the command /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /usr/sbin/update-secureboot-policy --enroll-key runs on startup eating ~50% cpu and ~20% mem i can kill it manualy but i want to solve that problem.

It started when i installed VMware player wich i have unistalled since yet it still remains when i dont use secure boot diffrent prosses run and eat ~20% cpu constently at idle.

Before that whole thing i used max of 2% cpu.

can i sign the MOK or what ever to get rid of this or what do i have to do?

Edit:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Xubuntu install

I had the same problem and a solution can be found on this page: CPU running much harder/louder after software update

In short, you have to kill the process, as you have, and then start it manually from a command line.

The problem seems to be that the dialog to complete the MOK setup is not displayed. After entering a suitable password you should reboot and then enroll the MOK during boot.
