#177075 — missing firmware ??

Subject	missing firmware ??
Message-ID	<t4F8K-4pL-13@gated-at.bofh.it>

Updating my Stretch installation today I first noticed this:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-1-amd64
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/bxt_dmc_ver1_07.bin for 
module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/skl_dmc_ver1_26.bin for 
module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin for 
module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin for 
module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/bxt_guc_ver8_7.bin for 
module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/skl_guc_ver6_1.bin for 
module i915


A search using apt-file didn't turn up any packages.


What am I missing here ?


Thanks

Do you have a Intel Kaby Lake or Intel Broxton (discontinued SoC) based
system? If not, then the missing firmware is no problem for you.

What happens on Kaby Lake systems if the GUC firmware is missing?

Kind regards,

I don't know, I don't have such a system available to me.

Hi Frank, now that you have added 'non-free sources', apt or apt-get and 
install 'firmware-linux' it's a 'meta package' and will pull in your 
missing firmware. Another meta package is firmware-linux-nonfree, but 
firmware-linux should pull that in too.

regards,

"Kaby Lake" is one of the newest Intel CPU-models. If you have not
bought your system in the last 2 month, then it will not be a "Kaby
Lake"-based one.

Your CPU is this one
<http://ark.intel.com/de/products/43550/Intel-Core-i5-660-Processor-4M-Cache-3_33-GHz>
from 2010 of the "Clarkdale" family.

Sven.

    So the missing firmware is no problem. Good to know.

    I installed firmware-linux....it pulled in several packages 
including one I need (intel-microcode)  but I still
get :
Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin for 
module i915
Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/bxt_guc_ver8_7.bin for 
module i915

when init is updated.

Do you have 'xserver-xorg-video-intel' installed?  If not install it and 
see if your missing firmware goes away.

xserver-xorg-video-intel might actually be a problem. If installed, Xorg uses it 
if you don't explicitly override. It's no longer the driver of choice for most 
Intel gfxchips. If you're not using an antique Intel gfxchip, you probably 
prefer the modesetting driver that is integral to the server:

Hardly. Due to the nature of the package it cannot provide firmware,
especially non-free one. And as a quick search on packages.debian.org
shows us, no Debian package provide those files anyway.

A curious advice to say the least.
Does modesetting xorg module provide OpenGL? What about VAAPI?

     Modesetting was causing me problems....the image viewer feh was 
segfaulting so I had to
create an xorg.conf file to go back to the old way.
I was going to report a bug on xserver-xorg ( as the docs suggest) but 
report bug on
my machine won't run because of python problems and I haven't found the 
time to
figure out reporting bug via email.

Do you have non-free configured in your sources.list?
