Hi Anna, First I want to say that the Linux Wacom team has recently put a lot of effort into forward compatibility in the kernel through the use of HID Descriptors. That's why when you plug in your device via USB it should work without any driver updates. In the past any new device would necessitate a driver update. I realize that's of little consolation to you. Unfortunately, Bluetooth support here is more complicated for a couple of reasons and that's why you need to update your driver. To my knowledge this is the first time someone has asked for a support with installing on a secure boot system. A google search shows only 1 similar question to yours, asked in the past few days[1]. Maybe Jason or Ping remembers this type of request before? Anways, please bear with us as we get up to speed on this issue. The 'sbsign' command is only necessary for signing a kernel (not a module) so you wont need that here. I believe, after finding a system to test on, that the trouble you're experiencing is that the signed driver isn't installing. Running through the process, I get the following errors during the "sudo make install" step of installation: depmod: ERROR: failed to load symbols from /lib/modules/4.15.0-22-generic/extra/wacom.ko: Exec format error /usr/sbin/update-initramfs -u -k 4.15.0-22-generic update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-22-generic modinfo: ERROR: could not get modinfo from 'wacom': Exec format error depmod: ERROR: failed to load symbols from /var/tmp/mkinitramfs_dkPWtS/lib/modules/4.15.0-22-generic/extra/wacom.ko: Exec format error Also, running 'modinfo wacom | grep version' after the failed installation returns the error: modinfo: ERROR: could not get modinfo from 'wacom': Exec format error Can you confirm for me that you are having the same errors and seeing the same issue?
