Fwupd failed to get updates

Help

I enabled fwupd through services.fwupd.enable = true

And I tried fwupdmgr refresh -v --force, got the outputs:

Is the service running in background ? You can check with systemctl status.

3

No. Then I manually started “fwupd.service”, and tried refresh again. Still got the same result.

4

I found the issue is related to GIO_USE_NETWORK_MONITOR env variable. I set it to base and refresh, fwupdmgr gives me a successful output.

5

The root cause of the problem was false reporting by GNetworkMonitor. I give two solutions here:

  1. As I said before, set GIO_USE_NETWORK_MONITOR environment variable to base.
  2. Install glib-networking package.

I’m gonna post a issue to nikpkgs repository to let them package glib-networking in the fwupd source.
