Firmware bug

[Nikolaj Hansen]

Hi,

After upgrading the system firmware :

 • System Firmware (0.1.61 → 0.1.62)

The system became unable to communicate with connected thunderbolt devices. Monitors where hopping and flickering making the system completely unusable.

A downgrade to 0.1.61 have mitigated the problem.

Sorry to hear this happened; but in this case fwupd is the conduit to delivering the firmware update from your manufacturer. There is nothing to be done in the package to help with your regression.

I suggest you report it to your manufacturer.
