fwupmgr does not work

Hello, fwupmgr always worked for me, but since a few weeks it stopped working and always throws this error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.fwupd was not provided by any .service files
I use dinit, KDE Plasma and the linux-hardened Kernel. I updated all my packages, restarted and tried as root and non-root user.
("Verbindung mit dem Daemon ist fehlgeschlagen", means that it can't connect to the daemon)
Has anyone an idea, on how I can fix this? Thanks!

Some examples:

[laptop ~]# fwupdmgr security

[laptop ~]# fwupdmgr refresh

[laptop ~]# fwupdmgr update

You want to talk about fwupd?
Code: [Select]
pacman -Ss fwupd
world/fwupd 2.0.8-1
    Simple daemon to allow session software to update firmware
world/fwupd-docs 2.0.8-1
    Simple daemon to allow session software to update firmware - documentation
world/fwupd-efi 1.7-1
    EFI Application used by uefi-capsule plugin in fwupd
If so, you have some useful information here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fwupd

Daemon is running? ;)  Try start it with: fwupd & (as root)

Edit: looked at the package.. seems like it is in /usr/lib/fwupd/

Hi all, I had this problem and I use dinit and kde too.

I've solved it by creating a service description file for dinit "/etc/dinit.d/fwupd", like this:

Code: [Select]
type       = process
command    = /usr/lib/fwupd/fwupd
depends-on = dbus
before     = sddm
restart    = true

Then i just ran "sudo dinitctl start fwupd" and "sudo dinitctl enable fwupd".
We need an official fwupd-dinit package in the system repository to fix this for everyone.

I actually see the same issue.

Can you provide an openrc init script to fwupd (add it to the package or add an `fwupd-openrc` package)?

When I manually run `/usr/lib/fwupd/fwupd`, the reported issue persists for me.

Regards!

Look at your system's openrc files, and try to write the "/etc/init.d/fwupd" you need.
Inside the "/etc/init.d/" you should have enough examples, look here too: https://www.funtoo.org/Openrc

I never used openrc but I think it should be something like that:
Code: [Select]
#!/sbin/openrc-run

command="/usr/lib/fwupd/fwupd"
description="Firmware update daemon"
name="fwupd"
respawn_max="0"
respawn_delay="0"

depend() {
    need dbus
}

Don't forget to make it executable "chmod +x /etc/init.d/fwupd", update openrc "rc-update add fwupd default"  and start it "rc-service fwupd start"

Thanks! This also fixed it for me.

Actually, also needs to be told to background.

I created an AUR package fwupd-openrc -- maybe the Artix team wants to add this to their repositories?:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fwupd-openrc

depend() {
