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 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
