Purism-Firmware-Version?
I’m not sure, where to find it. In the boot options menu I can select PureOS_GNU/Linux_[/vmlinuz-4.19.0-5-amd64]. In the PureBoot menu I can’t find any version- or system-information
kieran / MrChromebox:
Has this computer ever booted? / what did you do or change recently? / any OS updates installed?
I got the laptop from the it department of my employer. It was ordered by a former colleague. First there was a small screen problem (a stripe), and the laptop was send back to Purism. As the laptop came back the screen was ok, but the colleague left in between the company. The IT department tried to make a factory reset / reinstalling PureOS - but with no luck.
Yes, once it booted. But I do not know exactly what happened since then.
kieran:
However whenever any computer has a problem booting, it is always a good idea to do a test boot from known good external media (such as a USB flash drive that you have booted from previously). That may then fault isolate.
I can boot from a USB flash drive with a Lubuntu. There I checked the partitions with fsck: Everything is ok.
MrChromebox:
running latest coreboot firmware?
I was just before to do a firmware update with coreboot_util.sh (Firmware update with coreboot_util.sh: Error adding serial number - #3 by MrChromebox). But I stopped due to Your suggestion, that it might no firmware issue. Should I continue to do it anyway?
