On kernel updates I saw a recurring "EFI variables are not supported on this system", so I investigated and learned that the new EFI variables are provided via a file system that needs to be mounted first:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
|
||
|
|
```
