[Bug 2001740] Re: Dell firmware updates cause other updates to not install correctly on Kubuntu 22.04

[Mario Limonciello]

If the command line tool fwupdmgr is reporting no more updates I don't
believe this is a fwupd bug.  It's probably KDE discover that needs to
be investigated.

** Also affects: plasma-discover (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: fwupd (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  Dell firmware updates cause other updates to not install correctly on
  Kubuntu 22.04

Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in plasma-discover package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
