Hi @frameworkcomputer! Thanks for the reminder email about BIOS update because !

I tried to update the Framework 13 AMD according to the help page and it does not work. :blobcatsadpats:

I get an "update progess: completed" from H2OFFT but then the screen goes black, device stays powered on but is unresponsive. I forced a shutdown (hold power button) after 2 hours. On booting again I get "Update Failed! EFI Error Code 2, Decompress failed!"

Any pointers?

: gparted - How to prepare a disk on an EFI based PC for Ubuntu? - Ask Ubuntu - Comment préparer un disque pour démarrer en EFI (donc formaté en GPT au lieu de MBR).
TL;DR : table de partition en GPT, partition 512 Mo en FAT32 avec flags esp+boot, partition système, autres partitions.
Prévoir une autre partition vide pour Windows éventuellement + bootrepair après l'installation de Windows.

I got a notification on my laptop (running @pop_os_official ) that there's an update for my EFI. When I hit the update button it complained that there isn't enough free space on /boot/efi/EFI. There weren't any old EFI updates to delete, so here's the solution:
Edit /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and change the parameter of COMPRESS to xz (see attached screenshot). Save the changes and then run update-initramfs -c -k all
Once update-initramfs completes, you will gain a few dozen megabytes, hopefully enough to update your efi partition

It's almost time!!!

kkarhan,

@oshy both are shit because RAM and SSDs inevitably die over use and time.

Espechally SSDs do with every bit written!!!

And no, since had the idea to also put the (Apple- & ) on the EXACT SAME FLASH CHIPS) any "" / / that has it's die is also .

UEFI can boot from FAT (Fat16) and FAT32. You would think in 2023, nearly 2024, that exFAT would be supported.

So odd that a file system older than myself, works, but something a little more modern, does not.

I dislike how some ISOs when using UEFI boot, will generate an "out of memory" error, forcing me to use legacy boot. 🙄

Linux_Is_Best,

If you run into the "out of memory" issue when attempting to boot an ISO using UEFI and you happen to by chance have an older system such as mine (Dell Precision T3600), go into your bios, and make the following change.

"PCI MMIO Space Size" from Large to Small.

systemd-boot —vs.— grub

I will choose systemd-boot every time.

It just works. I think more distros should make it an option during setup.

I use:

The Manager

fork of the boot manager for computers based on the Extensible Firmware Interface ( ) and Unified EFI ( ). Like rEFIt, rEFInd is a boot manager, meaning that it presents a menu of options to the user when the computer first starts up, as shown below.

Hello bubble! Does anyone know why ukify genkey generates a signing key/cert pair (AFAICT that corresponds to the DB Key/Cert), and even references sd-boot's ability to enroll them, but sd-boot requires .auth files for KEK, PK and DB (I mean, it can't just invent them :'-D)?

So, the only way to do that is to either manually generate KEK, PK and then sign them with the DB key and generate the .auth files, or to let a tool like or whatever generate them and try to feed those into ukify (which internally uses ). But both seem to be a bit more of a hassle than needed?

There is NO VALID REASON to glue-in batteries and not make them user-serviceable!

@SebastienK that claim doesn't hold water considering the unfixable mess of #AMD64 / #ix86 and the unfixable #bloat that is #UEFI.

Instead they literally made an #Outlook-#Clone as #EFI-App!

I ran into a bug where if you install onto a thumb drive, it won't boot. To be clear, I had a thumb drive with an installer, and another thumb drive that I was installing onto.

So I spent the past 4 hours trying to figure out how to fix my thumb drive installation and, if possible, determine what happened. My hard work paid off!
