fwupd service not starting if pending.db is corrupt #553

Closed tsilvs closed 7 months ago

tsilvs commented 7 months ago

Bug description

Sometimes fwupd service stops working without any proper error messages. In forums people say that it's caused by faulty /var/lib/fwupd/pending.db file. Testing this hypothesis showed good results, issue was temporarily solved until pending.db beaks again.

To Reproduce

Please describe the steps needed to reproduce the bug:

  1. Somehow break the /var/lib/fwupd/pending.db
  2. Restart the system
  3. Check if fwupd service is running
    • Try running systemctl is-active fwupd
    • Try restarting it with systemctl restart fwupd
  4. Check journalctl for fwupd related errors, warnings or failures

Expected behavior

  1. fwupd should normally start on boot
  2. fwupd.service or fwupd itself should validate the pending.db and other generated and cached files.
