Has anyone used a livecd to flash a bios?
If yes what application did you use?
And what about including that application on a livecd or OBI DE?
I have a Aspire One that doesn't boot from SD, it is an older BIOS, and
i hope the latest BIOS saves the day. But having a tool to actually

Hi,
My experience with upgrading BIOS from GNU/Linux is NO.
FreeDOS can sometimes run the executable and work well.
Usually what I do before installing GNU/Linux is to upgrade the BIOS.
So if you have a Windows CD install windows, upgrade BIOS, and then
install GNU/Linux.
Someone else may have
Thank you all for your answers! Great that you have gotten lubuntu.me as
official on duckduckgo. (It's where I do my searches.) Also great that
the official site is the most up to date and with a nice, modern look!
And now looking even more official, with some added info in the footer.

I also see

I have never updated BIOS using Linux, sometimes I did with Windows. I used
to use the mainboard tool for doing it (no O.S. required), but I guess this

Installing video card drivers might solve this. But you can also set
nomodeset in addition to the resolution you need on /etc/default/grub file.
You can add: GRUB_GFXMODE=WIDTHxHEIGH
E.g.: GRUB_GFXMODE=366x768

OK i'll try the GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x600 stuff
but as testing the 14.04.5 release what kind of feedback is needed so
that the final release can be fixed? or should i just wait what happens
on the next build?
i'm new to testing and just too the dive while i'm here...

I have been using USB drives instead of DVDs for the live system, in
almost all cases.
I have been using UNetBootin successfully, for this. I use PLOP on a C
i just found flashrom in the repo

I'm not yet sure if this is safe, but it looks like this could be a very

The following affects Lubuntu as well, so we need more testing.

Thank you, Einar. I contacted with the DuckDuckGo guys, and they were
very kind. They also made a custom search command (#lubuntu) for us!
Regarding the new site, I must say it all began as a simple blog coming
along the main website. One of its functions was informing about the
updates, install p
About that respin, be aware ye hardware testers.
