<h2><a href="#working-around-fwupd-bug-on-linux-distributions">Working around fwupd bug on Linux distributions</a></h2>
<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>
<pre>sudo systemctl stop fwupd.service</pre>
