Public bug reported: I got a notification (GUI) that a new firmware was available for my X1 5th gen. I selected to apply it, and rebooted. Usually I would see the update being applied while the bios splash screen was displayed, but nothing of the sort happened. I just saw my normal grub menu. I thought maybe something changed in focal, and booted normally.
Just out of curiosity, I ran "fwupdmgr update", and to my surprise it offered the same bios update. I applied it again, selected to reboot, and nothing was applied. Again I ran fwupdmgr update, and the update remained available.
