jairo_:> USB Diskette on Key/USB Hard Disk00:03
tomreyn<tomreyn> jairo__: first of all, reboot, enter bios, see if you have an option there to install a bios update from a usb attached / "local" storage00:03
jairo_I dont think this is an Option on My bios start up00:04

jairo_it is not downloading00:20
tomreyndownload it on windows then00:21
tomreynand put it on a usb stick00:22
tomreynis your connection stable on windows, though?00:22
tomreyn<tomreyn> download it on windows then00:23
tomreyn<tomreyn> and put it on a usb stick00:23
tomreyn<tomreyn> is your connection stable on windows, though?00:23
tomreynmaybe your internet connection is shaky in general?00:24
tomreyni don't see how we can work like this00:25
jairo_16766824  --  What does it means?00:38
tomreynthe file size of the file you downloaded. thats the correct size, good00:41
tomreynjairo_: so reboot, enter bios, see if you can update bios from there00:41
jairo_wow! I dont think I can do it. lol00:41
jairo_I dont have to use a usb?00:44
tomreynjairo_: probably not, no00:45
Swift110-mobileSup00:49
jairo_tomreyn: Hey there00:54
jairo_Im on my Windows noe00:55
jairo_I am on Setup Utility But I have no idea how to update my bios00:57
tomreynjairo_: so there's no option to 'update bios from local media' or similar?01:00
tomreynpressing F10 during boot may get you there directly01:01
jairo_gnu grub01:02
jairo_*ubuntu01:02
jairo_Advanced Options for Ubuntu01:02
jairo_UEFI Firmware Settings01:03
tomreynjairo_: you ended up on the grub menu. so you either pressed F10 too later or it has no effect01:09
tomreyn*too late or...01:10
jairo_It has no Effect01:15
jairo_tomreyn: by the way, Im not using usb01:19
tomreynjairo_: your system *should* be able to install the firmware update from the efi system partition, where we placed it. but it may need to be prepared differently01:21
tomreynjairo_: if you want to give it another try: mkdir /tmp/hpf; cd /tmp/hpf; sudo 7z e /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New/sp86809.exe; sudo cp *.bin /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New/; sudo cp platform.ini /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New/; sudo cp 02209.bin /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New/firmware.bin01:25
tomreynjairo_: you would then need to reboot again, and try to find an option in the bios to carry out the bios upgrade01:26
tomreynthis is for a different HP model, but should apply similarily for your system (and that's what i'm working by): https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp86501-87000/sp86809.exe01:26
tomreyn"Update System BIOS" should be the option you choose in the beginning after entering "BIOS Setup"01:28
tomreynjairo_: ^01:28
jairo_one min01:28
jairo_The only option I got is Bios Version and Bios Vendor inside of main manu01:30
jairo_could be enything with Legacy Support?01:31
tomreynjairo_: no, it's not about legacy support01:32
=== jairo_ is now known as Jairo_Wind
tomreynpress ctrl-s and ctrl-b in bios setup menu, see if this makes another menu appear01:32
Jairo_Windjust a beep sound on both commands01:34
Jairo_Windtomreyn: Where r u from?01:35
=== jairo is now known as Guest96566
tomreynthe internets01:38
tomreyni don't think you can upgrade the bios this way if therte's no support for it on your existing bios. you'll need to do it from a windows installation then01:39
Jairo_Windmkdir /tmp/hpf; cd /tmp/hpf; sudo 7z e /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New/sp86809.exe; sudo cp *.bin /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New/; sudo cp platform.ini /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New/; sudo cp 02209.bin /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New/firmware.bin01:39

Jairo_linuxone last question, with all the information I provided here, is possible that someone use this info to hack my computer?01:48
tomreynJairo_linux: no, there's no danger there.01:53
tomreynJairo_linux: if someone was able to and really wanted to do this they would have a little bit more information *maybe* making it a little bit easier, but they'd still need to attack you by other means, probably involving your cooperation01:54
Jairo_WindJust a curiosity, there is nothing to hack in this pc Its fresh installed01:55
tomreynif none of thios works out, you should clean up this way in the end (make double sure you type this exactly like this):   sudo rm -r /boot/efi/EFI/HP01:56
Jairo_Windwhat does it do?01:57
tomreynJairo_Wind: it removes the firmware update files we placed on your efi system partition. this is just to clean up, so you don't run out of space there.02:07
tomreynyou could also keep those, if you want to try again later02:07
IrcsomeBot<Zoth_Ommog> Why does kde constantly drop usb connection? It powers my cooler pad but doesn't detect MTP, mouse, phones02:19
IrcsomeBot<Zoth_Ommog> And is there any way to contact kubuntu about wifi signal being extremely low?02:28
=== gabriel is now known as Guest47342
=== shvn is now known as shvn__
IrcsomeBot<श्री Sri> @Zoth_Ommog, I had a wifi connectivity issue with kubuntu as well. The signal issue might be because of the drivers installed.06:25
IrcsomeBot<Zoth_Ommog> @श्री Sri, I know, I was hoping someone had a fix. I only have one available driver source, and that's the one with problems06:26
tomreynZoth_Ommog: how to fix it (and whether you can), always depends on which wireless chipset you have. those can behave very differently, and some with different drivers.10:08
tomreynlspci -knn | grep -EA3 '(Network|Ethernet) controller' | nc termbin.com 9999     would post info on your installed network devices and their drivers to termbin.com, so that you can share it.10:08
