Yeah, this one is quite specific but it took me quite a while to find this. So, the steps are as follows:
- Go to the Secure Boot management menu on boot up (F2 before the system is booted).
- Don’t reset Secure Boot.
- Instead, manually delete all keys from PK, KEX and DB. Don’t touch DBX.
- Proceed with
sbctlas per Arch Wiki.

The output is as follows: Place your finger on the fingerprint reader Installed: ✓ sbctl is installed Owner GUID: [redacted] Setup Mode: ✓ Disabled Secure Boot: ✓ Enabled Vendor Keys: builtin-db builtin-KEK](https://blog.cysioland.pl/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/blog_image.png)
