+Stopping fwupd daemon
+=====================
+
+The :ref:`nrf_desktop_config_channel` is also used in the `Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) <LVFS_>`_ by the Nordic HID plugin of ``fwupd``.
+Several Linux-based operating systems run the ``fwupd`` daemon in the background to manage firmware updates.
+
+Configuring a connected HID device simultaneously with multiple host tools is not supported.
+If multiple host tools configure a HID device at the same time, the configuration channel transport implementation in the firmware might mix requests and responses coming from various host tools.
+Make sure to stop the ``fwupd`` daemon before using the HID configurator script.
+
+Ubuntu example
+--------------
+
+To either stop or start the ``fwupd`` daemon on Ubuntu, run one of the following commands:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+    :class: highlight
+
+    sudo systemctl stop fwupd
+    sudo systemctl start fwupd
+
+To check the status of the ``fwupd`` daemon on Ubuntu, run the following command:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+    :class: highlight
+
+    systemctl status fwupd
+
