Firmware drivers will not install

[hozza]

Issue Description

There are firmware updates available in the Software Center (Vanilla OS 2) for my Thinkpad T480s, but they will not install (even with AC plugged in) during a reboot. BIOS says something along the lines of the firmware update files cannot be found.

Steps to Reproduce

• Open Software Center
• See Firmware updates in the picture
• Download & Reboot
• BIOS seems to know files are ready for install but then says it cannot find them

On what version of Vanilla OS this happens?

Unreleased

Additional Information

I'm not sure if this is a Vanilla OS issue or a hardware specific issue TBH.

You will probably have to add the "EFI system" tag to the boot partition to fix this.
(You can do it in the Gnome Disks app)
It's a common problem in older installs.

I can see on Gnome Disks that I have a "vos-boot" and a "vos-efi" partition. This is Vanilla OS 2, installed last week and the laptop was made in 2020.

Where do I find the tag option (I can only see label) and to which volume/partition should I apply it?

[taukakao]

Select vos-boot, choose "Edit Partition" with the settings button beneath it, then choose EFI System under Generic at the top for the Type, tick the box that says "Legacy BIOS Bootable" and apply

Seems to duplicate Vanilla-OS/vision#2
