Hi, no matter how many times I click Restart & Updates..., the integrated firmware update never get’s installed. Everything else does as usual, but not this one.

Is there a command line I can use to force install this?

Fedora 39.

EDIT: Solved.

My ESP /boot/efi partition originally created by Windows 11 had no space for the firmware upgrade files, so the upgrade never ran.

I fixed it by resizing it from 100MB to 200MB, now it works well.

Just in case anyone runs into this in the future, the process is unfortunately not as simple as resizing it on GParted because of a bug in libparted https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649324 but there is a workaround in the comments.

    Run sudo fwupdmgr upgrade from a terminal and check the output - you’ll see much more detail there and you’ll know immediately if runs into any issues.

    What does the yellow exclamation mark show? Any useful information in there?

    In my case, firmware upgrades for my notebook will only be initiated when it’s connected to power

    Are you perhaps trying to fix the subwoofer? I know someone having a problem with firmware and speakers. Apparently there is no fix, and it is a problem on Dell’s end.

    Would you mind sharing the resource you used to resize the partition please? Thank you
