Please answer the following questions:

Operating system and version:
Manjaro linux
How did you install fwupd (ex: from source, pacman, apt-get, etc):
I have installed it using pacman

I simply cannot update to latest RQR24.06_B0030 firmware on C-U0008 receiver.

Hi, I'm trying to fix a bricked Logitech MK520 mouse and keyboard combo. Followed instructions here: #655 but I'm getting the same 'not-child' error here.

kacpi2442 · 2019-04-07T12:19:38Z

I have actually managed to install RQR24.06_B0030 by myself.
Here is what i did:

$ git clone https://github.com/Logitech/fw_updates.git
$ cd fw_updates/RQR24/RQR24.06/lvfs
$ nano com.logitech.Unifying.RQR24.metainfo.xml

Comment out lines 62-67:

<!--    <firmware compare="regex" version="RQK62.00_*">not-child</firmware>
    <firmware compare="regex" version="RQK63.0[01]_*">not-child</firmware>

    <firmware compare="regex" version="MPK03.0[0-1]_*">not-child</firmware>
    <firmware compare="regex" version="MPK04.00_*">not-child</firmware> -->

$ make
$ sudo fwupdmgr install Logitech-Unifying-RQR24.06_B0030.cab

It works flawlessly.

kacpi2442 · 2019-04-07T12:28:57Z

@agustinventura
Try this, maybe it will work for you too:

$ git clone https://github.com/Logitech/fw_updates.git
$ cd fw_updates/RQR12/RQR12.08/lvfs
$ nano com.logitech.Unifying.RQR12.metainfo.xml

Comment out lines 62-67:

$ make
$ sudo fwupdmgr install Logitech-Unifying-RQR12.08_B0030.cab

(I have only changed RQR24.06 to RQR12.08)

LinuxOnTheDesktop · 2019-04-07T13:35:52Z

I have the same problem, on Linux Mint 19.1 x64 Cinnamon. Details as follows.

agustinventura · 2019-04-07T16:34:17Z

@kacpi2442 it works!!! You made my day, thanks!!!

LinuxOnTheDesktop · 2019-04-07T16:38:03Z

It worked for me too, which is good and I am grateful.

Less good is the continuing error message from fwupdmgr.

hughsie · 2019-04-08T10:45:48Z

I'm working on this now.

This ensures that child devices are updated before the receiver as the update protocol may be changed during the update. Fixes #1139

taupehat · 2019-04-10T00:01:15Z

Confirmed both problem and fix in Fedora 28.

LinuxOnTheDesktop · 2019-04-25T19:39:02Z

Any chance of pushing the fix to my machine? I have Mint 19.1.

hughsie · 2019-04-25T19:46:23Z

You need to file a bug with Mint and ask them to update fwupd. There's nothing I can do.

superm1 · 2019-04-25T22:02:26Z

If mint doesn't want to do it, you can possibly use the snap instead: https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/wiki/fwupd-snap

LinuxOnTheDesktop · 2019-04-27T21:22:24Z

I installed the snap, and now things seem rather messed up:

superm1 · 2019-04-27T23:03:34Z

Can you please share fwupdmgr --version with the snap? You installed from standard channel or edge channel? Also please share get-devices output.

LinuxOnTheDesktop · 2019-04-28T00:31:11Z

Thanks.

I used this command to instatt the snap version of fwup: snap install fwupd --classic. As to version:

$  fwupdmgr --version
client version:	1.1.1
daemon version:	1.2.8

superm1 · 2019-04-28T11:25:23Z

You're not running the fwupdmgr from the snap.
You must still have one in /use/bin or /usr/local/bin.

You can try fwupd.fwupdmgr or remove your other fwupd installation.

LinuxOnTheDesktop · 2019-04-28T17:29:18Z

Thanks. After removing remnants of my old installation, now I see this:

 $  fwupdmgr refresh

superm1 · 2019-04-29T18:42:51Z

You can try to install selinux-utils to see if that helps.

LinuxOnTheDesktop · 2019-04-29T22:27:00Z

Yes, I did try that. No dice. I could not get the flatpak version of fwupd to work either. At this point I give up. Mint is due an update in June and perhaps the Mint team will update fwupd before that anyway. Either way, I think I will just wait.

EDIT: I tried building from source but I encountered meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Meson version is 0.45.1 but project requires >=0.47.0.

Bass850 · 2019-12-19T10:10:43Z

I have actually managed to install RQR24.06_B0030 by myself.
Here is what i did:

$ git clone https://github.com/Logitech/fw_updates.git
$ cd fw_updates/RQR24/RQR24.06/lvfs
$ nano com.logitech.Unifying.RQR24.metainfo.xml

Comment out lines 62-67:

$ make
$ sudo fwupdmgr install Logitech-Unifying-RQR24.06_B0030.cab

It works flawlessly.

Sorry but I have to recheck. Seems to work at first but then after running fwupdmgr again it still says that update to firmware B0036 is available and fails to update to that...

BUT

After doing update to 30 the above described way and then rerunning fwupdmgr -v -v update a couple of times it did update to 36.

So combination of above posts worked for me.
