Maybe a small detail which may have an impact: the laptop has SecureBoot enabled by default. During the installation, the Ubuntu installer made me go about setting a password.
After installing Virtualbox I noticed that I had to do some extra steps into signing the compiled kernel module. I have followed the procedures correctly, but afterwards decided to turn off Secure Boot just to not wanting to deal with the upgrade hassle in the future. I don't remember between which boots I disabled SecureBoot and when I started the firmware update successfully. I do remember the annoyance of the firmware upgrade processes beeping every couple of seconds during the long procedure, in an open workspace environment. Because it's usually a bad idea to terminate a firmware flash right in the middle I had to run away with my "ticking timebomb". But I divert, this has nothing to do with actually setting up the firmware upgrade through Gnome-Software/fwupd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1811169 Title: Device firmware update does not detect AC power To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd/+bug/1811169/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
