I'm on a clean install of Ubuntu Mate 18.04, the system itself is working with no issues, but I am running dmesg to look at errors and warnings. I like to try to get them all dealt with if possible even if they aren't causing obvious issues right now.
I have an Nvidia card running driver 390.48.
I've got most of the issues dealt with, but one that pops up four times says this:
PKCS#7 signature not signed with a trusted key
Here are +/- three lines in dmesg for context for two of the occurrences (the second one actually captures two):
[ 1.157284] ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xdf34b000 port 0xdf34b200 irq 126

[ 1.181814] [drm] [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Loading driver
The line in question is the PKCS line, I understand the driver will "taint" the kernel. From the context it seems like the PKCS warnings are related to the Nvidia driver. Is that expected? This is the driver obtained from the Ubuntu repository, not independently from Nvidia, if that makes a difference. Usually I can look up the Nvidia-specific errors and warnings (which are usually harmless) but this one I didn't find anything.
I was able to fix it it seems. Just make sure you delete absolutely everything related to nvidia(purge including all configs and i386 as well).
Make sure dpkg -l | grep nvidia
returns an empty result.
Then go for:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-396
(version can vary, of course)
It opens up a graphical interface inside your terminal at some point and proposes to add a signing MOK key. After I did that I rebooted and entered the key when prompted.
