Having a problem installing a security tool and the vendor is telling me to disable secure boot. How can I check that secure boot is enabled or configured?
You could also do the quick and dirty method of parsing dmesg. I.e.
sudo dmesg | grep -i "secure boot"
The tool 'efivar' also can give some information, but the parameter names... wow.
There's a lot of love for the tool 'efitools', which a lot of people use to validate things like this. Unfortunately I can't find a native 15.2 repo for it. Probably more my inexperience than anything.
@Davonious Hi and welcome to the Forum
Just grab the src rpm from https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Base:/System/openSUSE_Factory/src/ and rebuild locally (as your user!) with rpmbuild --rebuild efitools-1.9.2-1.1.src.rpm it will create a directory in $HOME/rpmbuild down in the RPMS directory will be your binaries to install with zypper (as root user)

@Dwayne Hi and welcome to the Forum
Depends on the SLE release... Try the command (as root user)
bootctlFile system " /boot" is not a FAT EFI System Partition (ESP) file system.
Not sure if tells me anything about a secure boot. Anything else I can try?

@Dwayne Hi, then lets see if it's using UEFI booting with
efibootmgr -vYou could also do the quick and dirty method of parsing dmesg. I.e.
