Yeah this is an issue I ran into yesterday too. The reason for it is that MS made these MSI packages so big they dont fit into your memory anymore (they are extracted to /tmp which is a ramdisk).

I've pushed a fix that lets it extract the MSI in the current directory instead.

Thx a lot, this worked!

Just a question for good understanding (i'm not so experienced in linux): this script will run automatically to check if there are more updates? Or how does it work exactly? Thx a lot for your help!

gr,

Kristof

No, the script only extracts the .msi file that you have downloaded and "wraps" the firmware contained in it into a format usable by fwupd. It doesn't download or check anything itself. So if you want to stay up-to-date on the firmware, you'll have to occasionally check the link in the readme and see if something changed.
