1 year ago Secure Boot and installing drivers highly depend on the hardware manufacturer + environment. There is no methodology description in the Photon OS docs yet. I hope in 2023 we will see some efforts in this direction. With all upcoming security advisories at this level, fail quick and learn faster is 当たり前 (Atarimae) "natural".
From Lenovo, yesterday they shipped the first lux shim version, see https://github.com/lenovo-lux/shim-review.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No Documentation exists on how to install drivers on Photon OS. Users need to know what packages are required, examples for different scenario's, etc..
Examples that are needed: linux-firmware dkms make/make install
Describe the solution you'd like
Example would be for adding an Intel Wireless Driver. Here is my example:
Install Packages needed
tdnf install -y git linux-api-headers linux-devel linux-firmware usbutils pciutils wpa_supplicant reboot
Download and install iwlwifi firmware
cd /tmp git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git --depth 1 cd linux-firmware sudo cp iwlwifi-* /lib/firmware/
Search for devices
modprobe iwlwifi
review messages in dmesg for intel driver
dmesg | grep iwlwifi
Use tools to find details about wireless devices and drivers used
PCI Devices
lspci lspci xx:yy -nnvvv (allows you to see what firmware is being used and more details)
USB Devices
lsusb lsusb xx:yy -nnvvv (same thing)
Describe alternatives you've considered
Nothing exists for this documentation, I had to figure it out on my own.
