Instructions to Update the BIOS/UEFI for an HP Laptop on Linux

The easiest way to should be to use [HP PC HARDWARE DIAGNOSTICS 4-IN-1 USB KEY][hp-usb-key]. You should use this option if your BIOS/UEFI does not have a "BIOS update" option.

Unfortunately HP's automatic tool only runs on Windows, but it is possible to make a USB key formatted manually by running the self-extracting executable on Wine. You cannot simply extract the executable using 7-zip because the executable needs to do some file generation.

Instructions to Update the BIOS/UEFI for an HP Laptop on Linux

To update the BIOS/UEFI firmware requires HP-specific files in the EFI System Partition, also referred to as ESP.

On a Linux system, the ESP is typically mounted on /boot/efi or /efi. Whithin you should also find a EFI directory, e.g. /boot/efi/EFI or /efi/EFI. This article assumes that the ESP is mounted on /efi and that the /efi/EFI directory exists. You can replace that with the mount point your system uses.

The HP-specific files are located in /efi/EFI/HP or /efi/EFI/Hewlet-Packard. These files typically come preinstalled in HP Windows PCs. If you have these files you could skip Install HP-specific files.

Description

This is all of @sadserver's tweets packaged in a file ready to be converted into a .dat file for the fortune program.

Installing

1. Install fortune if your distro doesn't already have it.
2. Convert this into a fortune file run strfile -c % sadserver_tweets sadserver_tweets.dat
3. Copy the files into your fortune directory cp sadserver_tweets sadserver_tweets.dat /usr/local/share/games/fortunes. Note that I'm on OS X so the file path reflects that. Linux is going to be something like /usr/share/games/fortunes.
4. Add a line to your shell's profile/rc file. I.e. fortune sadserver_tweets
5. Laugh/cry when you log into your desktop/servers.

This uses the version available through GOG.com. Thanks go to TheCycoONE from the Arch Linux and GOG communities who's AUR package and forums posts were instrumental in my discovering how to finally install the GOG version of Neverwinter Nights on Linux.

First step is to ensure you have the necessary dependencies and utilities installed:

• elfutils
• glu
• ia-32-libs (only if you are on a 64bit distro)
• innoextract
• libgl
• libstdc++5
