I see this process on start up pinging somewhere but it never does anything lol
Probably because your hardware’s firmware is up to date or there’s nothing available.
It’s rare that it’s updated.
Check your journal or
systemctl status fwupd.servicefwupdmgr get-historyThank you!
No problem.
The only reason i know this is because systemd throws degraded warnings because fwupd keeps failing. On several machines. (Because DNS, proxies, VPN, etc.)
In xfce there’s a panel tool called genmon I use.
I have 2 specifically for monitoring systemd status
First is just the status
systemctl is-system-runningThe other lists the failed units using a script
failedd (){ systemctl --failed | grep -o -E "●.{0,35}\<failed" 2>/dev/null }
echo $(failedd)Mint cinnamon has a similar “spice” (panel plugin) that I also use.
