Force update with low battery #142

Closed gabepinheiro closed 1 year ago

gabepinheiro commented 1 year ago

Hi, my battery is not charging and is currently stuck at 2%. To try to solve this problem I need to update the BIOS, but due to the battery being low, it is not possible to perform the update.

Would there be any way to "force" this and be able to update?

I wanted to take advantage and also request to include the missing BIOS updates for my model: Inspiron 15 3515 LVFS: No update available https://fwupd.org/lvfs/search?value=inspiron+3515 Dell versions: 1.3.2, 1.4.0, 1.5.0, 1.6.0, 1.7.0, 1.8.0 and 1.9.0 https://www.dell.com/support/home/pt-br/product-support/servicetag/0-c2I2ME15Tis1NXY5eHhHUWdBbzNZZz090/drivers

Try adding DisabledPlugins=upower to /etc/fwupd/daemon.conf

That worked, thanks. But apparently the BIOS version has not been updated... Tried to run with higher versions and it still remains on version 1.2.0

sudo dmidecode -s bios-version
1.2.0
