Hello again,

I verified my Qubes iso and created the boot iso USB as documented.

Then I changed the target machine virtualization, and boot order to USB first - that works ok as I first tested a known usb boot to ubuntu.

When I boot to my usb for Qubes I get : 

Secure Boot Violation

“Invalid signature detected. Check Secure Boot Policy in Setup.


Any help?


Thank you,

Patrick

You will have to turn secure boot off in your BIOS.

Congrats! If you wish to employ some boot-time security, you can install
Qubes' anti-evil-maid feature which detects tampering.

Ok that sounds good, I'll check it out.

Depending on the firmware, there might be a way to install your own secureboot trusted root key. Or you could use a bootloader signed with one of Microsoft keys, such as grub2 with shim.

In fact, it might be a good idea to have antievilmaid additionally signed with s secureboot key. This would not increase security beyond what AEM does (esp. if you can seal keys), but it should simplify installation.

It would help a lot of new starters.

I'm having to dual boot while I get Qubes 'working' how I want (mostly Windows related gaps), and having to toggle Secure Boot to switch OS is a pain ;)
