That no-open fix was specifically for the DFU endpoint wasn't it? So if something like that is what's needed for this scenario probably still needs to be put together.
Alright so I think there are a few more interesting data point that are needed here. 1) What's the kernel got to say about all these disconnects and reconnects? Can you share your dmesg from a boot with fwupd present and running. If you've got some dying hardware, it's possible that fwupd is just behaving badly based upon what it's seeing. 2) It would also be interesting to see what it looks like when fwupd is not running. To see this move the auto start service out the way, power off, power on, share your dmesg, and put it back. # sudo mv /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-software-service.desktop ~ # sudo poweroff <turn on machine> <check dmesg> # sudo mv ~/gnome-software-service.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart 3) Check and see if you can turn off your finger print reader in the BIOS. If you can, that should at least help with this problem for now until we can figure out what's really going on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589585 Title: Ubuntu Software tab Installed refreshing endlessly every 2 seconds Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have fresh installed Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop 32-bit. After each install for years one of the first thing I do is uninstall some of the applications that I don't need to preserve some downloading/installing of applications that I don't need. I opened Ubuntu Software, click on Installed tab and now the problem appears. Every two seconds whole screen gets to gray and refreshing appears which takes 2 seconds. This loops endlessly. It is very frustrating, because Ubuntu Software is unusable in my case. I have asked the question on forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2326701&p=13498876 and one of suggestion was to remove the software and install it back. I did: sudo apt install gnome-software sudo apt purge gnome-software sudo apt autoremove sudo apt autoclean sudo apt install gnome-software Started Ubuntu Software and the problem remains the same. P.S. New problem appeared now Ubuntu Software icon on Launcher is not the same (orange color), but it has changed (white color). But this is not huge problem, just annoyance.
