Cannot update firmware for Logitech G613 wireless usb keyboard.

I have a new Logitech G613 keyboard. Logitech offers a tool to update the keyboard’s firmware which, of course, is a Windows program. As one might expect, the program won’t install under Wine, so I installed it in a VMWare Player 15.5.6 virtual Windows 10 machine. The program installs and runs fine, however, it looks for a USB wireless keyboard and cannot find it. I receive the message, “There is no wireless receiver plugged into your device.” I don’t know, but I imagine the keyboard is being passed to the virtual machine as some kind of virtual device, while its identity is held by OpenSuse so that it can work in both the virtual machine and Linux. Is there a way to make the virtual machine recognize the keyboard as a native device so that the update program can access it?

Hi
That’s why fwupdate was invented… Switch to root user and run;

Thanks, Malcolm. Unfortunately, fwupdmgr doesn’t detect any upgradeable devices. I’m glad to know about it, though.

Hi
I would check a live version of Tumbleweed (eg the rescue one) and see if a later version works better…

Hi
Looks like the G613 isn’t supported (yet?), maybe ask Logitech when it will be?

Thanks. I’ll do that.

Maybe

fwupdmgr update

?

Hi
AFAIK the device firmware is not on the site, if it’s not there… how will it update? Device is also a keyboard, not a ‘system’ update…

Cannot find parameter “upgrade” for “fwupdmgr”.
