[00:00] <jairo_> tomreyn: Im back!
[00:02] <tomreyn> jairo_: did you find out whether your bios can do bios updates, yet?
[00:02] <jairo_> tomreyn: so, you are look for : System Configuration: > Bootn Optons: > UEFI Boot Order?
[00:03] <tomreyn> oh, it's a uefi bios, ok
[00:03] <tomreyn> but no, that' snot what i'm looking for
[00:03] <jairo_> :> USB Diskette on Key/USB Hard Disk
 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] <jairo_> I dont think this is an Option on My bios start up
[00:04] <tomreyn> run this:   echo -n 'This system booted via: '; [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS
[00:04] <tomreyn> what does it say?
[00:05] <jairo_> This system booted via: UEFI
[00:06] <tomreyn> run this:   sudo ls -l /boot/efi/EFI/ | nc termbin.com 9999
[00:10] <tomreyn> 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] <tomreyn> jairo_: then:   sudo stat --printf '%s\n' /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New/sp86809.exe
[00:13] <tomreyn> and tell me what it reports.
[00:14] <tomreyn> jairo__: do you have another computer maybe? a smartphone?
[00:15] <jairo__> I do
[00:15] <jairo__> Another compluter com Windows 10
[00:16] <tomreyn> might be good for chatting
[00:16] <jairo__> ok
 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
 jairo_: then:   sudo stat --printf '%s\n' /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New/sp86809.exe
 and tell me what it reports.
[00:20] <jairo_> it is not downloading
[00:21] <tomreyn> download it on windows then
[00:22] <tomreyn> and put it on a usb stick
[00:22] <tomreyn> is your connection stable on windows, though?
 download it on windows then
 and put it on a usb stick
 is your connection stable on windows, though?
[00:24] <tomreyn> maybe your internet connection is shaky in general?
[00:25] <tomreyn> i don't see how we can work like this
[00:38] <jairo_> 16766824  --  What does it means?
[00:41] <tomreyn> the file size of the file you downloaded. thats the correct size, good
[00:41] <tomreyn> jairo_: so reboot, enter bios, see if you can update bios from there
[00:41] <jairo_> wow! I dont think I can do it. lol
[00:44] <jairo_> I dont have to use a usb?
[00:45] <tomreyn> jairo_: probably not, no
[00:49] <Swift110-mobile> Sup
[00:54] <jairo_> tomreyn: Hey there
[00:55] <jairo_> Im on my Windows noe
[00:57] <jairo_> I am on Setup Utility But I have no idea how to update my bios
[01:00] <tomreyn> jairo_: so there's no option to 'update bios from local media' or similar?
[01:01] <tomreyn> pressing F10 during boot may get you there directly
[01:02] <jairo_> gnu grub
[01:02] <jairo_> *ubuntu
[01:02] <jairo_> Advanced Options for Ubuntu
[01:03] <jairo_> UEFI Firmware Settings
[01:09] <tomreyn> jairo_: you ended up on the grub menu. so you either pressed F10 too later or it has no effect
[01:10] <tomreyn> *too late or...
[01:15] <jairo_> It has no Effect
[01:19] <jairo_> tomreyn: by the way, Im not using usb
[01:21] <tomreyn> 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] <tomreyn> 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] <tomreyn> 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] <tomreyn> 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] <tomreyn> "Update System BIOS" should be the option you choose in the beginning after entering "BIOS Setup"
[01:28] <tomreyn> jairo_: ^
[01:28] <jairo_> one min
[01:30] <jairo_> The only option I got is Bios Version and Bios Vendor inside of main manu
[01:31] <jairo_> could be enything with Legacy Support?
[01:32] <tomreyn> jairo_: no, it's not about legacy support
[01:32] <tomreyn> press ctrl-s and ctrl-b in bios setup menu, see if this makes another menu appear
[01:34] <Jairo_Wind> just a beep sound on both commands
[01:35] <Jairo_Wind> tomreyn: Where r u from?
[01:38] <tomreyn> the internets
[01:39] <tomreyn> 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] <Jairo_Wind> 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] <Jairo_Wind> 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] <jairo_> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Mhm5Vp52dH/
[01:48] <Jairo_linux> one last question, with all the information I provided here, is possible that someone use this info to hack my computer?
[01:53] <tomreyn> Jairo_linux: no, there's no danger there.
[01:54] <tomreyn> 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] <Jairo_Wind> Just a curiosity, there is nothing to hack in this pc Its fresh installed
[01:56] <tomreyn> 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] <Jairo_Wind> what does it do?
[02:07] <tomreyn> 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] <tomreyn> you could also keep those, if you want to try again later
 Why does kde constantly drop usb connection? It powers my cooler pad but doesn't detect MTP, mouse, phones
 And is there any way to contact kubuntu about wifi signal being extremely low?
 @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] <tomreyn> 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] <tomreyn> 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.
[13:07] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
 hey blueskaj
[13:24] <BluesKaj> hey@Swift110
 How r u

[13:26] <BluesKaj> we don't use textspeak on these support chat
[13:26] <BluesKaj> chats
 Ok well text speak me in ##forthenerds then
[13:27] <BluesKaj> no thanks

[15:38] <jairo_> Guys, which forum do yous guys recommend I post my issue?
[15:40] <jairo_> Whats means when there is a "!" before the name?
 Is there any recovery tool for Kubuntu?
[15:43] <oerheks> jairo_, try askubuntu ?
