So I know this was a problem in fedora-31 but I thought that this was resolved in Fedora 32. I was running the preview beta with no problems but yesterday I did a dnf update and now I’m back to having this error. (The one discussion I was going to post to is closed so this is why I opened this in a new one)
When i run journalctl -b -u fwupd this is the output that I get

This is beyond Ask Fedora to debug. Let’s go straight to upstream. Please report it here.
Look at this recent report for a high-quality report that demonstrates the debug information that you should provide. But please file a new bug rather than piling on to that one, because your issue is likely different even though the symptom is the same. If it turns out to be the same issue, it’s easy for the developer to mark it as such.
It is actually similar to two of the new issues and I have contributed to the issues on those. I have a logitech keyboard and I also have the same output in the verbose logging of fwupd.
What I was hoping for here was some guidance on how to troubleshoot something like this, not on the how to fix it.
I reverted back to the previous version of fwupd through koji and it resolved my issue for now. So I have excluded the package from being updated also, and I’ll check back occasional on the issues to see if they have been resolved.
I am having the same problem. But looking forward to the new release, as I always do, I have wondered about the effect of this on the cli upgrade. The common advisement on this issue has been, “Ignore it, it will eventually go away.” (Note the FIXME notation.) Will this break the upgrade?

Recently updated to Fedora 32. Now, every time I restart the system, gnome-software produces this error:
Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: Timeout was reached
Searching for solutions, I found this Ask Fedora thread that linked to multiple bug reports. All trace the problem to tpm2-abrmd but I did not have that installed. I tried installing it, with no effect. Uninstalled it again.
journalctl -b --no-hostname | grep gnome-software

Feel like I’d need more information for a legitimate bug report. Help welcome. Thank you.
We appreciate your work with fwupd. I tried ammending the daemon.conf file as you suggested, but so far it seems to have not been effective. I have yet to upgrade to 32.
