Firmware stuck with reboot flag

[CJL]

Upon logging in to KDE plasma, I find a notification that 'the system needs to be restarted for the updates to take effect', even when I'm logging in from a reboot.
On further analysis, I get this output from "fwupdmgr get-devices":

I don't know what the require-ac flag means, or why the needs-reboot flag isn't being cleared on reboot, so any insight into why this is happening would be highly appreciated.

[p.H]

I don't know what the require-ac flag means

I guess it means "requires AC (mains) power supply".

[sgosnell]

Those flags mean, AFAIK, that for an update the device requires external power and a reboot after the installation. I don't think those flags have anything to do with the current state. KDE seems to have configuration issues IME. I had to give it up in favor of something reliable and stable (Xfce, cough cough).

...Okay, I guess that means that I still don't know what's going on. Thank you for your help. If nothing else, this does tell me that I was on the wrong track.

I have tried periodically to install this update on my Debian system. After a recent attempt to install this update the following message was presented:

Unable to update Unifying as download failed:

I used my cell phone camera to take a photo of error message and then I manually copIed the data to a text file.
Hopefully someone else will know what to do next.

@CAM This topic is nearly 3 years old and your issue seems unrelated to OP. Old topics should generally not be necrobumped.
Please start a new topic with your issue. As it doesn't even seem to be directly Debian related, Off-Topic would be the appropriate subforum.
