 K900 | Which basically requires 64-bit addressing to actually be useful | 16:54:08 |
| K900 | Because you want to map the entire VRAM space and that's bigger than 4GB even on the potato tier GPUs | 16:54:38 |

Cant change rebar size though You probably need to disable legacy boot | 16:56:32 |
| K900 | Or update your firmware. | 16:57:03 |
| K900 | Or both | 16:57:05 |
| K900 | You're missing what, four years of security updates? | 16:57:42 |
 Emma [it/its] | i dont think i have legacy boot enabled... | 17:36:13 |
| Emma [it/its] | im not even sure how to do that tbh | 17:37:13 |
 tuxiqae | First hit on DDG, might be worth a look https://www.phoronix.com/review/msi_linux_bios | 17:38:06 |
| Emma [it/its] | (my board doesnt have bios reflash support) | 17:38:34 |
| tuxiqae | Not sure if it matters, but seems like fwupd supports MSI
https://fwupd.org/lvfs/vendors/#msi | 17:39:56 |
| Emma [it/its] | i wonder if i can have fwupd work without the daemon, but seems so? | 17:41:08 |
| Emma [it/its] | ah, yep: fwupdtool (part of the fwupd package) | 17:42:01 |
| Emma [it/its] | sounds like a better chance, i checked fwupdtool get-devices and it doesnt list the mobo itself | 17:43:25 |
| tuxiqae | According to the FAQ for your board you can use LiveUpdate (I guess a Windows app) and if it doesn't work you can use M-Flash which is seemingly a BIOS feature | 17:43:46 |
| tuxiqae | https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/X470-GAMING-PLUS-MAX/support#faq | 17:43:48 |
| tuxiqae | https://www.msi.com/page/biosflash | 17:43:53 |
| Emma [it/its] | wait hold up | 17:44:58 |
| tuxiqae | btw, it might appear once you upgrade | 17:45:03 |
| Emma [it/its] | apparently this bios ships with ntfs support...??? | 17:45:16 |

Download clipboard.png | 17:45:36 |
| tuxiqae | I mean, my Gigabyte MB actually broke fwupd after I updated to the latest version so I guess it can go the other way around as well | 17:45:52 |
| Emma [it/its] | Download fwupd-devices.txt | 17:46:26 |
| tuxiqae | Are you sure they're not talking about the normal Windows based FS? | 17:46:47 |
| Emma [it/its] | no they mean plain NTFS on a usb drive | 17:47:09 |

Download clipboard.png | 17:48:18 |
| Emma [it/its] | im guessing i cant just use fwupd from a nix shell, can i... | 17:49:05 |
| tuxiqae | In reply to @emma:rory.gay
no they mean plain NTFS on a usb drive Yup, just likr the FAT one
What's so surprising about that? | 17:50:17 |
| Emma [it/its] | because FAT is the commonly supported one | 17:51:15 |
| Emma [it/its] | NTFS isnt even part of the EFI standard, which would mean MSI is shipping their own NTFS implementation for this | 17:51:34 |
