Can't upgrade Logitech unify Firmware using fwupd
I tested all (probably most) of the solutions that are online. And the solution that worked (I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 Live) is the following:
Remove the
apt
version offwupd
withsudo apt remove fwupd
Because the current repository version of Ubuntu 18.04 seems to be
client version: 1.0.9
checkout info: 1.0.9
This is a problem, because this version yields the following error:
cannot handle firmware requirement not-child
Replace it with the
snap
version offwupd
which also (maybe) installssnap
, too.sudo snap install fwupd --classic
The current
snap
version on the other hand provides a newer version which works without this complication. Its version is (as of July 2019)
client version: 1.2.10
checkout info: 1.2.10
As of June 2020, the following is valid
client version: 1.4.3
daemon version: 1.4.3
With this current version, execute
fwupdmgr refresh
And finally, execute the update
fwupdmgr update
Now test the version with
fwupdmgr get-devices | grep -A30 "Unifying Receiver" | grep -i "version:"
Its output should be (as of 03.10.2020):
Current version: RQR12.10_B0032
