    @Tom-Elliott
    Hi Tom,
    We’re on school holidays in Austria at the moment – I’m not at school right now. At the end of August, I’ll have to install the new image on all the pupils’ PCs. Once that’s done, I’ll be able to start trying things out again. Have a lovely summer, Alexander

    @Tom-Elliott I really appreciate that you are putting effort into providing more frequent releases, which makes it easier for everyone to deploy new security fixes in time. Keep up the good work!

    @jmeyer Good work. So far looks very similar to what I was doing above but with grub instead. I’m guessing you’re aiming for something along the lines of the archived project you mentioned earlier that did this. Make sure you modify your ipxe scripts to load the shim with the shim command, and then sign whatever you’re booting from ipxe and you should be more or less there.

    It’s worth noting if you want you should be able to skip the grub stage entirely, if you load the shim directly and name your ipxe binary what you’re grub binary currently is you should be able to net boot any shim pretty easily, from there the shim can automatically call mok manager as long as it’s in the same directory as your shim.

    Sorry for responding so late. I’m out on training this week.

    @Valer Thanks for the report and the writeup, that’s a good catch. You’re right about the cause. Debian 13 dropped the sysv-rc-conf package since it’s fully on systemd now, so the installer chokes trying to apt-get it. We never actually use that tool on a systemd system anyway, it only ever got called on the old non-systemd paths, so it was just dead weight on Trixie.

    I pushed a fix to working-1.6. It leaves the package off the list on Debian 13 and up, and it also strips it out of a cached .fogsettings so an in-place upgrade doesn’t drag it back in. Older Debian keeps installing it like before so nothing changes there.

    If you want to get moving before you pull the update, you can either grab the latest working-1.6 and rerun the installer, or just open /opt/fog/.fogsettings and delete sysv-rc-conf from the packages line, then run the installer again. Either one gets you past it.

    Let me know if you hit anything else on Trixie.
