There are updates available for your platform, but they've been embargoed for years. I'll ping the right people.
@RomanPerekhrest Can you pl. download bios.exe from support.dell.com and install it with /usr/share/fwupd/install_dell_bios_exe.py
?
It has given me this (gcab
folder?):
[roman@roman-pc Downloads]$ python /usr/share/fwupd/install_dell_bios_exe.py G3_3579_3779_1.25.0.exe

An update requires a reboot to complete
Restart now? (Y/N)
Of course, after restart, it did not set the firmware updated.
Do you have gcab
installed on your system? if not, please install it first.
I've installed gcab
, the command python /usr/share/fwupd/install_dell_bios_exe.py G3_3579_3779_1.25.0.exe
run successfully, but there's still the old firmware:
[roman@roman-pc ~]$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
07/18/2018
(it somehow doesn't apply)
