Arch Linux

Are you sure you updated your whole system?

If you have `tpm2-abrmd` installed you need at least `tpm2-tss` 2.3.0.

Can you post the output of the following commands?
```
pacman -Qi tpm2-abrmd
pacman -Qi tpm2-tss
```

I am fairly certain `pacman -Syu` will solve your issue.

Yes, I'm sure my system is up-to-date.

tpm2-tss is version 2.3.1-3.

Stangely, I had tpm2-abrmd 2.2.0-2 installed (it's in the community repo), but removing it "systemctl start fwupd" works. So, it looks like tpm2-abrmd is the culprit, or its interplay with tpm2-tss and/or fwupd...

Weird, are you able to reinstall it and provide a backtrace so that we can identify the issue?

Yes, sure. After stopping fwupd, reinstalling and starting tpm2-abrmd, and restarting fwupd (with failure), I find this in my dmesg

[28299.216974] traps: fwupd[42401] trap int3 ip:7fb8db0f9176 sp:7ffd63203f10 error:0 in libglib-2.0.so.0.6200.0[7fb8db0b1000+81000]

I hope this helps...

Eh, how silly of me. This happens because the uefi plugin is set to not tolerate GDEBUG, it should be fixed by 8b98b1cbd9d96479510faca3aed5bfdeff16066b. My bad for wasting your time, I have been a bit distracted this afternoon.

Just to confirm, could you try the following PKGBUILD?

```

yep, it works! (although building the package fails at the check() stage , saying "2/14 fwupd-self-test FAIL 25.26 s (killed by signal 6 SIGABRT)", I just commented the "meson test" line in the PKGBUILD).

Thanks for your help.

Okay, thank you. I will backport the patch tomorrow.
