So I have that error when it starts up and it says “RDSEED32 is broken disabling the corresponding CPU bit”
I noticed today that AMD has already patched this but what is the easiest and beginner friendly way to update it on my machine? I run fedora.
I was hoping it would be some update within Linux but so far no dice as according to this page from AMD the update has already been issued. (https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-7055.html)
I know windows is usually the easiest way to do these things but I would be willing to learn a little bit (within my technical limits) to avoid using it for this.
And if I DID have to use windows, right now I’m using LUKS encryption so isn’t that like a monster to add windows into without messing stuff up?
I am very beginner on command line stuff but can navigate through files and stuff like that.
What’s the best move for this?
If your motherboard manufacturer releases firmware through LVFS, you can use
sudo fwupdmgr refresh --forcesudo fwupdmgr updateBut that should normally be offered through the GNOME or KDE update utility.
I’m assuming your motherboard manufacturer doesn’t support updating through the OS (or hasn’t released a new enough AGESA build) based off your issue
