The log (via Cockpit) shows these errors:

Daemon configuration /etc/fwupd/daemon.conf not found is a duplicate of #1478 and #1479

Error opening directory “/sys/firmware/efi/esrt/entries”: No such file or directory
Is this a UEFI system with UEFI updates turned on in BIOS setup?

@superm1, to respond to your question:

Is this a UEFI system with UEFI updates turned on in BIOS setup?
No, it is not having UEFI updates turned on, but it is a UEFI system bios (Supermicro X9SCM).

If you turn on UEFI bios updates I expect that error around ESRT entries will go away (or your system doesn't support updates that means if that is not possible to populate)
