[gentoo-user] Update BIOS with 4MB .exe
I'm amazed this is so difficult but I've just spent 3 hours trying to update the BIOS on my Dell XPS 13 and hit nothing but dead ends. The root of the problem seems to be that the 4MB BIOS update file is too large for the available 1.44MB DOS boot disks. Apparently FreeDOS had a LiveCD available at some point but it has reportedly been unavailable for quite some time. The following method looks promising but it also doesn't work. DOS can't seem to execute the .exe file which sits outside of the boot image: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/FreeDOS_Flash_Drive Does anyone know how to do this? - Grant
Re: [gentoo-user] Update BIOS with 4MB .exe
flashrom can write to a growing number of BIOSes, did you try it already? It's in portage so you can just emerge it. Look at the use flag list, since you might need to enable support for something in there so it can see your chip(s). The exe file might be usable directly with it, or you might have some luck trying to uncompress it with 7z or xz. -- Jesús Guerrero Botella

I read that flashrom can't use an executable directly and unzip didn't work so I didn't seriously consider it. I didn't try 7z or xz though. I did finally get it to work with unetbootin though. This would actually probably work too: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/FreeDOS_Flash_Drive My problem was that I was trying to change to the C drive like this: cd c: instead of like this: c: :) - Grant

There used to be a places.sqlite-journal file as well, which should be deleted from the profile a places.sqlite file is being copied to, but I don't see it any more in either Firefox or SeaMonkey. While I don't know if this is *supposed* to be the right way, what I've done recently when I installed a new computer was just to copy the latest entry in ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/bookmarkbackups/ to the corresponding location in the new computer, and on the new install use bookmark manager to restore to a previous back up. That's pretty much the way Mozilla recommends doing it. :-) https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Backing-up-restoring-bookmarks#w_moving-bookmarks-to-another-computer (Link is for Firefox, but that part of it is the same as SeaMonkey.)

You don't need it for booting at the moment, right? AS SATA is hot-plugin capable, you can re-insert it later. Be careful here, not all SATA-controllers/ports on mainboards are hotplug capable. I have a mainboard that becomes really unstable when I try to hot(un)plug a harddisk. It runs perfectly fine as long as I switch the computer off before swapping harddrives. According to the manual, mine is. Given my luck, I don't want to try it. ;-) If the manual says it is, then probably it will be. I have 2 mainboards I tried it with that don't mention either way for hotswap in the manuals. One gets unstable, the other works perfectly. The last mainboard I bought actually has an option in the BIOS where I can specify per SATA-port which are to support hotswap or not ;) -- Joost
[gentoo-user] Re: CORRECTION - Problem with eix-REMOTE update...
I haven't searched layman for packages in a long time (actually had to google how to do it), and am getting an error I can't seem to solve... Unfortunately, you have not written the actual error which should appear probably a few (probably one) lines before: problems arised with cachefile _var_lib_layman_zugaina.eix * Calling eix-update... * could not read all eix cachefiles of /tmp/eix-remote.dhR5mKNK/eix-caches.tbz2 Maybe this error speaks about differing versions? Conversely, if the downloaded versions are even newer than that supported by your eix, you will have to upgrade to the most current ~x86 version of eix to use eix-remote: This inconvenience cannot be avoided and is not a bug! So if it is the differing versions problem, the solution is to upgrade to the most recent (~x86) version of eix, currently eix-0.25.3: echo app-portage/eix /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords emerge eix
