Bug#1115477: mokutil --generate-hash should work on systems without EFI variables
Package: mokutil
Version: 0.7.2-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: val@markovic.io
Dear Maintainer,
Running `mokutil --generate-hash` on a system that wasn't booted in UEFI mode
results in "EFI variables are not supported on this system". This seems
needlessly restrictive. I'm trying to set up Debian installation automation from
a host that is booted in Legacy BIOS mode and it sure would be nice to call
`mokutil --generate-hash` to help write these installation scripts. :)
Thank you for working on mokutil!
