Unable to Download Latest Version of DBX

mp flag

I'm running 22.04.2 LTS, and I have a message in the Software Update tool it says I have a firmware upgrade to install: "Secure Boot dbx Configuration Update" (Version 77 -> 217).

Whenever I try and do this using the GUI, it hangs and I'm then unable to shut down my machine. I have tried some basic terminal instructions, with similar effect.

Why am I unable to update the "Secure Boot dbx Configuration Update"?

Running sudo fwupdate -l gives the following:

failed: Error opening file /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/FWUPDATE_DEBUG_LOG-0abba7dc-e516-4167-bbf5-4d9d1c739416: No such file or directory

Running sudo fwupdate -i gives the following:

(fwupdate:19008): FuPluginUefiCapsule-WARNING **: 17:06:18.722: SMBIOS BIOS Characteristics Extension Byte 2 is invalid -- UEFI Specification is unsupported, but /sys/firmware/efi exists: System does not support UEFI mode Information for the update status entry 0: Firmware GUID: {ffd4675e-ff47-46d9-ac24-8b331f937737} Update Status: No update info found

Please [edit] the question and add output of `sudo fwupdate -L; sudo fwupdate -i` command.

@richbl Look into edit history ;-) I removed it. That was a complete crap. Now it is a good question ;-)

What does `sudo fwupdate -l` show? I think you didn't wait till the update finishes and turned off the PC. Let's see that output and also try `sudo fwupdate -a`. If it doesn't work, it is better to upgrade BIOS instead of using Ubuntu for that.

`sudo fwupdate -l` gives the following output: `(fwupdate:20117): FuPluginUefiCapsule-WARNING **: 17:21:29.964: SMBIOS BIOS Characteristics Extension Byte 2 is invalid -- UEFI Specification is unsupported, but /sys/firmware/efi exists: System does not support UEFI mode system-firmware type, {ffd4675e-ff47-46d9-ac24-8b331f937737} version 1444163667 can be updated to any version above 1380122623` I tried `sudo fwupdate -a` but it didn't work

It looks like there are problems with fwupdate.

It could be that you started the update, didn't let it finish and restarted the PC.

Also there may be other problems. The best choice in this case is to download BIOS from the PC vendor site and upgrade it according to vendor's manuals.

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.
