Hey, I have a question about installing proprietary Nvidia drivers on Linux Mint while keeping Secure Boot enabled. I'm not sure how to do this on Linux, so any guidance would be appreciated.
#Secure Boot - Proprietary Nvidia Drivers on Mint

You should just be able to select them in the driver manager

I know, but the issue I have is that if I turn Secure Boot on, it reverts back to the open-source driver, even though the Driver Manager panel in Linux Mint states that it’s currently using the proprietary driver.

So that should help? :)

Yes, it enrolls the Linux Mint signing key into Machine Owners Key(mok) and then Secure Boot can be used

To clarify, after installing the NVIDIA driver through the Additional Drivers Manager, should I reboot with secure boot disabled and then execute the command, or should I first enter my BIOS/UEFI to enable secure boot and then execute the command?

Install the Nvidia driver with Secure Boot disabled, run the commands, reboot and enable Secure Boot

I apologize I am a little bit confused, do I ignore the reboot option when it successfully installed the driver and then submit the command and then reboot?
digital flicker
Yes

I apologize again, I have issues with important procedures and understanding right away.

My method is correct, you could run the commands I posted before installing the Nvidia driver and rebooting and enabling Secure Boot

I didn’t install the drivers yet. I’m just trying to find a method and instructions to implement the methods

When I tested those commands, I had multiple out of kernel modules already in use. I ran the commands and then enabled Secure Boot and there were no problems, it should be no different with the Nvidia module
sudo mokutil -i /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der mokutil --list-enrolled sudo mokutil --test-key /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der

Oh okay

It seems to be working, thank you so much!

I had a question, would that command also work on Fedora?
digital flicker
It might, but you may have to make your own MOK.der file
