 @rikudou:lemmings.world | Yep | 15:25:14 |
 @atemu12:matrix.org | In that case you need the model | 15:25:40 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | I wouldn't get my hopes up of that working or you being able to flash a BIOS | 15:25:58 |
| @rikudou:lemmings.world | In reply to @atemu12:matrix.org
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 | If it's not in fwupd, I wouldn't count on it. | 15:27:27 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | What's the exact model of that laptop? | 15:27:41 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | That's what you need to Google and see whether MSI offers downloads | 15:27:55 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Not the Mobo id | 15:28:09 |

What's the exact model of that laptop? MSI Prestige 16 A12UD-201CZ | 15:28:18 |
 K900 | https://www.msi.com/Business-Productivity/Summit-E16-Flip-A11X-RTX/support?sub_product=Summit-E16Flip-A11UCT | 15:28:26 |
| K900 | Possibly? | 15:28:30 |
| @rikudou:lemmings.world | In reply to @atemu12:matrix.org
That's what you need to Google and see whether MSI offers downloads They do, they offer some file and an exe tool for flashing it | 15:28:34 |
| K900 | At least that's what Google says | 15:28:35 |
| K900 | In reply to@rikudou:lemmings.world
They do, they offer some file and an exe tool for flashing it If the file is just a 16MB/32MB blob, it's probably flashable from the BIOS setup menu itsefl | 15:28:53 |
| K900 | * If the file is just a 16MB/32MB blob, it's probably flashable from the BIOS setup menu itself | 15:28:55 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | You're in Luck, it seems like they do offer a download | 15:29:11 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Now to hope the BIOS lets you flash | 15:29:21 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Because why would you do that? You'd obvious use our amazing flashing util on your favourite OS Windows | 15:29:46 |
| @rikudou:lemmings.world | I've already downloaded, I'm just not sure how to do it, they don't provide any instructions | 15:30:07 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Put it onto an MBR FAT32 USB and boot into UEFI | 15:30:30 |
| @rikudou:lemmings.world | I've downloaded this: https://www.msi.com/Laptop/Prestige-16-A12UD/support
The first file with E1592IMS.10F as a version | 15:30:31 |
| K900 | Look for stuff that says "flash" or "update" in the BIOS | 15:31:06 |
| @rikudou:lemmings.world | Will do, just have to find some USB stick lying around, thanks for your help so far! | 15:31:38 |

 @tejing:matrix.org | jonringer: Hey, as steam maintainer, can you give me an idea if you'd be for or against implementing a workaround for https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9121#issuecomment-1483689592 in our steam packaging, at the cost of making https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/160923 worse? (Basically just giving steam its own /tmp so it can't step on anyone else's toes) | 00:44:45 |

(Basically just giving steam its own /tmp so it can't step on anyone else's toes) I actually think /tmp per fhsenv might be a good idea in general | 05:28:36 |
| K900 | But maybe after 23.11 | 05:28:43 |
