Fwupd: Unsupported Daemon version number in proportion to client number

Created on 3 Dec 2019  路  5Comments  路  Source: fwupd/fwupd

To help us pinpoint your issue, please insert the output of the
following commands when ran on the system with the issue:

$ fwupdmgr --version
client version: 1.2.10
compile-time dependency versions
        gusb:   0.3.0
        efivar: 37
daemon version: 1.3.5

Note, the switch --version is only present since version 0.9.6. If you use an
earlier version, please use the package manager to find out the package
version. For example, dpkg -l fwupd.

$ fwupdmgr get-devices
Unsupported daemon version 1.3.5, client version is 1.2.10

**This is only required if you use the UEFI plugin**

I'm pretty sure I have the UEFI plugin because the readme here says it is installed by default. Also, I'm not sure why anything to do with windows is listed on the efibootmanager, as this is a fresh SSD that has only ever had linux installed on it.

$ efivar -l | grep fw
0abba7dc-e516-4167-bbf5-4d9d1c739416-fwupdate-53f51f56-eff2-4516-9dda-ed501b3f0f8a-0
**This is only required if you use the UEFI plugin**
$ tree /boot
**INSERT OUTPUT HERE**
there were no cap files or any mention of fwupx64.efi
**We're looking for any `.cap` files and the location of `fwupx64.efi`**

Please answer the following questions:

  • Operating system and version: kubuntu 19.10
  • How did you install fwupd (ex: from source, pacman, apt-get, etc): Snap
  • Have you tried rebooting? yes
  • Are you using an NVMe disk? yes
  • Is secure boot enabled (only for the UEFI plugin)? yes

My problem is fairly apparent from what I've provided, but in short, my problem is that I get this error when trying to scan for devices: Unsupported daemon version 1.3.5, client version is 1.2.10. My laptop, the Dell Latitude 7280 is listed on your products page, and should be supported, as your readme file states that any version greater than or equal to 16.04 should be supported.
EDIT: I also get the error above whenever I use the fwupdmgr command, not just when I'm using get-devices

If you're using snap you should be using fwupd.fwupdmgr rather than fwupdmgr directly.

Yes; as mentioned on the wiki: https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/wiki/fwupd-snap

  1. either remove the apt packaged version first (snap remove fwupd; apt purge fwupd; snap install fwupd --classic)
    or
  2. Use the prefixed version as mentioned above.

Thank you! That worked, but I'm also wondering if
A. It's abnormal not to have cap/fwup files show up when run tree /boot
B. there's any way to tell if I have the UEFI extension installed, and if not if there's anything I can do about it

A. It's abnormal not to have cap/fwup files show up when run tree /boot

They're only going to be there after you've run an upgrade.

B. there's any way to tell if I have the UEFI extension installed, and if not if there's anything I can do about it

It's shipped in the snap.

Ok thanks!
