firmware no show on gnome firmware

#1 Post by fch »

Hello, I am a beginner on debian, on other distros using gnome I was able to see three devices on gnome firmware program, now it only show the SSD firmware, I am using a star labtop mkIII with coreboot firmware and would like to be able to update it and checnk the current version.
I also try a "fwupdmgr get-devices" and it only shows the SSD firmware as well.

Its a front end for fwupd


https://packages.debian.org/en/bookworm/gnome-firmware

Is the version number the same as the "other" distros?

I believe so, from gitlab the latest version is 3.36, the same in the debian repos

it's 1.6.2 on ubuntu for example and on my machine (debian stable bullseye) it's 1.5.7

There's an update guide from my hardware vendor, but it says to add an ubuntu ppa, which does not make much sense in my opinion, if possible something more directly not "polluting" my system would be ideal.
