Boot stuck in UEFI after enrolling keys for drivers

[Gluttton]

Hello,

I faced the following problem.
After the fresh installation of Ubuntu, everything works well. But after I install some drivers (NVidia or VirtualBox) that require key enrolling I stuck on boot. See below detailed description.

Normal behavior:
1. Press the power button on Laptop.
2. Enter to Grub menu, select Ubuntu and continue.
3. See boot logo.
4. Successfully boot in Ubuntu.

Bad behavior:
1. Install drivers (for example VirtualBox via $ sudo apt-get install virtualbox).
2. Enter a password for Secure boot during installation.
3. Shut down the system.
4. Press the power button on Laptop.
5. Enter to Grub menu, select Ubuntu and continue.
6. See boot logo.
7. System stuck, only black screen and blinking white underscore cursor.

After some time I realized that to continue boot after step 7 I need the following.
8. Change console by Alt+Fn+F2.
9. Return to the original console by Alt+Fn+F1 (after that booting continues immediately).
10. Successfully boot in Ubuntu.

Issue occurrence: 100%.
Removing drivers (apt-get purge virtualbox) doesn't help.
Disabling of secure boot in BIOS doesn't help.

Expected behavior: To be able to boot successfully.
Actual result: Stuck on boot.

Environment:
$ lsb_release -rd

Please find dmesg attached.

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you for your bug report. Do you need to change VT or is pressing Esc to dismiss the plymouth screen enough? Could you try if starting without splash (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Plymouth#Toggling_to_Traditional_Text-based_Boot) workaround the issue?

[Gluttton (gluttton)]

Hello Sebastien,

> Do you need to change VT or is pressing Esc to dismiss the plymouth screen enough?
Yes, change VT is necessary, pressing Esc (or Fn+Esc) doesn't help. Moreover after pressing Esc trick with Alt+Fn+F2 Alt+Fn+F1 doesn't work too and I need to reboot. I checked it before and after disabling "splash".

> Could you try if starting without splash (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Plymouth#Toggling_to_Traditional_Text-based_Boot) workaround the issue?
I removed "splash" from /etc/default/grub and regenerated grub.cfg via sudo update-grub (according to the link). During the next boot I can see a difference (I see dmesg output in the display). Unfortunately, it doesn't help to solve the issue.

One difference: with disabled splash instead of black screen WITH blinking underlying cursor I see only a completely black screen WITHOUT any cursor.

I can't say for sure, but it seems that the issue happens not during plymouth, but during switch between plymouth and login screen.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thanks, it seems the issue is happening without plymouth then so it's probably the wrong component. I'm unsure what's the right place but I'm going to reassign to systemd which is probably closer from being right

> But after I install some drivers (NVidia

you appear to have 2 separate graphics cards:
[ 4.893710] nvidia 0000:30:00.0: enabling device (0006 -> 0007)
[ 6.034799] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] fb0: i915drmfb frame buffer device

my guess would be you're having problems with the kernel choosing the correct graphics device to use, and/or some problem with the driver not correctly updating the screen.

I also noticed this:
[ 5.535665] Lockdown: Xorg: raw io port access is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7
however you said disabling secure boot doesn't help, so that's probably not related.

Have you tried uninstalling the nvidia driver package to see if that is what's causing the problem?

> Return to the original console by Alt+Fn+F1

Just a note, since you're booting with vt.handoff=7 the active VT should be 7, i.e. Ctrl+Alt+F7

You might also want to try booting with all the possibly relevant params removed, i.e. remove 'quiet splash vt.handoff=7'

You could also try adding 'nomodeset' to the kernel boot params to see if that helps.

In any case, this certainly looks like a kernel issue, not systemd.

Hello Dan,

Thank you very much for your comments!

I played with graphics card settings and found out that when I use only Intel graphics everything works well and I can boot without stuck.

I performed the following steps.
1. Originally I used NVidia graphics via NVidia driver.
2. First I switched on Nouveau driver and it didn't help.
3. Then I switched again on NVidia recommended driver (nvidia-driver-460) and it didn't help.
4. Eventually I switched on Intel graphics via nvidia-settings (prime selection) and it helped.

Thanks!
