fwupd VS gnome-shell-extension-appindicator

UEFI firmware can not be updated in legacy BIOS modeSee https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/wiki/PluginFlag:legacy-bios for more information.Use fwupdmgr --help for help

A similar bug, but featuring a different file and checksum, from today.

The more user-friendly distros have support for updating the UEFI secure boot dbx (forbidden binaries) database via fwupd, but due to the circumstances around this update, they currently don't/don't do it correctly. MS isn't doing it automatically themselves yet either so we're not any worse off. There's an open issue around handling this. I suspect it'll take a couple of months before this to-be-written support finds its way into distros. It's complex, annoying and the result of it going wrong is a system that can't boot Windows and can't boot from preexisting Windows recovery media. Distros will want to be very careful with it. I suspect they'll roll it out in stages with single-boot systems getting patched first and possibly interactive user confirmation.

Use fwupd

These updates are coming from fwupd and LVFS. The frontend is Gnome Software. Lenovo is pushing their firmware updates to LVFS, so you're updating with vendor code. Its a lot like getting device drivers and what-not through Windows Update.

Would be good to put some pressure on them to use this.

If you use Gnome as DE, you also have to install this Gnome extension for fcitx5 to work.

GNOME Extensions : quick-settings-tweaker, appindicator and KStatusNotifier, arcmenu, blur-my-shell, dash-to-panel, forge, gsconnect, just-perfection, show-desktop-button, space-bar, user-themes and vitals

I'm currently using 4 extensions.

system-monitor (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/120/system-monitor/). It is nice to see my CPU and memory usage at a glance with some history. I don't look too often but it can be good for understanding how builds are progressing, check that my software is utilizing parallelism well and see when things are in an infinite loop gobbling RAM.

Clipboard History (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4839/clipboard-histor...)

I can't live without a clipboard manager, this seems to do a decent job.

Bing Wallpaper (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1262/bing-wallpaper-c...)

I don't see my wallpaper often but when I open the menu or log in it is nice to have a new beautiful picture.

AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-supp...)

I like icons in my toolbar.

- Pop Shell for i3-like tiling (fuck stacking) _remove from store (?)_- Workspace indicator by open apps: I need to know what's in my dynamic workspaces, not just a simple indicator or number _little ad, developed by me_- AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support for tray icons (background apps)

Have you tried using this extension? that's the extension that pop os and ubuntu uses, for me it worked as expected with league on fedora

You need to install an extension like this one.

Use a different extension: AppIndicator an KStatusNotifierItem Support, conveniently packaged as gnome-shell-extension-appindicator.

it's this one. no idea if it's standard or I added it, this is a system that was upgraded from F34. but the microstutters were driving me nuts and disabling it fixed it for good. I've moved over to the Trayicons Reloaded extension, as I need the tray icons for various apps and this issue hadn't occurred since.

It is probably hidden in the tray that doesn't exist. You could use this extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/
