[SOLVED] How do I install firmware updates? Fedora 39

[SOLVED] How do I install firmware updates? Fedora 39

Hi, no matter how many times I click Restart & Updates..., the integrated firmware update never get's installed. Everything else does as usual, but not this one.

Is there a command line I can use to force install this?

Fedora 39.

EDIT: Solved.

My ESP /boot/efi partition originally created by Windows 11 had no space for the firmware upgrade files, so the upgrade never ran.

I fixed it by resizing it from 100MB to 200MB, now it works well.

Just in case anyone runs into this in the future, the process is unfortunately not as simple as resizing it on GParted because of a bug in libparted https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649324 but there is a workaround in the comments.
