Description Yaniv Kaul 2016-11-21 14:35:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
I'm seeing the following errors in journal:
נוב 21 16:16:21 ykaul.tlv.redhat.com fwupd[2959]: Failed to coldplug: UEFI firmware updating not supported
נוב 21 16:16:21 ykaul.tlv.redhat.com fwupd[2959]: Failed to coldplug: Dell: UEFI capsule firmware updating not supported (0)

I don't have anything that is from Dell. My laptop is Lenovo, so is my keyboard. My screen is ViewSonic...

I don't recall seeing those errors before Fedora 25.

fwupdate-efi-8-2.fc25.x86_64
fwupd-0.7.5-1.fc25.x86_64
fwupdate-libs-8-2.fc25.x86_64

Those are expected messages.  The Dell support doesn't work because it's not a Dell system.  UEFI capsule support doesn't work if you don't have a machine with UEFI capsule.

I wasn't complaining that it doesn't work, I was complaining it's a bogus message.
If you do not wish to fix it, fine.

I've disabled fwupd anyway - I don't see why it should run all the time if it's used every once in a while anyway.
