Hi all,
I have a 6th gen X1 Carbon (type 20KH), and I'm attempting to update the BIOS, following the instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Le … 6)#Updates
First I attempted to use fwupdmgr get-updates, but it returns nothing.
Then I attempted a manual install. I downloaded the .cab file from lenovo's website, and run fwupdmgr:
$ fwupdmgr install n23et63w.cab
Decompressing… [***************************************]
No supported devices found
I believe I'm booting in legacy BIOS mode (and I'm running Grub). Any idea how to diagnose this?

Same here.

According to this fwupd page, legacy mode is not supported.

Thanks for the reply, d_fajardo. Is there a way to update the bios from legacy mode? I believe the only way to switch to UEFI mode is to reinstall arch...

You can try the old fashioned way of doing i via USB. I found this page that might be of a guide. Just be careful with any BIOS update. I've bricked a motherboard once doing it.
If I were you, I would take the time to switch to UEFI. I personally feel it's the modern setup but that's a personal opinion.
