[pve-devel] [PATCH docs 2/2] firmware-updates: add group header to fwupd.conf

[Maximiliano Sandoval]

After creating a new config file, either as daemon.conf or fwupd.conf
with the same contents as the example prior to this commit, the
following error will be seen when starting fwupd.service:

Failed to load daemon: failed to load engine: Failed to load config: failed to load /etc/fwupd/fwupd.conf: Key file does not start with a group

Since there are potentially multiple groups, adding this at the end of
the file might result in the key added to the wrong group. The file is
also not present by default, so creating it without the header will also
lead to issues. On the other hand, adding the group multiple times is
not an issue.

Please see `man 5 fwupd.conf` for more details.
