> an update is available for your BIOS (A06) I don't know how to apply this update. I'm running Ubuntu exclusively on this machine and it seems to be a windows binary.
Is it safe to run via wine? Is there some Windows live usb image (the computer doesn't even have a cd/dvd drive) for that? Is any of these https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DellBIOS guides still applicable? I have the older A03. # dmidecode -s bios-version && dmidecode -s bios-release-date A03 10/24/2011 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074641 Title: [Dell Vostro V131] Combo jack (TRRS) microphone doesn't work, internal microphone stays active Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After connecting headphones with microphone to combo jack (TRRS), internal microphone stays active and headset microphone is not being used. --- ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: rmo 3582 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=7c82e11d-4211-4789-90b6-7a20abd8aa82 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-10-20 (13 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) MachineType: Dell Inc.
