Public bug reported:
While on battery, i tried to install bios firmware from Ubuntu Software.
Clicking "install" in the update tab grayed it out for a second, and
then restored back to being clickable. I tried it several times without
any failure notifications, but it was clearly not doing anything.
Rebooting several times also didn't help. Finally, in the system log, I
noticed this error, explaining the issue. This error should have been
shown to me in UI, without the need to go into the logs.
