Hello everybody; i recently took the time to read all the articles: i have a NP530U3C running Arch. I would now update the firmware to start use the UEFI booting. There's a way to flash the firmware without windows? as i can't find anywhere on the net the mentioned firmware. Should be safer to get a bootable windows xp media and flash from there?
A side note: I followed others bugreports in the last few mouths discussing an ACPI bug on these samsung models: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/971061 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44161 I would just rise the question couse i'm corious if the two things can be related ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #44161 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44161 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
