Public bug reported: I tried to upgrade my firmware today because several security updates are available, and after 4 hours my ThinkPad T470 was still stuck on the "Installing new firmware..." screen with a spinning line and no progress bar. I unplugged it and had to wait for the battery to die to stop it.
After plugging it in again it booted normally. I tried to find a way to report bugs to LVFS, but I couldn't find anywhere to do that on their site. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this bug.
