Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.fwupd': timed out
Hello,
I've updated my Fedora 29 and a following error message appears in the settings window:
Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.fwupd': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)
I also noticed that the same error appears when I run command:
fwupdmgr get-updates
Can anyone help me deal with this problem?
"systemctl status fwupd" or "journalctl -xe" will give you more infos. Add those here pls.
I have the same issue look the results from the comands you provided:
journalctl -xe fev 13 09:35:02 localhost.localdomain org.gnome.Shell.desktop[14129]: libinput error: client bug: timer event3 debounce short: offset negative (-3ms)

@Josec: systemd thinks your fwupd runs fine. if you can see it with "ps auxf| grep fwupd | grep -v grep" (removes grep line from output to avoid confusion :) ) systemd seems to have handled the startup ok. This also means, that i can't help you anymore here.
BUT: I had a problem with tomcat a few days ago, where systemd status showed a healty running daemon, but there wasn't one running. IF ps auxf|grep fwupd .... does not return a running process, you should open a bugreport against systemd, because theire status-call() does not work proper.
