Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, performing a firmware update with fwupd triggers a
reboot requirement and prompts the user for confirmation:
An update requires a reboot to complete. Restart now? [y/N]:
After the user approves the reboot, the automatic restart fails with the
following error:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.login1.BlockedByInhibitorLock: Operation
denied due to active block inhibitor
Despite this error, manually rebooting the system works without any
issues, and the firmware update is successfully applied after the manual
restart.
Expected behavior
After firmware installation completes, fwupd should be able to initiate
a system reboot successfully without being blocked by an active
inhibitor lock.
Actual behavior
fwupd stages the firmware capsule successfully but fails to reboot the
system automatically due to:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.login1.BlockedByInhibitorLock: Operation denied due
to active block inhibitor
A manual reboot is required to complete the firmware update process.
