[00:00] tomreyn: Im back! [00:02] jairo_: did you find out whether your bios can do bios updates, yet? [00:02] tomreyn: so, you are look for : System Configuration: > Bootn Optons: > UEFI Boot Order? [00:03] oh, it's a uefi bios, ok [00:03] but no, that' snot what i'm looking for [00:03] :> USB Diskette on Key/USB Hard Disk [00:03] jairo__: first of all, reboot, enter bios, see if you have an option there to install a bios update from a usb attached / "local" storage [00:04] I dont think this is an Option on My bios start up [00:04] run this: echo -n 'This system booted via: '; [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS [00:04] what does it say? [00:05] This system booted via: UEFI [00:06] run this: sudo ls -l /boot/efi/EFI/ | nc termbin.com 9999 [00:10] jairo_: sudo mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New; sudo wget -O /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New/sp86809.exe https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp86501-87000/sp86809.exe [00:13] jairo_: then: sudo stat --printf '%s\n' /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New/sp86809.exe [00:13] and tell me what it reports. [00:14] jairo__: do you have another computer maybe? a smartphone? [00:15] I do [00:15] Another compluter com Windows 10 [00:16] might be good for chatting [00:16] ok [00:16] jairo_: sudo mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New; sudo wget -O /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New/sp86809.exe https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp86501-87000/sp86809.exe [00:16] jairo_: then: sudo stat --printf '%s\n' /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New/sp86809.exe [00:16] and tell me what it reports. === jairo is now known as Guest31068 === Guest31068 is now known as jairo_ [00:20] it is not downloading [00:21] download it on windows then [00:22] and put it on a usb stick [00:22] is your connection stable on windows, though? [00:23] download it on windows then [00:23] and put it on a usb stick [00:23] is your connection stable on windows, though? [00:24] maybe your internet connection is shaky in general? [00:25] i don't see how we can work like this [00:38] 16766824 -- What does it means? [00:41] the file size of the file you downloaded. thats the correct size, good [00:41] jairo_: so reboot, enter bios, see if you can update bios from there [00:41] wow! I dont think I can do it. lol [00:44] I dont have to use a usb? [00:45] jairo_: probably not, no [00:49] Sup [00:54] tomreyn: Hey there [00:55] Im on my Windows noe [00:57] I am on Setup Utility But I have no idea how to update my bios [01:00] jairo_: so there's no option to 'update bios from local media' or similar? [01:01] pressing F10 during boot may get you there directly [01:02] gnu grub [01:02] *ubuntu [01:02] Advanced Options for Ubuntu [01:03] UEFI Firmware Settings [01:09] jairo_: you ended up on the grub menu. so you either pressed F10 too later or it has no effect [01:10] *too late or... [01:15] It has no Effect [01:19] tomreyn: by the way, Im not using usb [01:21] jairo_: 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 differently [01:25] jairo_: 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.bin [01:26] jairo_: you would then need to reboot again, and try to find an option in the bios to carry out the bios upgrade [01:26] this 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.exe [01:28] "Update System BIOS" should be the option you choose in the beginning after entering "BIOS Setup" [01:28] jairo_: ^ [01:28] one min [01:30] The only option I got is Bios Version and Bios Vendor inside of main manu [01:31] could be enything with Legacy Support? [01:32] jairo_: no, it's not about legacy support === jairo_ is now known as Jairo_Wind [01:32] press ctrl-s and ctrl-b in bios setup menu, see if this makes another menu appear [01:34] just a beep sound on both commands [01:35] tomreyn: Where r u from? === jairo is now known as Guest96566 [01:38] the internets [01:39] i 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 then [01:39] 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.bin [01:42] 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.bin [01:44] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Mhm5Vp52dH/ === jairo_ is now known as Jairo_linux [01:48] one last question, with all the information I provided here, is possible that someone use this info to hack my computer? [01:53] Jairo_linux: no, there's no danger there. [01:54] Jairo_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 cooperation [01:55] Just a curiosity, there is nothing to hack in this pc Its fresh installed [01:56] if 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/HP [01:57] what does it do? [02:07] Jairo_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] you could also keep those, if you want to try again later [02:19] Why does kde constantly drop usb connection? It powers my cooler pad but doesn't detect MTP, mouse, phones [02:28] And is there any way to contact kubuntu about wifi signal being extremely low? === gabriel is now known as Guest47342 === shvn is now known as shvn__ [06:25] <श्री Sri> @Zoth_Ommog, I had a wifi connectivity issue with kubuntu as well. The signal issue might be because of the drivers installed. [06:26] @श्री Sri, I know, I was hoping someone had a fix. I only have one available driver source, and that's the one with problems [10:08] Zoth_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] lspci -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.
