fwupd deb 1.3.11-1~focal1
snap-store, Version: 3.38.0-59-g494f078, Rev: 518 (latest/stable)

I can partially reproduce this issue.

I setup a test lvfs server, create a gpg key, create a xml file that bump the bios version, and put the cab file downloaded from lvfs, use the key to sign the xml file, then I can simulate the firmware upgrade repeatedly.

Given above, I use snap-store to upgrade system bios, it works well, but it does not prompt for reboot. Then I manually reboot, the efi app is properly running to upgrade(re-install per my test case) the system bios. After upgrading is done, then it reboots into ubuntu without any problem.

So the real bug is, I can't see the reboot prompt.

As I use the gnome-software deb 3.36.1-0ubuntu0.20.04.0 to run the same test (well, I didn't remove snap-store snap), then I can see the reboot prompt.

The attached log is capture using snap-store to upgrade the BIOS, as I can't see the reboot prompt.
