After reboot however the firmware does not get updated, and it cleanly boots
into Debian. System firmware stays at 0.1.66. Variants I've tried:
* Disabling secure boot
* Removing fwupd-amd64-signed
* Shutdown and cold boot
* Running from single user mode (requires starting dbus and NetworkManager)
I have successfully updated the firmware of this Thinkpad T490 in the past. I've
also tried debugging it to some extent, two fwupd-*.cap files are generated in
/boot/efi/EFI/debian/fw/, however I don't quite know how they should interact
with the UEFI firmware.
If you have any further suggestions how to debug this further, let me know.
Regards,
Lee
