The web installer - takes slightly longer to connect to the device and is more impacted by this. If - you're on a Linux distribution with fwupd running, stop it before proceeding. You - can do this by running the following command in a terminal:</p> + <p>Debian stable and Ubuntu have an outdated fwupd package with a bug breaking + connecting to Android's bootloader interface (fastboot) while fwupd is running + since it tries to connect to arbitrary devices. This section can be skipped on + Arch Linux and other distributions with fwupd 1.9.10 or later since we reported + the bug and it was fixed. This never impacted Android or ChromeOS.</p> + + <p>You can stop fwupd with the following command:</p> <pre>sudo systemctl stop fwupd.service</pre> + + <p>This doesn't disable the service and it will start again on reboot.</p> </section> <section id="booting-into-the-bootloader-interface"> |
