Package: efitools
Version: 1.9.2-3.5
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian.org@schildbach.de
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Want to enroll my own secure boot key to my Lenovo ThinkPad X280 (BIOS 1.57 from April 2025).
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Tried various ways to boot KeyTool.efi from the UEFI Setup: adding it via efibootmgr, preparing a GPT/EFI-bootable USB stick.
* What was the outcome of this action?
KeyTool.efi launching for 2-3 seconds with random garbage characters, then the computer rebooting
* What outcome did you expect instead?
KeyTool UI to show up as documented in the various guides.
