I don't use Discover. I use fwupdmgr directly. I have not seen
fwupdmgr refuse to update a component (sans no UEFI). Here's the
relevant piece of the script I run daily:
if command -v fwupdmgr >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
if fwupdmgr get-devices 2>&1 | grep -q -c 'UEFI ESRT device' ; then
echo "Updating firmware"
fwupdmgr refresh --force 1>/dev/null && \
fwupdmgr update 1>/dev/null
fi
fi
I also noticed the db was updated today.
