FTR, I tried as Daniel described, and it didn't work. My configuration is slightly different, though:
* using Ubuntu 19.04 * my current firmware is 1.1.3 When I click on the update with AC plugged in, I get a "Software is up to date" message,* with no indication to reboot. When I reboot, I see (very quickly) 4 lines at the top-left of the initial "Dell" screen, saying something about a firmware update found... Does not look like an error message. Still, after the reboot, the firmware is still 1.1.3 :-/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860761 Title: Dell XPS 13 - Bios upgrade not working - Always ask for power supply To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1860761/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
