Comment 8 for bug 1811169

Maybe a small detail which may have an impact: the laptop has SecureBoot enabled by default.
During the installation, the Ubuntu installer made me go about setting a password.

After installing Virtualbox I noticed that I had to do some extra steps into signing the compiled kernel module.

I have followed the procedures correctly, but afterwards decided to turn off Secure Boot just to not wanting to deal with the upgrade hassle in the future.

I don't remember between which boots I disabled SecureBoot and when I started the firmware update successfully.

I do remember the annoyance of the firmware upgrade processes beeping every couple of seconds during the long procedure, in an open workspace environment. Because it's usually a bad idea to terminate a firmware flash right in the middle I had to run away with my "ticking timebomb". But I divert, this has nothing to do with actually setting up the firmware upgrade through Gnome-Software/fwupd.
