@k900:0upti.meK900That you can flash through the firmware UI13:43:10
@k900:0upti.meK900Or maybe fwupd13:43:12
@rikudou:lemmings.world@rikudou:lemmings.worldfwupd didn't find any updates, no idea where to find the capsule image :/14:20:21
@k900:0upti.meK900What's your motherboard model?14:21:49
@rikudou:lemmings.world@rikudou:lemmings.worldMSI MS-159215:24:00
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.org rikudou@lemmings.world: That's a laptop? 15:25:06
@rikudou:lemmings.world@rikudou:lemmings.worldYep15:25:14
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgIn that case you need the model15:25:40
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgI wouldn't get my hopes up of that working or you being able to flash a BIOS15:25:58

In that case you need the model
I'm not sure what do you mean? LIke, you can flash the BIOS easily using their Windows tools, so is there no way to do it in Linux?
15:27:09
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgIf it's not in fwupd, I wouldn't count on it.15:27:27
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgWhat's the exact model of that laptop?15:27:41
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgThat's what you need to Google and see whether MSI offers downloads15:27:55
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgNot the Mobo id15:28:09

They do, they offer some file and an exe tool for flashing it
15:28:34
@k900:0upti.meK900At least that's what Google says15:28:35

If the file is just a 16MB/32MB blob, it's probably flashable from the BIOS setup menu itsefl
15:28:53
@k900:0upti.meK900* If the file is just a 16MB/32MB blob, it's probably flashable from the BIOS setup menu itself15:28:55
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgYou're in Luck, it seems like they do offer a download15:29:11
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgNow to hope the BIOS lets you flash15:29:21
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgBecause why would you do that? You'd obvious use our amazing flashing util on your favourite OS Windows15:29:46
@rikudou:lemmings.world@rikudou:lemmings.worldI've already downloaded, I'm just not sure how to do it, they don't provide any instructions15:30:07
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgPut it onto an MBR FAT32 USB and boot into UEFI15:30:30
@rikudou:lemmings.world@rikudou:lemmings.worldI've downloaded this: https://www.msi.com/Laptop/Prestige-16-A12UD/support The first file with E1592IMS.10F as a version15:30:31
@k900:0upti.meK900Look for stuff that says "flash" or "update" in the BIOS15:31:06
@rikudou:lemmings.world@rikudou:lemmings.worldWill do, just have to find some USB stick lying around, thanks for your help so far!15:31:38
