Hi,

I got this error when I tried to install the SGX driver for ubuntu 14.04.  modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'isgx': Required key not available. 

 I followed the installation guide on the official site https://download.01.org/intel-sgx/linux-1.7/docs/Intel_SGX_SDK_Installation_Guide_Linux_1.7_Open_Source.pdf:

How can I solve this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You may want to disable secure boot in BIOS settings and enable SGX . 

Under “Security” Tab,

   i. Under “Intel® SGX”

       1. Set Intel ® SGX Control to “Enabled”

   ii. Under “Secure Boot”

       1. Set Secure Boot to “Disabled”

Hi Shredha,

I got the same error when I tried to install Linux kernel driver on my Ubuntu OS which was on a VM-Ware virtual machine and with a None-SGX enabled computer. Then, I tried it again with My SGX-enabled machine and a real Linux(Not VM), and everything was ok. Based on my observation I would conclude that either your CPU is not SGX enabled CPU or you did not enable SGX functionality in your computer BIOS.

Possible solutions:

1-Make sure you have a Skylake CPU which is 6th generation CPU. 

2-Make sure you have enabled SGX support functionality in your computer BIOS.

Best Regards,

Saeid
