Bug Description
The fix for this particular issue is tracked in SRU bug https:/
Regression potential:
Fixes for this particular bug would have the risk to manifest in devices not showing up in gnome-software, but this risk is very low.
Test case:
1) Run a UEFI firmware update from Gnome software.
2) Make sure that the update disappears from the listing after pressing the update button.
Original bug:
Ubuntu 17.10
On a dell latitude 5580, the firmware update seems to not work while it actually does.
1. Gnome software reports there is a new firmware update.
2. I click "update now"
3. The update disappears for a few seconds, then reappears.
4. When I reboot my laptop, the laptop goes into firmware update modus, updates the firmware, and starts Ubuntu.
What I expect:
After clicking "update now", Gnome software tells me my computer has to restart the update. Either the update is listed and greyed out with a "reboot required" message, or the update is not visible.

Thank you for your bug report. So the issue there is that it fails to restart the machine when acking the dialog that is supposed to do that, right?
What desktop environment are you using? Could you add your syslog after getting the problem?
