Hi,
on my Thinkpad X260, fwupd-refresh.service fails, leaving the following
journal:
[3/4996]mh@drop:~ $ sudo systemctl status fwupd-refresh.service | cat

This is not helpful.
Judging from looking at the unit, I called up fwupdmgr manually:
[5/4998]mh@drop:~ $ sudo /usr/bin/fwupdmgr refresh
WARNING: UEFI firmware can not be updated in legacy BIOS mode
See https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/wiki/PluginFlag:legacy-bios for more information.
Firmware metadata last refresh: 3 minutes ago. Use --force to refresh again.

I'd have expected to see this in the journal.
Greetings
