I have no idea lol I just figured there would be some sort of app or gui for it so you can tweak settings or what not. not gonna lie but the dell documentation for this dock is terrible. for instance, if it's always plugged into your laptop, the battery will always be at 100%; isn't that terrible for your battery?

So yea I just hooked up the dock and in gnome firmware it appears that the proper drivers for the dock are installed, but theres like no gui or anything to configure the thing? is it supposed to be that way? how do people make any changes or configurations to their docks? I see no way on my system to do so

I'm probably misinterpreting this. I have successfully installed the latest bios no problem. its just when you said the bios extracts necessary files, I thought you meant that it installs the proper drivers/firmware for your system

Wow I never saw that document in my searching. Thanks for that. May as well give it a shot

I hope not... Because of course the laptop came with windows installed

Man I need more info on this. I haven't come across anything like that in the dell documentations

I've been having issues with fwudp. Maybe I gotta just rehash things and follow a setup and usage guide again

Ohhh so the bios itself gives you the drivers and firmware necessary? Like I dont have to manually install each one myself?
