Summary

fwupdmgr get-updates Failed to connect to daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not activate remote peer 'org.freedesktop.fwupd': startup job failed

I used to be able to manually fetch updates. Now I cannot.

I did every debugging and log known to man here: https://discuss.getsol.us/d/11835-speaking-of-fwupd

Identical errors at github: https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/issues/8251 (thanks harvey) looks like success rate for version 2.13 is around 50%...

We are a couple versions behind according to my research.

Thank you all.

Steps to reproduce

fwupdmgr get-updates

Expected result

Expected to see the usual output 1) [there are updates to install] or 2 [no firmware updates available.]

Actual result

fwupdmgr get-updates Failed to connect to daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not activate remote peer 'org.freedesktop.fwupd': startup job failed
