The fwupd systemd service file contains ConditionPathExists=/var/lib/fwupd/pending.db, causing any fwupdmgr dbus requests to fwupd to time out if this file does not exist:

Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.fwupd': timed out
After removing the line, everything works just fine, afaict (haven't done any actual fw updates). Why is it necessary?
Additionally, there is very little information on what that file actually is or how I can create it? Creating it as an empty file causes fwupd to segfault on startup.

Thanks

I confirm the issue, but here removing that line doesn’t fix it, it’s still timing out. However instead of the non existing file error, I get a Main process exited, code=exited, status=217/USER.

What does starting fwupd --verbose manually (as root) say?

So the daemon can start; I'm not sure why systemd wouldn't see the bus name.

Sorry, forget it, I just saw that this utility is not for my system.
