There's security update for the Logitech Unifying Receiver (see Screenshot).

Clicking the button does nothing.

I came across this post https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/109038/logitech-unifying-receiver-security-update/ Updating via command line doesn't work either

$ sudo fwupdmgr update

version of org.freedesktop.fwupd incorrect: failed predicate [0.9.2 ge 0.8.1]

The only Google result for the error message is https://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2017/05/22/updating-logitech-hardware-on-linux/ . But the comment mentioning it doesn't look resolved.

So how do I install the update? Correct me if I'm wrong, but 0.9.2 is greater than or equal 0.8.1 which means the predicate check is just broken?

After grub stopped booting my system at all (boot-repair: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1. Check your device.map) I installed LILO. I know it's not under active development anymore, but I don't have any other options. I'm just happy I can use my PC.

Anyway, as I said in the title the boot takes about ten minutes (it fills like ten lines of dots before finally booting). Which is something I could live with, but it also makes (sometimes necessary) reboots a pain. I tried the compact option which didn't do anything. Ubuntu is installed on a SSD with EXT4 if that matters.

The Laptop is a Lenovo U410 (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0090K8XZ0/). I removed the two drives (HDD+SSD) with a single SSD a few months ago.

The screenshot explains it best

after every reboot HDMI is selected as output device. I always have to switch to Headphones (which in fact are speakers and not headphones). They both work perfectly, but how do I make Headphones the default?. The UI doesn't offer any options for that.
