Update Error Error: 500. Reboot and try again

This seems to happen to me every time there’s a system update, but only on one of my Sparks. I can update it through the terminal without any problems, but I haven’t found a fix that lets me do the update from the dashboard settings like on my other Spark.

Does anyone else have this problem, and has anyone found a fix for it?

Sounds like there is some difference in the state between the two systems. Do this on each one:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo fwupdmgr refresh
sudo fwupdmgr get-updates
sudo fwupdmgr update

And see if it helps. If not, there must be some difference in what you have installed between the two that is holding back the suggested update.

Thanks for commenting. I tried the usual manual update via the terminal, and it worked. I also tried your method. It’s up to date for now, but I have a feeling it might cause issues with the next update through the dashboard.
