I have been racking my brain about this for a while now and now I just need some help because I can’t figure it out.
So I login to my dell account, punch in my service tag number and it brings up info regarding my specific laptop. There are TONS of firmware and drivers that I believe may be missing? But the issue is, all the files are .exe and thats clearly for windows. They have no fedora or rpm supported drivers or firmware that I could find.
Its crucial because I just got a dell wd19tbs docking station and as per the install instructions, there’s a set of firmware/drivers that must be installed prior to setting up the dock
I have lvfs repo enabled, I tried the whole fwupdmgr technique a million times though it never does shit. No firmware or drivers show up in yhe gnome store… So why is this so complicated? How do I install dell drivers and firmware on a fedora system?
Ohhh so the bios itself gives you the drivers and firmware necessary? Like I dont have to manually install each one myself?
Please re-read my comment. I didn’t say anything like that.
I’m probably misinterpreting this. I have successfully installed the latest bios no problem. its just when you said the bios extracts necessary files, I thought you meant that it installs the proper drivers/firmware for your system
