Selected boot did not athenticate

#1

Post by silverpuma » Sun May 06, 2018 10:49 am

Hi all, just tried 3 times to install mx-17 on my hd from a live usb. I get to the end each time and it begins to reboot then it says .... selected boot did not authenticate.....

When do I remove the usb live stick? Before it begins to reboot or leave it in till it hopefully starts again. No doubt this is me doing something silly....

Thanks in advance for the constant help

Some Live USB creation tools seem to create a USB that does not boot with Secure Boot enabled, at least in my experience. Can you tell us what you used?

Sounds like it was being blocked by Secure Boot.
Secure boot is a feature of UEFI. Maybe if you had disabled Secure Boot you may have been able to install in UEFI mode.

I guess legacy boot automatically disables Secure Boot?

legacy boot doesn't use UEFI at all.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say legacy boot doesn't use UEFI mode at all? It's still UEFI that's starting up the computer but running in legacy mode.
