This is the original bug for deb fwupd: 
https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-installer/issues/2371
This is the original bug for snap fwupd: 
https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/issues/6264

The problem is that fwupd (both deb and snap) don't understand the
layout that TPM FDE uses.

As mentioned in https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-
installer/issues/2371#issue-1940392263 about the deb problem:

> fwupd is not aware of this layout.
In order for a firmware update to work, fwupd expects to be able to create a 
new NVRAM boot entry using shim to chainload fwupdx64.efi.

As mentioned in
https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/issues/6264#issuecomment-1764898120 about
the snap problem:

> My take on this issue is that it's because the Ubuntu 23.10 FDE mounts
stuff in a weird location. The ESP is at /run/mnt which isn't something
that the fwupd snap interface understands. It fully expects it to be in
/boot/efi.
