I have a Dell Inspiron 3647 desktop with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa).
How can I check the bios firmware version from inside Ubuntu and update it (if necessary) without using MS Windows?
After sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
, I saw the following output in my terminal:
Setting up linux-modules-extra-4.18.0-16-generic (4.18.0-16.17) ...

Can someone tell me where to find and how to install the missing firmware?
My graphic card is RADEON RX VEGA M
I just install Ubuntu 18.04 yesterday, and it seems like Ubuntu cannot detect wifi adapter. The card is working on Windows, so it should not be a problem. I also have the same firmware as the one stated on Intel website (iwlwifi-9260-th-a0-jf-a0-34.ucode
). Checking the log, I see iwlwifi
failed with error -110
.
Any idea how to troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks,
Below is the details log:

UPDATE: I tried to update to kernel 4.18 which use newer firmware but got the same issue.
I've installed Ubuntu 18.04.I have a headset and I'm trying to connect it to my laptop(hp),when I try switching bluetooth to "On" it displays:"No bluetooth found,plugin a dongle to use bluetooth",I tried to install Blue Managerand blueZ but it displays me :No adapters !,Any one knows the steps of bluetooth configuration ?
I've tried lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net;lsusb;dmesg | egrep -i 'blue|firm
commands and the results are :

Edit 1:
After some googling ,I found that I need to buy a Bluetooth adapter to connect my PC to headphone,I bought one (Bluetooth Dongle (Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd)) and it plugged to my pc and my bluetooth is "On" but my laptop can not detect my device.
After I plugged the bluetooth adpater and run lspci -knn | grep Net -A2; lsusb
the result is :

Devices:
I need to update firmware of my iPod Touch (iPhone) in Ubuntu and as I have jailbroken iPod Touch I need iTunes to install apps, but unfortunately haven't found any ways to do that in Ubuntu yet. I know that it is possible to use VirtualBox or Wine, but still in the most of the times iTunes doesn't want to work on Wine and for VirtualBox I need to install again that Windows from which I switched into Ubuntu just a few months ago and don't want to go back to it.
What do Linux users who have iPod Touch(iPhone) do in this case?
Any suggestions to solve the problem will be pleased.
And finally,how long will it be before Apple develops iTunes for Linux OS?
