After a reboot, clicking on the Update buttons don't complain about connecting to the AC power.
The options briefly disappear, and then reappear, seemingly as if the options weren't accepted. But after another reboot, the bios noticed that there were pending updates and went on to apply both of them after 2 reboots. After the whole procedure the updates don't appear anymore in the Software center, making me believe that it was executed successfully. I seems that the issue could be closed, unless you would consider this an interaction bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1811169 Title: Device firmware update does not detect AC power Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On a freshly installed Ubuntu 18.10 on a Lenovo T580, the Gnome Software center after awhile proposes to install a couple of firmware related updates. At first the AC wasn't connected, and upon trying to install either of the updates, a popup appears saying that the update cannot continue without the AC being plugged in. This is so far expected behavior. But even after connecting the laptop to the AC power supply, the message persists, making it not possible to continue with the firmware updates.
