Successfully achieved an install of LL4.2 UEFItestbuild on a Lenovo G580 i3-3110M.
Running updates, following the install went fine, after first carrying out the /etc/apt fix, outlined by Jerry in #135. This is the first time I try any version of the LL4 series - it looks great - very well done & many thanks to Jerry & The Team 8)
Just one question: What about signing for Secure Boot?
During the initial install, I chose not to download updates / firmware at the same time. By choosing this option, i.e. install general updates & firmware updates after installation, I noticed that the Secure Boot signing option was greyed out. Unsure here, about this signing procedure and how to do it. I've understood that if it's not done at least some software may not work - is that correct?
Your feedback is much appreciated, as ever
