Software Center is showing me I have two firmware updates ready to be installed:

enter image description here

But each time I click "update", it disappears as if it's loading the install and then instantly reappears. Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT:

Here's the output of sudo apt update:

  • please edit your question and include the output of sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade – Nmath Sep 18 '20 at 02:59
  • @Nmath no problem, edited – snapcrack Sep 18 '20 at 03:55
  • OK, you do have multiple issues with your package management, and some questionable choices in the use of PPA. Ex: mongodb and qbittorrent are both available in the universe repo, so you really shouldn't have a PPA for these unless you absolutely need a feature that's not in the release available in the default channel. There are also errors with the PPA hosting egpu-switcher, but it looks like you fixed them with these commands. – Nmath Sep 18 '20 at 04:15
  • You also have broken packages, and need to run sudo apt autoremove to get rid of them. And you have held back pacakges of mongodb probably because of PPA. You should clear up these issues to allow updates and before trying to install new software – Nmath Sep 18 '20 at 04:16
  • I don't know why it's using PPA or what I even did to make that happen – snapcrack Sep 18 '20 at 16:49
  • When you originally installed the software, you must have added a PPA instead of getting it from the software center or apt. You can remove the PPA, but you should back up any files or databases used by the software, and your configs might need to be readjusted. When you run sudo apt update you want it to end with All packages are up to date without any errors. I don't see the firmware packages in the current output though. Can you get any more info about these packages from the software center? Package names would be helpful. – Nmath Sep 18 '20 at 17:32
