** Description changed: - Two users have reported that fwupd breaks their Ubuntu installation - because the "Ubuntu" EFI boot option disappears after an update. + [Impact] - It might be best to consider turning off firmware updates until this - issue is fixed. + * A few users have reported instances of not being able to boot into Ubuntu after a firmware update. This is suspected to be caused by a missing Ubuntu boot entry. + * fwupdate adds an entry for doing the update to the BootOrder, but doesn't remove it. BIOS auto-creation for making boot entries typically depends on the BootOrder being empty. + + * This affects all releases of fwupdate since the code to add to BootOrder was + also backported into the Ubuntu 16.04 release of fwupdate (0.5-2ubuntu5) + + [Test Case] + + * Perform a UEFI BIOS update after installing this package. + * Ensure the system boots and there is no longer a "Linux Firmware Updater" entry + present in the efibootmgr -v output. + + + [Regression Potential] + + * Regressions are possible to manifest if any BIOS depends on the + previous behavior. + + * The fixes that were backported have been upstream for a few months and no + concerns have been raised upstream from them. + + [Other Info] + Two users have reported that fwupd breaks their Ubuntu installation because the "Ubuntu" EFI boot option disappears after an update.
