Hi again, should have mentioned, that secureboot is active!
Hi *,
I got a new DELL XPS 13 9370 up and running with openSUE Tumbleweed. Because of problems with the Atheros wifi device I want to update the BIOS.
Running "fwupdmgr get-devices" gives "/usr/lib/fwupd/efi/fwupdx64.efi.signed cannot be found", though.
The same messages occurs when restarting the fwupd daemon.
Running the update with "fwupdmgr refresh" and "fwupdmgr update" gives:
No upgrades for XPS 13 9370 Thunderbolt Controller, current is 33.00: 33.00=same, 28.00=older ignoring XPS 13 9370 System Firmware [8a21cacfb0a8d2b30c5ee9290eb71db021619f8b] as not updatable
So the update of the Thunderbolt controller had succeeded in a previous run, but the firmware update itself does not run.
I read a lot of things on the internet, but couldn't find a solution. One thing I read was to sign fwupdx64.efi with sbsign. This utility can be found in the sbsigntools package with was not included in one of the standard Tumbleweed repos. So I installed it from an openSUSE developer repo. Unfortunately I don't know what cert and key files to use for signing.
So the questions are:
1. How to do a BIOS upgrade with fwupd in Tumbleweed the correct way? 2. If signing fwupdx64.efi is the correct way, what cert and key file to use?
TIA.
Bye. Michael. -- Michael Hirmke
