Bug Description
The Ubuntu kernel team is working on a kernel 5.18 for Ubuntu 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu) and has builds ready for early testing of the secure boot and lockdown functionality.
Before this kernel will be moved to the official archive, tests are needed from IBM for ppc64el.
The kernel has been uploaded to ppa:canonical-
https:/
The PPA key used for signing can be found here:

(Please, notice that this kernel is coming from the canonical-kernel team PPA, and is not signed with the regular archive/release key, but instead with the above PPA signing key).

Do we have any news for this? At the moment this is the only blocker to release a 5.18 kernel in Kinetic.
Moreover, in the meantime we've also made some progress with 5.19. In the same ppa (https:/ /launchpad. net/~canonical- kernel- team/+archive/ ubuntu/ unstable/) there's a new kernel called linux-unstable 5.19.0-4-generic, that would require the same secure boot test. We've already tested secure boot / lockdown with this new linux-unstable 5.19 kernel with positive results on amd64 and arm.
Ultimately the plan is to go with 5.19 in Kinetic, but since 5.19 is still an -rc kernel we would like to play safe and release a 5.18 first, then move to 5.19. That means we need to test secure boot with both of them...
Let me know if there's any problem with this or if there's anything we can do to help. Thanks!
