Description Ed Santiago 2020-05-03 00:13:29 UTC 
New install of fwupd on a systemd-based gentoo:

    # fwupdmgr get-devices
    [hangs 25 seconds]
    Failed to connect to daemon: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.fwupd': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)

Same with refresh, get-updates.

    # systemctl status fwupd |cat
    ● fwupd.service - Firmware update daemon
