Re: missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/

If you actually have i915 graphics, you might want to install a couple of packages. Run 'lspci' to check. In my experience, it will still work without that. I'm not sure if you miss anything that way - I don't do anything that requires intense graphics. Just simple games and video here.

$ apt-cache search i915
xserver-xorg-video-intel - X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver
firmware-intel-graphics - Binary firmware for Intel iGPUs and IPUs

Hello:

Is this an issue?

Not necessarily, more so if your graphics are working properly.

I had the same issue with my Nvidia Quadro FX 580s and Nouveau drivers.

If so, how to fix it?

See here: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=51169#p51169

Best,

A.

So for daedalus the i915 stuff is in firmware-misc-nonfree, but for excalibur they split it off into it's own package that fsmithred mentioned above firmware-intel-graphics.

Looks like most likely you had the daedalus version and were using it possibly, but after the upgrade the intel i915 firmware is no longer in the package so it's no longer on your system.

There's also a firmware-intel-misc package that's new in excalibur, not sure what's in that as I don't have an excalibur system on my machine right now.
