Just started the installation of Kali Linux on an Hp Elitebook Folio 9740m Laptop and during the installation I got the message:
"Some of your hardware needs non-free firmware files to operate. The firmware can be loaded from removable media such as a USB stick or floopy.
The missing firmware files are: regulatory.db iwl-debug-yoyo.bin…"
I have searched for this firmware but no luck. Can anyone help me please??
Hi Newbie2021,
Welcome to our forums.
This should be a bug in the installer media, so you can skip this step during installation. When the installation is complete, run the following:
sudo apt dist-upgrade
Thank you so much- I ignored and performed an update/upgrade on the box and everything is working like a dream.
Bro I also need help on this topic what to do
I am trying to install Kali Linux and it’s showing missing firmware
Hi,
Can you skip and continue with the installation? Once you have the Kali system installed and ready you can install the firmware using the following command:
sudo apt-get firmware-linux-nonfree
Alternatively try the following script to create Debian Firmware USB to be used during the installation. Run it with eg.:
sudo ./debian_firmware_setup.sh <Debian version> eg. bookworm
After that use the USB during installation
