Thanks for the info. This is not a bug,

"Since Ubuntu kernel 4.4.0-20 the EFI_SECURE_BOOT_SIG_ENFORCE kernel config has been enabled. That prevents from loading unsigned third party modules if UEFI Secure Boot is enabled.

Since Ubuntu kernel build 4.4.0-21.37 this can be fixed by running

sudo apt install mokutil
sudo mokutil --disable-validation"

Can we close this?
