I helped install Mint on my friend's laptop and I don't have WiFi; I have to connect using an ethernet cable. I have updated the OS and drivers but I haven't had any success.
Could you help?
Much thanks.

Sorry, I wasn't at home.
It's complicated to give you the results because I've just done the latest system updates and I don't even have access with the Ethernet cable anymore.

Can you use USB tethering to a smart phone?

No, nothing works

errant cape No, nothing works

Can you use the grub menu at boot, Advanced Options to boot into an older kernel to see if ethernet will at least work. See if this command has results dpkg -l | grep linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r)

How to get to grub menu if not shown: #1331824974440431768 message

#

do the part "once you see GRUB menu" as Jeremy said, to boot older linux image

tame pumice Jun 1, 2025, 7:59 PM

#

Every once in a while the linux-modules-extra doesn't get installed with a new kernel and that package contains a lot of drivers

mokutil --sb

#

SecureBoot enabled

tame pumice Jun 1, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

You can either disable Secure Boot and use wifi or not have wifi

errant cape Jun 1, 2025, 8:16 PM

#

The problem comes from the?
I have to disable it directly in the BIOS?

tame pumice Jun 1, 2025, 8:21 PM

#

Yes, Secure Boot doesn't allow that wifi driver to work and the setting is in the BIOS

errant cape Jun 1, 2025, 8:24 PM

#

Okay, I'll look into disabling it in the BIOS as soon as I have access to the computer.

tame pumice Jun 1, 2025, 8:29 PM

#

If you need Secure Boot on, you can try sudo mokutil -i /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der mokutil --list-enrolled sudo mokutil --test-key /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der and sudo mokutil --enable-validation

#

Remember the password you use to enroll the MOK key if you do this route

tame pumice Jun 1, 2025, 8:57 PM

#

Might be good so far

#

You didn't run both commands together? First one is sudo mokutil -i /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der

#

then mokutil --list-enrolled

errant cape Jun 1, 2025, 9:01 PM

#

📎 message.txt

tame pumice Jun 1, 2025, 9:04 PM

#

Now sudo mokutil --enable-validation

#

During the reboot you might see something about MOK validation and have to enter the password for it again

errant cape Jun 1, 2025, 9:06 PM

#

its ok

#

acer@acer-Extensa-2510:~$ mokutil --sb
SecureBoot enabled

tame pumice Jun 1, 2025, 9:09 PM

#

Works now with Secure Boot?

errant cape Jun 1, 2025, 9:10 PM

#

If not, can I restart an installation with Secureboot?

tame pumice Jun 1, 2025, 9:12 PM

#

If those commands don't fix it, just disable Secure Boot in the BIOS settings

#

I actually tested those commands in March, https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2600607#p2600607

errant cape Oct 10, 2025, 5:38 PM

#

Hello
I was away for a while. I'm back to my problem. I'm looking into disabling Secure Boot.

#

Okay, I just disabled secure boot.

No

#

The information is simply hardware information

#

We'd need to open your computer to the internet and reconfigure your firewall in order to hack you

#

Furthermore, there actually has to be a security vulnarability

#

I don't see why we'd want to hack you, anyhow. If we wanted to do that we would just put a virus directly into the Linux Mint ISO. This would be a really bad way to hack people.

Do you have the results?

tame pumice Oct 16, 2025, 5:06 PM

No

You have to post URL from terminal

errant cape Oct 16, 2025, 5:07 PM

I entered the following command: mokutil --list-enrolled|nc termbin.com 9999

tame pumice Oct 16, 2025, 5:08 PM

#

Or just see if there are results for mokutil --list-enrolled|grep -i mint

That should tell if the Mint key was enrolled in MOK
