Gnome software reports there is a new firmware update. 2. I click "update now" 3. The update disappears for a few seconds, then reappears. 4. When I reboot my laptop, the laptop goes into firmware update modus, updates the firmware, and starts Ubuntu. What I expect: After clicking "update now", Gnome software tells me my computer has to restart the update. Either the update is listed and greyed out with a "reboot required" message, or the update is not visible.
