Problem after dist-upgrades
« on: 2017/06/06, 16:06:50 »
Hi,
I have a boot problem since the latest 2 dist-upgrades to 4.11.3 towo.2 and 4.11.3 towo.3.
It takes quite a while until the system comes up with a console screen where I have to login.
I can login as root or as regular user and after that I can do a startx to get the graphic interface.

When I during the boot proces choose 4.10.3 the boot proces is fast and I am automatically in a graphic interface.

Hardware info:
Mobo: Asus Z170 pro gaming, I use the onboard graphics of the Intel Core i5 6500 processor.

There is some firmware that you need to install, according to your output.

I had the same problem. The firmware isn't in package firmware-misc-nonfree where I expect it should be so I downloaded the firmware file from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/i915/skl_huc_ver01_07_1398.bin and placed it in /lib/firmware/i915 and now all is well

It is not yet packaged in  firmware-misc-nonfree, where it belongs.

it is
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/i915/kbl_huc_ver02_00_1810.bin
i need.

Grafikal Desktop startet after long delay, after installing the above firmware manually it is fast as before again.

Thanks for the hint.

I guess after placing the file besides dpkg/apt I have to remove it manually before/after next upgrade of  firmware-misc-nonfree?

Thank you for the replies!

@ drooghead
I followed your description and now the boot proces is as it was.  ;D
Though I had to reconfigure my display settings in systemsettings.

Now there still is a fail warning

You have to download all missing firmware files from that git-repo, as long they are not packaged.
