[17:49] <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.

[18:11] <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.
[18:14] <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.
[18:24] <xu-irc80w> oh, I think I found an answer https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=345767
[18:25] <xu-irc80w> sudo update-secureboot-policy --enroll-key brings up that same message except in the Terminal
[18:26] <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.
[18:27] <xu-irc80w> will restart again and come back
[18:29] <xu-irc80w> well, that didn't help the brightness program. maybe I should give up
[18:30] <xu-irc80w> oh yeah, for correctness, I think it said 'devices that require third-party drivers', not 'third-party devices'
