Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen7: Update fails when trying to install multiple updates at once #64

Open mendel5 opened 4 years ago

mendel5 commented 4 years ago

The problem described in this issue happened to me almost a month ago. I'm sorry if it is lacking some details but maybe it is still helpful.

I have not used fwupdmgr on my laptop (Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen7) for about 3 months. When I did it again there were four updates available. I remember one update was for the Thunderbolt controller and another one for some type of UEFI device. I also remember that two of the four updates specifically used UEFI update capsules.

I entered the following commands:

fwupdmgr refresh
fwupdmgr get-devices
fwupdmgr get-updates
fwupdmgr update

When fwupdmgr asked me whether to install all updates I pressed "Y" for all of the four updates. Then I restarted the computer to have the updates installed. When I ran the commands listed above again, two of the four updates have been successfully installed. The successful updates were the ones that did not use the UEFI update capsules. But the two updates using the UEFI update capsule were still shown as available so I concluded that they hadn't been installed.

The solution was to install both updates capsules on their own. First one of the capsule updates, then reboot, then the other one, then reboot, then it was done. Unfortunately I don't have any kind of output from fwupdmgr anymore.

I was expecting all four updates, two using UEFI update capsules and two without, to be installed with one single reboot. That was not possible so I first installed the two updates without capsules, rebooted, installed the first capsule, rebooted and then the second capsule. That was successful. Is it possible to install four updates, two of which are UEFI capsules, with just a single reboot?

Do you remember the version you were coming from, i.e. the "old version"? fwupdmgr get-history might help.

Do you remember the version you were coming from, i.e. the "old version"? fwupdmgr get-history might help.

Sure, here it is:

$ fwupdmgr --version
client version: 1.4.4
compile-time dependency versions
    gusb:   0.2.11
    efivar: 34
daemon version: 1.4.4
$ fwupdmgr get-history

I have experienced and can confirm this. Need to install things one by one. Always thought multiple upgrades on a single reboot were not really supported.

mendel5 commented 4 years ago

@hsanjuan I'm glad to hear from you. So it seems the issue is not on my side.
