40.14 Yoga Firmware Upgrades

20211111

Yoga is a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 4th Gen. See Section 40.12 for details.

To check if there are firmware updates available:

fwupdmgr get-upgrades

To download the updates:

fwupdmgr update

Firmware Update 20211111

Tried an update but got

missing signed bootloader for secure boot: 
         /usr/libexec/fwupd/efi/fwupdx64.efi.signed cannot be found

This is a Secure Boot issue, so reboot to BIOS and turn Secure Boot off. Then redo the update, reboot, redo the update, reboot, etc until no more updates available. It seems we had to loop to get all the updates. From the BIOS Secure Boot was then re-enabled.

If with Secure Boot off you still see a message about /usr/libexec/fwupd/efi/fwupdx64.efi and /usr/libexec/fwupd/efi/fwupdx64.efi.signed not being found then install fwupd-signed and try the fwupdmgr update again:

wajig install fwupd-signed

Firmware Update 20200406

$ fwupdmgr update
