Auto-connection request for `firmware-updater:firmware-updater-support`

Hello, I’d like to request auto-connection of the firmware-updater-support interface for the firmware-updater snap, needed to support TPM/FDE on Ubuntu Desktop.

  • name: firmware-updater
  • description: UI to install firmware updates provided by fwupd
  • snapcraft: snapcraft.yaml
  • upstream: GitHub - canonical/firmware-updater: A firmware updater UI based on fwupd
  • upstream-relation: The Desktop team maintains both the application and the snap
  • interfaces:
    • firmware-updater-support:
      • request-type: auto-connection
      • reasoning: For systems using TPM/FDE the firmware-updater needs to prompt users for their recovery keys before installing a firmware update that affects the TPM state.

Hello! This is a clear +1 (#voteFor) from me for auto-connecting the firmware-updater-support interface for this snap.

Hello @loose! I can see that auto-connecting of the firmware-updater-support is already enabled. Is there anything else we can do from our side?

Ah sorry, I wasn’t aware - snap connections still showed the interface as “manually connected” on my machine. Can I see whether or not auto-connection is enabled in the snapcraft dashboard somewhere? I don’t think there’s anything left to do here then, thanks!

Hey @loose!

You can see the snap-declaration for your snap using snap known --remote snap-declaration series=16 snap-id=EI0D1KHjP8XiwMZKqSjuh6W8zvcowUVP. It contains the information about interfaces connection, but it is not super intuitive.
