Re: Bug 1900233 - Grub fails to boot with tpm.c errors

[Bruno Parisi]

Hi! Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I'd be more than happy to try the patch out, unfortunately I'm not familiar with how to apply it. Would you have instruction for me to follow?

I see + & - element so I'm guessing I'm to remove/replace these lines in a file but I see Git commands so am I supposed to download a Git repo and modify the files and then compile?

I'm a long time Linux user but only recently started to learn about Git and manual installs. I'm happy to learn and be more helpful in the community but if you could point me in the right direction to understand the how to do this I'd appreciate it 😅😄.

Apologies for my lack of knowledge.

Kind regards,

Bruno
