If you (or anyone else) reproduce it on a "working" Kubuntu system by running fwupdmgr as Richard mentioned it will only be temporary that it was reproduced. fwupdmgr uses dbus activation to start fwupd. Typically fwupd isn't run by default in Kubuntu for reasons Richard described.
When you were to kill the fwupd process or reboot you are back to your previous behavior. On Mon, May 30, 2016, 13:05 Jay Bowles <penguinc...@outlook.com> wrote: > Ah, I see!!
