Thanks for sharing. I'm suspecting memory corruption related to a problem in libsmbios (used by Dell plugin). Can you please try an experiment and see if this resolves it:
1) Edit /etc/fwupd/daemon.conf 2) Change BlacklistPlugins=test to BlacklistPlugins=test;dell That will disable the Dell plugin from loading. Try to restart fwupd a few times and see if it works properly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1744782 Title: on update, notification in software center that fwupd failed to activate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd/+bug/1744782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
