Something is not right... does anyone have a clue what is wrong and how to fix it?
]]>I immediately ran the command
fwupdmgr get-updates
to check if the firmware update was successful. This was the output:
$ fwupdmgr get-updates
Devices with no available firmware updates:
...
Devices with the latest available firmware version:

Devices that were not updated correctly:
• Embedded Controller (0.1.34 → 0.1.35)
• System Firmware (0.1.62 → 0.1.66)
Devices that have been updated successfully:
• Intel Management Engine (182.10.1196 → 184.83.3874)
Uploading firmware reports helps hardware vendors...

How should I proceed from here on out? It seems like it was caught in a loop during the update process which prevented the machine to boot.
]]>What was/is supposed to start after the firmware is done?
Not sure, I was under the impression it would boot the system normally after finishing.
Anyways, seems like I can't shut down the machine by pressing the power button.
I tried multiple times, even holding the button for about 15 seconds once, no reaction.
The only thing I can do now is letting the battery deplete, I guess.
]]>In any case I doubt you can do much here other than taking the plunge and checking what's going on by doing a reboot/reset. What was/is supposed to start after the firmware is done?
]]>fwupdmgr update
after ensuring there are some updates available by first running
fwupdmgr refresh
and then
fwupdmgr get-updates
At the end of the installation it asked me to reboot my system to wrap things up, so I did. After the
machine had booted up again I saw some Lenovo splash screen telling me it was installing some
updates displaying a progress bar at the bottom. After that process had ended the splash screen
went away leaving a black screen behind.
This happened 30 minutes ago as of writing this post. The power button is showing a green light
and I can hear a fan spinning. I didn't dare shutting down the machine because of fear of
hardware/system damage.
What can I do?
