designed for Windows 8 and
putting Ubuntu on it. No need for dual boot.
If it is unlikely that someone
will put Ubuntu on a device designed for Windows 8, then the whole issue of
Restricted Boot is moot. But since Canonical and others are dealing with it and
complaining about what Microsoft is doing on ARM, I don't think they see that as
unlikely. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
