HDDSC driver module (hddscbdXXXX.ko) fails to install when the OS has been booted with Secure Boot enabled in the UEFI BIOS. This prevents using the Virtual Driver and Direct Modes in OpenSuperClone.
The following error message is printed in OSC's terminal:
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /tmp/hddsctemp2166/hddscbd2166.ko: Operation not permitted
This error is caused by the Ubuntu kernel forbidding unsigned kernel modules from installing when Secure Boot is active. Most likely due to the kernel config parameters CONFIG_LSM="lockdown"
.
Current solution: Disable Secure Boot to access all OSC functions.
Planned solution: OSC 2.5.0+ should allow for a self-signed driver module to be included in the live image. Enrolling a MOK key into the UEFI will then allow the driver to be loaded in Secure Boot mode.
