Summary: Discover doesn't show available firmware updates
offered by fwupd
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version: 5.27.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: fwupd Backend
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: timo.g...@gmail.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org, sharma.abhijeet2...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Discover doesn't show any firmware updates available by fwupd.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Build Discover with the fwupd backend
2. Launch Discover
3. See no updates
OBSERVED RESULT
No updates are being displayed.
EXPECTED RESULT
Available updates correctly being displayed and offered to upgrade.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Exherbo
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.105.0
Qt Version: 5.15.9
Kernel Version: 6.2.0 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz
Memory: 11.5 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 530
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. Updates are displayed and correctly working via the fwupdmgr cli as well as
within gnome-firmware (43.0) - see additionally attached screenshots.
2. If manually typing "lenovo" in the search box the device is found however
not the update itself as it reports version 0.0.0.1 instead of the 0.0.4.6
firmware update version and the install button doesn't do anything - see
additionally attached screenshots.
3. Discover also reports a general error on launch that it can't be used to do
system upgrades as I've build it only with the fwupd backend (as packagekit
also doesn't support our package manager) however the screenshots I found at
https://pointieststick.com/2018/08/04/this-week-in-usability-productivity-part-30/
also offer the firmware updates labled under the "System Updates" so this error
message isn't quite correct - see additionally attached screenshots.
4. gnome-firmware displays all devices fwupd supports in general with a note
"No Releases Available" to indicate that there are no available updates - but
allows to see all devices supported by fwupd all the time and check their
firmware and other details which I would welcome to see in Discover (or any
other hardware kcm with fwupd support) as well.
