LVFS Triaged Issue: Invalid ESP Partition

Tags

"EspType": "msftdata"
"UpdateError": "failed to run update on reboot"

Summary:

Some firmware updaters need to have the ESP flag set on the EFI boot partition and will return "unsupported" when attempting to query the capsule capabilities. This flag should be set by the distribution installer automatically, but manually created partitions may lack this flag.

Solution:

Set the ESP flag using parted /dev/nvme0nXXX set 1 esp on where /dev/nvme0nXXX is the device node that corresponds to the ESP partition -- then retry the update.
