asus bios

Post by freddyb9146 »

How do I get into the bios in linux mint 21.2 on asus gamer A17 laptop? I've tried all the F keys at startup, but it just does a plain boot. Hope someone can give me the answer. Thanks.

In UEFI-capable systems, you get to boot to firmware settings from grub menu on Linux.

The Fn lock may impact too.

On my ASUS I just have to boot up and hold f2 down until screen appears. Tapping f2 doesn't work, I need to hold it down.

If I'm sitting in Linux and I want to reboot into UEFI, I execute

Code: Select all

systemctl reboot --firmware-setup
in the terminal.

This is rather trivial, but I used your post to create an alias and added it to my .bash_aliases file.

Code: Select all

alias uefi='echo RESTART into UEFI settings in 5 seconds && echo press CTRL+C To CANCEL && sleep 5 && echo Restarting Now!! && sleep 3 && systemctl reboot --firmware-setup'
