Bug Description
The system won't boot in the secure mode. I am not so familiar with the technicalities of all the error lines I get. I am sorry! Is it in a way harmful not to use the secure mode?

We would still need to see these error messages to diagnose your problem.

It leaves your system susceptible to a certain class of malware that attacks your computer's firmware instead of your operating system. So Secure Boot is recommended where possible.
