Public bug reported: I am running hirsute on Thinkpad X1 Carbon gen 7. Fwupdmgr used to work on groovy. Now, fwupdmgr detects new firmware, successfully places the .cap file in /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/fw/, successfully sets efi "next boot" to 2 which is "Linux-Firmware-Updater", but on reboot, there are no signs that fwupdx64 was attempted to be executed, and system drops directly into grub.
Same when I use BIOS boot menu. There are entries for "ubuntu" and for "Linux firmware updater", but selecting any of them boots grub. After boot, EFI "BootCurrent" points to the updater entry, though it apparently did not run! $ efibootmgr -v|head BootCurrent: 0002 Timeout: 0 seconds BootOrder: 0001,0019,001A,001B,001C,001D,001E,001F,0020,0021,0022,0023,0024,0002 Boot0001* ubuntu HD(1,GPT,6ccce482-e2c2-48ca-991e-608bee5d38af,0x800,0x100000)/File(\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi) Boot0002* Linux-Firmware-Updater HD(1,GPT,6ccce482-e2c2-48ca-991e-608bee5d38af,0x800,0x100000)/File(\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi)\.f.w.u.p.d.x.6.4...e.f.i...

There is a github ticket https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo- thinkpad/issues/123 that could be explained by this problem too.
