calamares focal install to sony vaio - failure to boot

[Chris Guiver]

QA-test install of Lubuntu focal.4 daily on
- sony vaio svp112a1cw (i5-9400u, 4gb, intel haswell-ULT)
testcase: full disk, encryption, internet, uEFI

NOTE: I didn't check SECURE-uEFI setting on device; so it was incorrectly set to SECURE

** expected result

on reboot perform checks & record successful test (hopefully realize I had SECURE setting wrong too!)

** actual result

on reboot

"SECURE BOOT FAILED ; your VAIO has detected an invalid operating system"

and various options such as go into BIOS/uEFI settings, reboot etc...

----

The installed was re-attempted; same conditions however this time I ran `ubuntu-bug calamares` before reboot. This second attempt resulted in identical failure.

NOTE: My intention was NOT SECURE-uEFI but I must have failed to switch Secure-boot OFF.. I think the last install attempted was Ubuntu ISO (exploration of bug 1960226) but it was a successful install (alas with the wrong ISO thus why install worked)

repeated install attempt using

`sudo -E calamares -d`

(my intention anyway; not a fan of this device)

[Chris Guiver (guiverc)]

install attempt #3 in comment #3 failed like others

SECURE BOOT FAILED
Your VAIO has detected an invalid operating system.
The following option(s) may resolve this error

- RESTART
- Start BIOS setup
- Start troubleshooting (recovery)

Also tested daily Focal.4 12-02-2022 on two boxes with UEFI+secure boot enabled and no errors encountered and unable to reproduce the failure - boxes tested were:

1. Lenovo V14IIL
2. Dell latitude 7280

another QA-test install to
- sony vaio svp112a1cw (i5-9400u, 4gb, intel haswell-ULT)

later daily/ISO, no-encryption used & failure again..

when I have time, I may use the box to explore documenting a 'fail to boot after install' page on discourse,

but for now I may just switch SECURE-uEFI off (which it was supposed to be for my actual checklist-testcase!)

either way; as I said in #lubuntu-devel

<guiverc> xubuntu (focal.4) installed... I got a blue background MOK screen I don't normally get on first boot.. (I mostly use uEFI not SECURE-uEFI on this box) I accepted default.. didn't appear subsequent boot(s)

though I recorded test in jammy section?? (http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/429/builds/244330/testcases/1300/results/) so maybe i made a mistake??

NOTE: My Xubuntu thumb-drive contains 20.04 (ISO 2022-02-13) so I think I made the mistake on the iso.qa.ubuntu.com tracker & reported it against jammy where it should have been focal
so xubuntu. 20.04.4 (daily) installed in this state on this box I'm pretty sure.

Seems interesting enough, can you still reproduce this in Noble?
