| xu-irc80w | Hi. | 17:49 |
|---|---|---|
| xu-irc80w | I installed a package called ddcci-dkms which I need for another package called brightnessctl and when I installed this package I got a message from Synaptic about something called a machine owner key. | 17:49 |
| xu-irc80w | It said it will be getting changed and when I reboot my computer I will need to enter it otherwise some third-party devices will not work. I had to enter a new key, which I did, but when I rebooted the computer and some options came up against a blue background I just continued to boot because there were multiple options and I didn't know which one | 17:49 |
| xu-irc80w | to choose. | 17:49 |
| xu-irc80w | I wanted to read the popup message I got from Synaptic again to double-check what I needed to do, so I tried reinstalling the ddcci-dkms package but it didn't show the popup again and I tried removing the package completely and reinstalling it but once again the popup didn't show up. If I knew this would happen I would have copied the text to | 17:49 |
| xu-irc80w | Mousepad, or maybe I should have written it down before rebooting. | 17:49 |

| xu-irc80w | to enter a new key as part of the installation, which I did, but when I rebooted the computer and some options came up against a blue background I just continued to boot because there were multiple options and I didn't know which one to choose.

| xu-irc80w | right, I'm going to try rebooting again and 'enrolling' the MOK, I think that was probably what it wanted me to do. I'll join back here in case anyone answers. | 18:11 |
| xu-irc80w | oh, the options didn't appear this time. that's what I thought it might do. and my monitor still doesn't appear in brightnessctl, that's what I needed that additional package for. great. | 18:14 |
| xu-irc80w | oh, I think I found an answer https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=345767 | 18:24 |
| xu-irc80w | sudo update-secureboot-policy --enroll-key brings up that same message except in the Terminal | 18:25 |
| xu-irc80w | only it seems to be resetting it from the beginning instead of asking for the key I already entered. I hope that works. | 18:26 |
| xu-irc80w | will restart again and come back | 18:27 |
| xu-irc80w | well, that didn't help the brightness program. maybe I should give up | 18:29 |
| xu-irc80w | oh yeah, for correctness, I think it said 'devices that require third-party drivers', not 'third-party devices' | 18:30 |
