ThinkPad x40 - fehlende Firmware
« on: 2017/01/03, 10:14:21 »
Mahlzeit!


Ich brauche euren Rat.
Neuerdings bekomme ich beim D-U diese Warnung angezeigt:
Code: [Select]
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


Welche Firmware fehlt mir, oder kann ich diese ignorieren?


Code: [Select]
$ inxi -SCxxx
System:    Host: x40 Kernel: 4.9.0-towo.1-siduction-686 i686 (32 bit gcc: 6.2.1)

           flags: (sse sse2) bmips: 2792 speed/min/max: 1400/600/1400 MHz

As far as I know, Intel has not released this firmware

The warning means that the driver references the firmware but that it isn't installed

This issue is  "closed as wontfix"

I either give too many fucks or no fucks at all, it's like I cannot find a middle ground for a moderate fuck distribution, it's like what the fuck
