According to this news , there is an official fix for secure boot. Will Ubuntu adapt it?
If so, how long should it take? And does it allow booting new computers from Wubi?

Best Answer
No.
Ubuntu already supports secure boot, as mentioned in the real source of the news:
Wubi doesn't work on
UEFI
systems because it usesgrub4dos
which doesn't supportGPT
(GUID partition table) disks. This is unrelated to secure boot, other than the fact that Secure boot requiresUEFI
. That's the first problem.The secure boot would be the second problem to solve since whatever solution provided would have to be signed to be useful (I would guess since I claim no expertise on this).
The third problem would be that someone should be working on it and - unless it's top secret - no information I have seen indicates that anyone is addressing the problem. The bug report has seen no change from
Wishlist
and remainsUnassigned
