| nibbon_ | is it necessary to install the package linux-firmware? | 13:37 |
| juergh | nibbon_, only if you have HW that needs loadable FW. | 13:37 |
| nibbon_ | juergh fair point, is there a way to identify such hardware? | 13:38 |
| ogra | uninstall linux-firmware and see what breaks ? 🙂 | 13:42 |
| ogra | (keep a local copy of the deb in case what breaks is your network card 🙂 ) | 13:43 |
| juergh | nibbon_, dmesg should tell you if a driver fails to load fw. Or something like: lsmod | awk '{print $1}' | xargs modinfo | grep ^firmware | 13:44 |
| nibbon_ | juergh that commands return a .bin which isn't present in neither /lib/firmware nor /usr/lib/firmware so I think is related to something else... | 13:49 |
| juergh | nibbon_, what are the kernel and linux-firmware versions? what .bin is missing? | 13:58 |
| nibbon_ | juergh linux-firmware (1.187.12) - 5.4.0-73-generic - ast_dp501_fw.bin | 13:59 |
| juergh | nibbon_, hmm. that seems to be a blob for an (old?) graphics card. is that missing blob causing issues? | 14:11 |
| nibbon_ | juergh nope, everything seems to be alright | 14:11 |
| juergh | nibbon_, OK. fwiw: LP: #1751613 | 14:12 |
| juergh | oh no bots yet... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1751613 | 14:12 |
| ogra | juergh, ask in #ubuntu-irc ... the irc council has bug bots and all to hook in here | 14:15 |
| nibbon_ | juergh thx, so smt I can safely ignore :) | 14:21 |
