Hi, I got this error when running ‘dnf update’: “Warning: A pending offline transaction initiated by the following command will be invalidated: dnf5daemon-server.” i ran ‘dnf5 offline clean’ and it temporarily resolved the issue, but the error returns.

Select “manual” updates. Run ‘dnf5 offline clean’ then, restart the laptop. [image]

Hi, the problem persists; I reset the system. [Captura de tela de 2026-09-04 17-54-43] [Captura de tela de 2026-09-04 17-55-18]

I checked and it’s up to date, but upon restarting it asks if I want to update. [Captura de tela de 2026-09-04 18-06-31] [Captura de tela de 2026-09-04 18-06-43]

I can confirm the same thing. I am getting that message when running dnf at the terminal. I get the “install pending updates” message when trying to restart. Even after restarting, it says there are pending updates if I try to restart again, even though Software doesn’t show any available updates…

I didn’t want to say this, but it sounds like an attempt at sabotage.

:red_question_mark: I’m confused? What do you mean?

Can you also check [image] Discover always has updates which are never installed Ask Fedora From /usr/share/doc/fwupd/README.md ## Basic usage flow (command line) If you have a device with firmware supported by fwupd, this is how you can check for updates and…

Can’t speak for OP, but as someone who is having the same problem with restart/shutdown always showing doing an offline update, even when no update is available as well as the new warning message after running dnf. I don’t have any pending/available FW updates.

Thanks, I forgot that the problem is with the dbx key.

Curious here. Doesn’t normal dnf updates include firmwares? Why have to run these command separately? Thanks.
