secure boot key enrolling questions

["Anil F Duggirala" <anilduggirala@fastmail.fm>]

hello everyone,

I am looking to install the Nvidia proprietary driver in my Debian 12 machine. This is a clean install on a Dell XPS 9550 laptop.

I have Secure boot enabled. The instructions say that I need to enroll an mok key (have no idea what that means).

Running the command: sudo mokutil --import /var/lib/dkms/mok.pub
Outputs: Failed to get file status, /var/lib/dkms/mok.pub

There is in fact no folder named dkms in my /var/lib directory.

I appreciate your help,

thank you,

Anil F
