Bug#1061731: fwupd: Failed to load daemon: failed to load engine: Failed to load config: Key file does not have group “redfish”
Hello. I can confirm that upgrading fwupd and libfwupd2 on Trixie to 1.9.14-1 and installing the package maintainer's version of /etc/fwupd/fwupd.conf allowed the fwupd status to start: sudo apt upgrade Reading package lists...

Hi guys, I fixed the issue on my system by commenting out the title of the two empty sections in /etc/fwupd/fwupd.conf: #[redfish] ... #[uefi_capsule] Then, of course, you need to start the daemon: $ sudo systemctl start fwupd Sébastien -- Sébastien Dinot, sebastien.di...@free.fr http://www.palabritudes.net/ Ne goutez pas au logiciel libre, vous ne pourriez plus vous en passer !
Bug#1061731: fwupd: Failed to load daemon: failed to load engine : Failed to load config: Key file does not have group “redfish”
Hi, I faced this issue as well. It seems to me that the problem comes from the fact that the updated global configuration or parsing thereof under `/etc/ fwupd/fwupd.conf` is invalid because some sections are empty, potentially making them just as absent from the parsing's perspective. Another workaround, potentially more lightweight, is therefore to either add at least one benign configuration key and value in the `redfish` and `uefi_capsule` sections taken from the man page or the `*.conf.old` files of the same name, or to simply remove them entirely. Cheers, Paul.
