Public bug reported: gnome software version: 3.20.1~git20160331.78d1aab-0ubuntu2 fwupd version: 0.7.0-0ubuntu3
Now that the firmware support has been applied, I've noticed that there are some differences of behavior from upstream gnome-software without Ubuntu patches to that with the Ubuntu patches applied. I've staged a system with firmware updates available on LVFS (XPS 9350). After trying to do an update I've noticed two specific problems. 1) The metadata for firmware updates doesn't refresh in the background. As a user you need to manually go over to the Updates tab and hit the refresh button. I may be wrong, but I believe that's caused by: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/commit/?h=wip/attente/clean-ubuntu-changes&id=08c02f52c4f5cddbab0c7346abcb7b8ecc334827 2) Hitting the refresh button gets the firmware update to download and cache in the background but the button to install it is missing. Normally this button is on the Updates tab. I believe that's caused by this: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/commit/?h=wip/attente/clean-ubuntu-changes&id=f7512b95f98b42d2116a22d88464f56b44df7758 Here is a screenshot showing what the updates tab looks like after hitting the refresh button. http://goo.gl/photos/dJ8KRVWiAFSJtV3b6 ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1565865 Title: Ubuntu patches make applying firmware updates not possible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1565865/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
