I've got a bunch of machines that I've updated to Fedora 31 from a
previous version using dnf:
<https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/dnf-system-upgrade/>
On several machines I get a scary notification error message every time I
boot.
Software Updates Failed
Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd:
Timeout was reached
This is a known bug with fwupd that has been fixed. But it seems to not
be fixed enough. There is a work-around:
sudo dnf autoremove
That not only fixes/avoids the bug, but on my systems gets rid of a lot of
packages that I didn't install and are no longer needed.
Summary: just do autoremove and things will be better.
