Temuan

Biasanya terjadi setelah upgrade kernel atau hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan itu.

Solusi

Unduh berkas blob di sini https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/i915

Pilih sesuai dengan apa yang tidak ada (missing) pada keterangan galat di atas

Salin berkas *.bin ke /lib/firmware/i915

Keterangan:

The download files are now called firmware blobs which is new-speak for firmware drivers. It stands for Binary Large OBject (BLOB).

Drivers are sorted by processor:

• bxt Broxton, Canceled in 2016, successor to Cherry Trail processors

• kbl Kabylake, 7th generation, eg i7-7700

• skl Skylake, 6th generation, eg i7-6700

Then drivers are organized by subgroup (full explanation here):

• GUC - GuC is designed to perform graphics workload scheduling on the various graphics parallel engines.

• DMC - DMC provides additional graphics low-power idle states.

• HUC - HuC is designed to offload some of the media functions from the CPU to GPU.
