I recently installed Kubuntu 22.04 in a dual-boot system with Windows -
my computer did not ship with Linux. I ran an update through the KDE app
Discover that updated the Dell BIOS. This update appeared to be
successful. I then booted into Kubuntu and saw that Discover was telling
me to restart to install other updates I had downloaded. I rebooted, but
the message was still there. It appears that the updates are not
actually installing when I restart. I am running a Dell XPS 17 9700. I
have UEFI Secure Boot enabled. I have shut down the computer and booted
into Kubuntu again, but this did not solve the issue. I ran fwupdmgr
update and got

Devices with no available firmware updates:
 • DELL098F:00 04F3:311C
 • Integrated Webcam HD
Devices with the latest available firmware version:
 • UEFI dbx

...which suggests that a bad EFI binary is not at fault, as a person suggested to me.
I'm not sure what package, if any, is the problem here.
I expected the updates to install normally upon restarting, as they usually do. I instead experienced the above.
Thanks for any help in advance.
