Description of problem: gnome-software and fwupdmgr fail to install the latest BIOS update on my Dell XPS13 (9360). The tools say everything is prepared to perfrom the update on the next boot, but nothing happens. I looked a little bit closer and it seems no EFI Boot entry is created to boot into the tool that actually perfroms the BIOS update. Side note: I just a week ago while still being on F26 I installed a BIOS update using gnome-software and it work flawlessly Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fwupd-0.9.7-1.fc27.x86_64 Steps to Reproduce: [thl@xps13 ~]$ sudo efibootmgr -v BootCurrent: 0002 Timeout: 0 seconds BootOrder: 0002 Boot0000* ubuntu HD(1,GPT,1581e109-84e9-4f02-9163-7491ab8d9362,0x800,0xfa000)/File(\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi) Boot0002* Fedora HD(1,GPT,1581e109-84e9-4f02-9163-7491ab8d9362,0x800,0xfa000)/File(\EFI\fedora\shim.efi) [thl@xps13 ~]$ sudo fwupdmgr update && echo $?

Found a hint what's wrong in the log when trying gnome-software again: Sep 28 16:10:38 xps13 gnome-software[2165]: failed to call gs_plugin_update_app on fwupd: UEFI firmware update failed: {error #0} /builddir/build/BUILD/fwupdate-9/linux/libfwup.c:1193 get_fd_and_media_path(): open of /boot/efi/EFI/EFI/fedora/fw/fwupdate-rlS8C0.cap failed: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden The "Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden" is basically "file or directory not found. And that's correct, as there is one "EFI/" to much in the path here.
