[Bug 1966364] Re: Error messages since last update

[Mario Limonciello]

FYI both of these are harmless.  They just mean HSI security attributes
won't be able to measure and keep track of history.  HSI security
attributes is still under development anyway.

Do you have TPM enabled in your firmware?

The message means the version in 20.04 is too old for this feature.
There are newer ones upstream.

Bug description:
  Recently, fwupd is throwing two new (to me) error messages in
  /var/log/syslog

   fwupd[100718]: 22:11:50:0717 FuPluginTpm          failed to load
  eventlog: Failed to open file
  "/sys/kernel/security/tpm0/binary_bios_measurements": No such file or
  directory

  and

   fwupd[100718]: 22:11:50:0882 FuEngine             failed to record
  HSI attributes: failed to get historical attr: json-glib version too
  old

  The first one seems to have been solved on the GitHub
  (https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/issues/4290) so not sure if I should
  just wait for an update.

  The second is more puzzling as I seem to have the latest version of
  json-glib for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

  Hope this helps.
