OK, so I think the upstream fixes committed in libsmbios can fix this. Would you mind to help verify:
1) Move that library back in place 2) Undo the blacklist of the plugin 3) git clone https://github.com/dell/libsmbios 4) cd libsmbios 5) apt build-dep libsmbios (you might need to turn on the deb-src source in /etc/apt/sources.list) 6) ./pkg/mk-rel-deb.sh 7) dpkg -i dist/bionic/libsmbios2*.deb 8) Restart fwupd with verbose Do step 8 a few times. Assuming that works, I'm intending to get a new libsmbios release out soon (still need to fix one more bug). If it doesn't work still: 1) please upload a new crash report with that library in place. 2) You can rename the plugin again to prevent fwupd crashes until I have another test for you ready to go. -- 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
