mokutil: Set shim verbosity.
$ mokutil --set-verbosity true
try on your machine

The command "mokutil --set-verbosity true" is used to enable or disable verbose logging in the Machine Owner Key (MOK) utility on a Linux system.

The MOK utility is generally used for managing Secure Boot on systems that support this feature. Secure Boot is a security mechanism that ensures only authorized and signed software can be executed during the boot process.

The "--set-verbosity true" option enables verbose logging in the MOK utility. Verbose logging provides more detailed information about the operations performed by the utility, which can be useful for troubleshooting or debugging purposes. By setting the verbosity to true, you enable the utility to display additional log information.

It's important to note that this command requires root or administrative privileges to execute, as it deals with system-level configurations.
