Firmware Updates and Update Messages on an Older Computer running Linux Ubuntu

After I upgraded my Linux Ubuntu computer to version 25.10 , I kept getting the message " Firmware available for KEK CA ". I searched Gemini AI for an explanation and, possibly, for a fix, and this was the answer I got: Click here for answer. So I opened the Terminal and typed in " sudo fwupdmgr update " (no quotes); (Gemini did not include "sudo" but you might have to include it to make things work correctly.)  After I ran the command in the Terminal I received the message: " WARNING: UEFI capsule updates not available or enabled in firmware setup See https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/wiki/PluginFlag:capsules-unsupported for more information. Devices with the latest available firmware version:  • UEFI CA Devices with no available firmware updates:   • Fujitsu BIOS DB Certificate  • Fujitsu BIOS KEK Certificate  • DB  • KEK  • KEK CA  • MQ01ABD100  • Option ROM UEFI CA  • Phoenix Kek Example  • SBAT  • WD20SDRW-11VUU...

Background I recently decided that, rather than upgrading my Linux Ubuntu OS for the umpteenth time, I would do a fresh (new) install of version 24.04. As usual, everything went well, except for one minor (actually MAJOR) keyboard problem I had immediately after booting up the new Ubuntu install: When trying to type a capital "E" using the Right-Shift key, I got nothing. I still was able to use the Left-Shift key + e to form my capital E, but I am an extremely high-volume writer and that solution is not sustainable long-term.  What I Tried (aka, Useless Forums) Okay, based on my ultimate revelation...

Installing Donation Version of FreeFileSync to Replace Free Flatpak Version

If we post it, we've tried it and it works. As with all our posts, if you don't care about the background info, you can head straight to the yellow highlighted section s for the problem and the fix.) SITUATION BRIEFING: When I first installed FreeFileSync, instead of just downloading the free (non-donation copy) from the FFS website , I decided to install the Flatpak version I found in Gnome Software. I don't want to say necessarily that was a mistake—but it would turn out to be a minor inconvenience when I later purchased and installed the Donation Edition of FFS.  I had only been using the free version of FFS for about a month when I decided to make a donation and opt for the Donation version of the software. Now, on the FFS web site I was reassured that I did not need to worry about uninstalling th...
