brent Axios $ fwupdmgr --version Failed to connect to daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not activate remote peer 'org.freedesktop.fwupd': startup job failed I do know from the changelog it is 2.0.12-32. fwupd at their github has released 2.0.13 two weeks but we don't have it yet edit: and thank you
Axios brent Made things alittle clearer I guess but dont know why. Well your not only person had that problem but dont see a cure yet https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/fwupdmgr-failed-to-connect-to-daemon-gdbus-error-org-freedesktop-dbus-error-namehasnoowner-could-not-activate-remote-peer-org-freedesktop-fwupd-startup-job-failed/64453 Do a search for that error it pulls up alot stuff something may help
brent Axios that's OK--me too. Its been hours. going to walk away from this for a while and see if I have a eureka moment later 🙂
brent Axios user's solution which was at bottom did not work for me but it opened up a whole new can of worms including "kernel lockdown"----it definitely got weirder
Harvey Why are you fucking with it? fwupdmgr is not a service and fwupd.service is not supposed to be enabled as it tries to tell you. This means they are not meant to be enabled or disabled using systemctl.
brent Harvey I was doing my own manual firmware updates for a while, periodically,but now I am no longer able to. Just trying to understand why I am no longer able to. IE- sudo fwupdmgr get-updates this ^ used to work. now it no longer works.

Harvey https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/issues/8251 Looks to be it. I can report that with the recent fwupd version (2.0.13-1) this is somehow fixed for me on EndeavourOS 😃 We are on fwupd 2.0.12. So it seems to only affect some hardware. I recommend filing an issue for this with us https://github.com/getsolus/packages/issues/new?template=report-a-bug.yml and include the github issue I provided showing some say that the latest version fixes it.
brent Harvey I did just that https://github.com/getsolus/packages/issues/6141 I really appreciate your research here--I was there at github/fwupd and I missed it today! Maybe 2.0.13-xx will be the answer, we shall see. Tomorrow another day. Thanks @Harvey
