To do this, rely on the AppStream ID to map to a translated string (providing a
fallback for clients that do not care) and switch the free-form result string
into a set of enumerated values that can be translated.
This fixes some of the problems where some things have to be enabled to "pass"
and other attributes have to be some other state. For cases where we want the
user to "do" something, provide a URL to a wiki page that we update out-of-band
of fwupd releases.
The HSI specification assigns a simple text ID to the current state of firmware
security. As new vulnerabilities are found, and as protection measures are
updated, new requirements will be added to the required firmware behaviours for
each HSI value.
The HSI specification is currently incomplete and in active development, and
so the --force flag is required in all command line tools. The current ID value
will probably change on a given platform so please do not start using the result
for any kind of compliance requirements.
This flag is used internally by plugins to indicate that they will
skip the phase of firmware installation that power cycles a device.
It is intended to be set by quirks or other environment settings.
The returned ID is the result of the SHA1 hash of the actual device ID. This
does not match anything found by the client, and so the install fails.
The symbol is exported as I think the device ID is an important identifier and
used in various fwupd tools.
When backported to the stable branch the verification should just be a static
function in src/fu-engine.c rather than a new symbol.
This means we do not do the GUID or counterpart GUID matching when adding
devices. Only an exact device-id match or when both the physical and logical
IDs match will the device be considered the 'same'.
This is to handle devices that could share the same GUIDs in both child and
parent modes where the logical ID differs.
```
ok 10 /fwupd/client{remotes} # SKIP no valid daemon: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.fwupd': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)
ok 11 /fwupd/client{devices} # SKIP no valid daemon: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.fwupd': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)
```
Doing this unconditionally means we accidentally 'bleed' one device mode into
another in a non-obvious way. For instance, a device might have two operating
modes with different GUIDs. If firmware is supplied for both modes in the same
cabinet archive then we might accidentally match the 'wrong' firmware when
the daemon has observed a mode switch and added the counterpart GUIDs.
We only really need the counterpart GUIDs when switching between Jabra, 8bitdo
and DFU devices where the DFU bootloader VID:PID is not manually tagged with
`CounterpartGuid` in a quirk file. In the general case lets keep it simple to
avoid difficult to find bugs.
Switch to downloading the signature first, which we can then load to get the
suffixed build-specific URL of the actual metadata file. You need to have
libjcat 0.1.1 installed and fwupd built against the new version for this to
work.
Fixes https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/issues/391
A Jcat file can be used to store GPG, PKCS-7 and SHA-256 checksums for multiple
files. This allows us to sign a firmware or metadata multiple times (perhaps
by the OEM and also then the LVFS) which further decentralizes the trust model
of the LVFS.
The Jcat format was chosen as the Microsoft catalog format is nonfree and not
documented. We also don't want to modify an existing .cat file created from WU
as this may make it unsuitable to use on Windows.
More information can be found here: https://github.com/hughsie/libjcat
When CPU microcode is distributed it typically is versioned in
hexadecimal in all tools. Converting it to any of the existing version
formats provides an unexpected result that requires converting back to
hexadecimal.
This does 'bleed' the metadata contents into areas previously covered by quirks,
but in this case may be pragmatic and more up to date than a build-time
generated quirk file, which increases the user-friendliness of fwupdmgr.
Some hardware does not handle upgrading from version 1.2.2 to 1.2.4 and instead
needs to be upgraded from 1.2.2->1.2.3->1.2.4 so that on-device metadata can be
migrated correctly.
Add a new per-device flag `install-all-releases` which causes the daemon to not
skip directly to the newest release. This is designed to be set from a quirk
file.
This can obviously only be used for devices that can apply firmware "live" and
thus do not need a reboot or system shutdown to actually apply the firmware.
This also needs the cabinet archive to ship multiple versions of the firmware,
and for the metainfo.xml file to refer to multiple release objects.
These are devices that we have to be careful with the version numbers, for
instance only updating from versions that have already had data migration
completed.
The new flag can be set in quirk files or on the objects directly.
Dell does not include the first byte in the ESRT value, ignoring it. Using a
`quad` means we get versions like `0.1.4.0` rather than `1.4.0` which confuses
both users comparing versions to the vendor website, and also anyone trying to
do analysis on the firmware.
Add various fixes to enable us to build a selection of useful USB plugins.
Also, skip tests that don't make sense on WIN32 or that will not work.
With much help from Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@dell.com> -- Thanks!
Somewhat embarrassingly we were not actually showing the 8bitdo manual detach
images because... we were not actually exporting them. I don't know how this
ever worked in GNOME Software, but it would also explain the low 'success' rate
of the 8bitdo firmware on the LVFS.
This will also be used by Logitech in the future for the C1 Unifying devices.
To work in gnome-softare, this also needs the matching functionality to call
gs_app_add_screenshot() with the new exported data.
When the LVFS switches over to outputting <issues> rather than appending to the
update description we need to be in a position to display the new data.
This allows the daemon to set the base directory to store remotes.
This fixes issues with systemd where the installation prefix was set
to soemthing not writable such as `/usr/local` but systemd
`STATE_DIRECTORY` doesn't match up.

It should also hopefully help with immutable systems.
Users are getting confused when they're being told that AC power is required
when they are already on AC power... but the battery is too low to perform the
update.
Rather than wrapping every sync D-Bus call with a GTask helper (hundreds of
additional lines of code and dozens of new entrypoints in libfwupd) I think it
is best for client software wanting async operation just uses the D-Bus
interface. I consider it part of the API as much as the shared library and
I don't see it changing in a non-compatible way any time soon.
Exposing these already-exported symbols allows client software to use the
demarshalling functionality and to operate on the GObjects directly from an
existing GDBus async return value.
I'm getting a bit fed up with failed reports from arch users where they just
have a broken system. I don't think it's useful to upload to the LVFS or notify
the vendor about failures like this.
This allows several things, for instance:
* Adding or removing blacklisted plugins or devices
* Changing the idle timeout where allowed
...without a user needing to manually modify a configuration file.
Some firmwares only update one part of the system, e.g. the EC or ME firmware.
Other updates include all the updates needed for the whole system, and vendors
have been doing different things with the component name due to this.
To fix, add an enumerated set of firmware 'categories' that can be set by the
uploader in the metainfo.xml file (or changed the LVFS) which automatically
set the name suffix.
Only append the translated version in the client when <categories> has
not been set, as the LVFS is still operating in compatibility mode and setting
the <name> with the prefix. Add the support to fwupd now so we can switch in
about 9 months time.
On some hardware the SHA1 checksum is not set and so we want to use the SHA256
hash value as well.
The LVFS doesn't currently read the ChecksumDevice value and so nothing will
explode serverside when changing this type from 'string' to 'array of strings'.
This allows us to one day implement 'reinstall', allows us to have a more useful
`get-releases` command and also means we can add other reasons for blocking the
release in the future.
In the future we'll want to use this flag to signify if the release is an
upgrade, downgrade, below the version-lowest, or if it is locked in some way.
This feature is turned on with the new fwupdtool option `--enable-json-state`
The intended use case is for ChromeOS to be able to save information about
devices on the system when `fwupdtool update` was run to display in the UX at
a later time.
This is intended for devices that it is not safe to immediately activate
the firmware. It may be called at a more convenient time instead.
Both fwupdmgr and fwupdtool support the feature.
- if called at runtime with fwupdmgr it uses the daemon
- during shutdown fwupdtool uses the pending.db to perform this feature.
This also allows us to write mixed-endian structures and adds tests. As part of
this commit we've also changed the API of something that's not yet been in any
tarball release, so no pitchforks please.
This allows hardware from OEMs to *not* match generic firmware supplied by the
device manufacturer. The idea being, that the OEM will supply firmware that
will actually work on the device.
Based on a patch from Mario Limonciello, many thanks.
