(Get the code!)
Environment: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on Dell Latitude
When Ubuntu Software tells me about a firmware update available (see picture attached) I can click on update button to apply it.
Actual results
Firmware update disappear for a second and then re-appear without any message, like no action took place
Expected results
We all know that the firmware is loaded somewhere in the system and during the following reboot (at least on my Dell) the BIOS update is applied. But at least I'd expect that the upgrade option doesn't re-appear immediately after the click on the upgrade button and a message like: the firmware will be applied at the next reboot.
Reboot now - Reboot later
I personally think that there will be three things to do to improve UX of the process (and improve security)
- The operation should be done with admin permission, no admin password has been requested
- The firmware notice should disapper after the click on upgrade button
- A message should alert the user that the new BIOS has been installed and will be applied at the next reboot
