What's the type of the partition mounted at /boot/efi

#

Because secure boot is a bitch so is sbctl

Partition type, not filesystem type

#

it should be listed on fdisk -l

hushed smelt Oct 23, 2024, 1:09 PM

#

sacred pebbleBOT Oct 23, 2024, 1:11 PM

#

I'm currently checking for safer options

hushed smelt Oct 23, 2024, 1:11 PM

#

oh cool thanks

#

i installed endovour os

sacred pebbleBOT Oct 23, 2024, 1:12 PM

#

You could invoke sbctl with
SYSTEMD_ESP_PATH=/boot/efi sbctl verify

hushed smelt Oct 23, 2024, 1:12 PM

#

this is a one command?

sacred pebbleBOT Oct 23, 2024, 1:13 PM

#

Yes

#

this manual page is so annoying

https://man.archlinux.org/man/sbctl.8

hushed smelt Oct 23, 2024, 1:14 PM

#

i have to sudo right?

sacred pebbleBOT Oct 23, 2024, 1:14 PM

#

you have to do sudo -i and run this one command as root

#

because sudo overrides environment variables

hushed smelt Oct 23, 2024, 1:15 PM

[root@crazy-OS ~]# SYSTEMD_ESP_PATH=/boot/efi sbctl verify
Verifying file database and EFI images in /boot/efi...

#

got this

sacred pebbleBOT Oct 23, 2024, 1:16 PM

#

Okay

hushed smelt Oct 23, 2024, 1:16 PM

#

now i put normal commands or do i have to mention like u did

sacred pebbleBOT Oct 23, 2024, 1:16 PM

#

you can just put SYSTEMD_ESP_PATH=/boot/efi on its own line

#

And you won't have to repeat it again

hushed smelt Oct 23, 2024, 1:18 PM

#

wait actually i dont know how to go on from this step

#

i used cachyOS before

#

it had a scipt

#

can u guide me a bit

sacred pebbleBOT Oct 23, 2024, 1:18 PM

#

That script could be in the arch repo

#

I suck at this as I don't use secure boot :p

hushed smelt Oct 23, 2024, 1:19 PM

#

ah

#

thanks a lot tho

#

helped me a lot

sacred pebbleBOT Oct 23, 2024, 1:19 PM

#

Yw

#

You'll need to enroll keys

#

But that's kinda dangerous especially for certain machines

#

Has the risk of bricking your machine
