ACPI errors : HP Laptop PC 15s-fq2000 (2D118AV)

[Ovesdam]

Hello, I've bought a new Hp laptop and installed a fresh Linux mint mate 20.3 on it.

it shows ACPI errors for a moment during startup after HP Logo and before the login screen, errors list on the image below:

How I can update the Bios, and user manuals using the Hp Assistant app to do that, but I didn't find a way where to Download and update the bios manually?

Thank you.

Anyone?

Sure.

The best place for a solution would be the Linux Mint forums.

The ACPI error after an OS installation seems to be a pretty common issue.

Thank you for replaying Erico, I already posted in the Linux forum but then I thought it was a bios problem, and wanted to update it, now, I will check again with the Linux forum to see maybe it's a kernel problem.

Thank you.

From what I have read, that is likely.

I have Windows desktops and notebooks and Linux notebooks.

When it comes to my Linux notebook choice, I always pick a notebook, regardless of my own brand preference, that is reputed to be compatible.

That way I have saved myself the grief of seeing OS errors like you have experienced.

The problem with updating the BIOS is that it will need to be done with a Windows type Volume and disk format.  You could consider temporarily installing Windows 10, updating the BIOS and then reverting it back to Linux Mint OS.
