Trying to upgrade a Thinkstation P500. Trying to make sure F2 is up to date before upgrade to F33.
Keep getting:

Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: Timeout was reached

Runing
journalctl -b -u fwupd
shows:

firmware updates are not required before you system-upgrade from F32 to F33

As for your fwupd problem, have you tried this: Fedora 31: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: Timeout was reached · Issue #1549 · fwupd/fwupd · GitHub (“The issue resolved itself after removing tpm2-abrmd.”)

$ fwupdmgr --version

$ rpm -qa | grep tpm2
tpm2-tools-4.1.3-1.fc32.x86_64
tpm2-tss-2.4.4-1.fc32.x86_64

and
$ rpm -qa | grep ‘tpm2-abrmd’

finds nothing. So no tpm2-abrmd’ that i can find

The problem is the this is blocking akernel update.

what’s the output of sudo dnf update kernel?

The TPM on this box may be disabled or back-level/unsupported.

That is what dnf complains about when attempting to update kernel*?

Your device not appears on the LVFS page ?!

Still have no solution for this. I keep getting

Detailed errors from the package manager follow:

Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: Timeout was reached

Finally got F32 → F33 upgrade to work.

It seems that fedore is very fussy about install sources and some of the IBM POWER install sources have moved (and timed out) . So had to clean those up manually.

I think other distros disable these and give you a warning so you can reinstall what you need after the upgrade.

Fedora normally trows you a message when something is not good anymore. You were just about 2 weeks to late to update, so some repos might not be available anymore. That’s why you got 404 errors.

Next time you just have to save the repolist so that you can see if you find something like this for the newer version too (sudo dnf repolist >>F32reposlist.txt for example). Have a look in the log-files if you find the messages about the IBM stuff.

About your firmware you might have to check on the Lenovo page if you can get an update to make it manually.
