Last week I rebased Fedora Silverblue to versions 32 and since then, when the desktop is loaded and the systems checks for a new update, GNOME Software seems to get stuck in an endless loop searching for new packages.
The error message that is shown is:
Unable to get list of updates:
Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: Timeout was reached
Reading the error message, I understand that the server with the firmware updates (fwupd) can’t be reached.
Does anybody else have the same error? Does anybody know how to solve the problem?
Updating the system with the command line (rpm-ostree upgrade) works fine.
Have a look at this GitHub issue, the Gnome Software error is identical, altough the person reporting the issue was able to update via Gnome Software (no loop was experienced).
