W: Possible Missing Firmware /lib/firmware/i915/bxt_guc_ver8_7.bin for Module I915

Hello Guys,

I just migrated to Linux (Ubuntu xvi.04) from Windows recently, and I fit the definition of a complete newbie in annihilation Linux. I installed Ubuntu 16.04 a couple days back, and every time I desire to update my organization using,

it returns the following error,

Lawmaking:

W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin for module i915 update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.viii.0-36-generic West: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin for module i915 Westward: 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

while

works fine. I tried,

Lawmaking:

apt-get -f install apt-become install --fix-missing

simply they don’t set the trouble.

Whatever help is appreciated

Do you see

every

time you run

Lawmaking:

sudo apt-go upgrade

after running

Code:

sudo apt-get update

or did you lot run across it merely the one time?

As well, please post the output of

Thanks Vasa1. Yeah, every single time I run the command. Returns the following,

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

Yes, you will go these messages.

The outcome is that Ubuntu is lagging backside what the Kernel wants for firmware versions.

Notation that is doesn’t matter unless you actually take one of those Intel processors (Kaby Lake or Heaven Lake or the other one I tin can non recollect the name), otherwise you tin can ignore the warnings.
You might also find other references with an obsolete link to where to get the firmware, because Intel changed it a few months ago.
see besides
hither
(which has the proper link).

Thank you Doug Southward,

I don’t really know how to check if my organization’s using one of those intel microarchitectures. I read the link, it outlined the two you lot mentioned and a third Broxton.

I guess I’yard merely going to ignore this warning like you said. TY

Do this:

Code:

$
                    true cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name"
                    model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ three.40GHz model proper name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ iii.40GHz model proper noun      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ three.40GHz model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz model proper name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz model proper noun      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ three.40GHz model proper noun      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ iii.40GHz

My processor is relatively old, I think its Intel marketing name was Sandy Bridge or something, only
NOT
1 I take to worry about in terms of those warning messages.

Thank you Doug.

No, not that. I do know my processor is Core i5 with a clock-speed of 2.67GHz. I was actually asking if in that location was a way to bank check my
Processor Codename, similar you lot said,

Sandy Bridge
or something…

Sad if this is getting lengthy. I’m merely trying to become my head around this matter.

I don’t know how open you are to visiting the Intel site,
http://ark.intel.com/#@Processors, but y’all tin find the code name of your CPU in that location if y’all know the model number, ie i5-6300

Well, my plan was to decode information technology for you based on the model number, but I come across now that him610 gave a link to the decoder folio (which I didn’t previously know near).

Anyway, for example:
i5-6??? is Sky Lake, Abbreviation skl
i5-seven??? is Kaby Lake, Abbreviation kbl
Broxton, I don’t know.

Gotcha!

Thanks a lot guys for clearing these things up 😊
