I guess the only other way is to use another keyboard that the mainboard recognize before BIOS boot
I will find out for sure in about 24 hours… Got one coming Amazon… lol…
I think for all DIY version (not pre-built), secure boot should be off by default. The computer user can enable secure boot should they want it after configurating the system (installing os and such). Secure boot on by default before DIY-ing could significantly interfere the configuration process.
In this case the result is an increased e-waste because OP is forced to buy another keyboard.
lol. I feel you. Nonetheless I bought this machine to challenge myself and keep myself busy. I may suffer a little as I go, but one way or another I will get it running with Linux…
May be the Logitech F-Key-Nonsense - if the keyboard has an FN-key, hold that while hammering F2 as by default the F-Keys may not be handled as actual F-Keys but rather shortcut keys.
For me this is reason enough to not ever consider Logitech-Keyboards (and the renaming to “logi” is one reason more).
I never thought of that; Dang it; My Amazon basic wired usb 2.0 keyboard and mouse just showed up but I not home; When I get home later tonight or tomorrow morning I am going try the Fn/F2 combo on evil Logi; if no work; plug Amazon basic’s in and see if I can get into bios; if I can; I am going to boot to Bazzite usb and reinstall so I can enter the MOK key in and leave secure boot on. I know others may be against this but I want to try. lol. I stubborn.
I recommend turning off secure boot at least once and check the normal functionality of the computer, then turn back on later. If secure boot can’t be turned off or won’t work at off, this is like a phone with a locked bootloader, and some Linux distros needs secure boot to be off during installation.
I plugged in Amazon basic key board and F2 for me straight into bios; I turned of secure boot; next reboot past grub and os loaded up. FU logi wired keyboard…
