"Secure Boot dbx Configuration Update" resulting in error on 2018 Razer Blade 15

in flag

I get this error message when clicking update:

unable to update "secure boot dbx configuration update": message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying

Unable to update "Secure Boot dbx Configuration Update": Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying

What do I need to do to fix this error and allow the secure boot dbx update to install?

Some machines have occasional issues with firmware updates through the software centre. What I've found (for Dell machines, anyway) is that you can sometimes get around this by using the Terminal.

Here's how:

  1. Open Terminal (if it's not already open)
  2. Refresh fwupdmgr:
    sudo fwupdmgr refresh
    
  3. Check for available updates:
    sudo fwupdmgr get-updates
    
  4. If you see there are updates to be applied, you can do so with:
    sudo fwupdmgr update 
    

If the machine asks you to reboot after applying the updates, feel free to do so. Otherwise, you can carry on with your day

I ended up doing a fresh install of Ubuntu and was allowed to update. Problem solved, kinda.
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
