Before trying to install the update for the firmware.
DESCRIPTION
Please show what commands Discover is trying to run for updates as some
packages fail to update and we don't know what commands to try in the terminal
to see if we get similar results, output or if some permissions are required,
like the superuser one.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Check for updates on a computer with UEFI that is supported by LVFS
2. Check if you have an updated called "Microsoft KEK CA
3. If you do, try to install it.
OBSERVED RESULT
Update fails and shows an error pop-up window that says:
Update Issue
There was an issue during the update or installation process. Please try again
later. (non copiable text and also not precise enough as I think it failed at
the installing part, not the download part, which both are part of the update
process).
Clicking the "See technical details" says this:
failed to write-firmware: failed to write (null): failed to write data to
efivarsfs: Error writing to file descriptor: Invalid argument
EXPECTED RESULT
1. The update to work.
2. If it doesn't, like in this case, then:
A. Be as precise as possible about which part of the update process failed, the
download part or the install part.
B. Show the exact command that Discover is issuing to install the updates as
maybe it could be outdated or wrong.
C. Show all error messages without having to click extra buttons to see them
all.
D. Allow us to select and copy all messages with the things we already learned
and know, like selecting and coping from context menu or by pressing CTRL+C.
Buttons to copy the text should be extra, not the only way.
E. Please stop hiding and dumbing-down everything. This is very annoying and
time wasting for power users and for people who want to learn something.
