Looking into a bios update I wanted to have a look at my actual bios state. I gave the command dmidecode -s bios-version && dmidecode t11 on my Thinkpad. My system is opensuse 11.1 mainly KDE 4.3.1. Response was, command not found.
dmidecode is in the /usr/sbin directory, which is not normally in the path of a regular user. In addition, you need to be root to be allowed access to the things dmidecode requires to do its work
Used it as root. Sorry I forgot to mention that. No reaction except: command not found :(
Then you don't have /usr/sbin in root's path for some reason. That is unusual. Try specifying it explicitly
/usr/sbin/dmidecode -s bios-version
Anders You are a genius. Never thought of such a kind of problem with my system. A week old nett install. How to repair this. My wisdom about path is from my DrDos time. Never had to extend a path in Linux.
