My Ubuntu (20.04) Software is prompting a new firmware available: UEFI dbx 77--> 217 (?), but when I try to update I receive the following error message:


Impossible to update UEFI dbx.
Blocked executable in the ESP, ensure grub and shim are up to date:/boot/efi/EFI/Boot/shimx64.efi Authenticode checksum [_checksum code_] is presente in dbx.

I am not really sure what this implies and, if I understood it correctly, why is it jumping from version 77 to 217. A bit more of details on the system:

I had a similar problem on my Dell 5820 under Ubuntu 22.04. I suggest checking whether the binary is used.


To do this I suggest to check whether the file /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/shimx64.efi is listed in the boot entries



efibootmgr -v



In my case it was not but the more recent (note the slight difference in path) /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi was used.


I then noticed that /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/shimx64.efi was years older than the other files in /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/.



sudo ls -lah /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/



I then removed it and the upgrade worked smoothly.



sudo rm /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/shimx64.efi




sudo fwupdmgr update
