Lubuntu broke Asus Zen AIo

So I am installing lubuntu on an Asus Zen aio that used to have windows 10 but got to slow for the user, I can’t really find which model exactly but i have some specs:

The bios says Model Name: ZN220IC-K

8GB of Ram

Intel Core I3-7100U (2.40GHz, 2 Core-4Threads)

The main drive is a Toshiba MQ01ABD100

I flashed the latest lubuntu 24.04 on my Sandisk USB using Etcher on my pc, plugged it into the Asus, did a live boot test session and everything runned smoothly. I put all the preferences in the installer menu and clicked on the option to wipe all the other partitions and install lubuntu. (The wiped partitions were the windows boot menu and windows itself)

Then the installer finished, said everything was correct and that I had to plug it out and start the pc.

When the pc started it gave a few error lines:

Could Not Create MokListXRT: Volume Full
Could Not Create SbatLevelRT: Volume Full
Could Not Create MokListTrustedRT: Volume Full
Something has gone seriously wrong: import_mok_state() failed: Volume Full

But I can’t boot on the usb again or on any other usb. I can go into the bios and set the boot priority to the usb, but as soon as I save and exit I get the same Error lines

(Especially the final message)?

I’m not suggesting that any of it will help you (not at all) but, it does seem relevant and unfortunately, it is a pretty recent post as well. Obviously has to be a firmware issue though i.e. tricky stuff - don’t do anything until/unless you receive a definitive response and/or you’re willing to take the risk bricking your system. I guess there is one positive about the post in that it implies that some people have found various work-rounds for a few platforms.

Depends on your experience with installing OS’es (I mean, doing low level things in a terminal), but maybe you look at: 21.04 UEFI boot fails: Could not create MOKlistXRT: Out of resources - Ask Ubuntu. Could be a starting point.
