Disable Secure Boot in BIOS. – Pilot6 Oct 06 '20 at 18:57
Thank you, I'm new on ubuntu, how to do this please? – Sonia Slimani Oct 06 '20 at 19:02
It is actually part of your BIOS for the computer you are using. Go into the BIOS during boot and disable it. – SimpliFixed Oct 06 '20 at 19:04

Does this answer your question? Why do I get "Required key not available" when install 3rd party kernel modules or after a kernel upgrade? – Pilot6 Oct 20 '20 at 06:51
