<p>The fwupd software used by many traditional Linux distributions (not Android or
ChromeOS) has a bug breaking connecting to fastboot devices. The web installer
takes slightly longer to connect to the device and is more impacted by this. If
you're on a Linux distribution with fwupd running, stop it before proceeding. You
can do this by running the following command in a terminal:</p>
<p>Debian stable and Ubuntu have an outdated fwupd package with a bug breaking
connecting to Android's bootloader interface (fastboot) while fwupd is running
since it tries to connect to arbitrary devices. This section can be skipped on
Arch Linux and other distributions with fwupd 1.9.10 or later since we reported
the bug and it was fixed. This never impacted Android or ChromeOS.</p>
<p>You can stop fwupd with the following command:</p>
<pre>sudo systemctl stop fwupd.service</pre>
<p>This doesn't disable the service and it will start again on reboot.</p>
