Right. Those are both part of the security fixes that went into the
latest grub upload. It's trying to load fonts from /usr, but that's
now blocked when doing Secure Boot. It's basically cosmetic, but
obviously we don't want to leave it like this. We're talking upstream
about the best way to fix this up now.

OK. I believe that is more likely an unrelated issue.
