Are these error critical?

[hack3rcon]

Hello.
After upgrading Debian 8.11 to Debian 9.9 x86_64, I can see some errors in "dmesg":

Code: Select all

$ sudo dmesg -k -l err,warn

Are these critical? How can I solve them?

Thank you.

I have some errors:

It is for a SD Card.

2 first and 2 last are not errors, I guess. Just info.

That cannot be more self-explanatory, yes? It is complaining about missing firmware files. Sometimes headers files are missing for your kernel or even specific firmware files required by your ethernet card or so...

But I'm no one to explain anything. I'm also learning about many things in Debian/Linux. Have you checked for what hardware are those files for? D you have that hardware in your machine?

Looks like you have a bad sector, try fsck(8).

Code: Select all

W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8107e-2.fw for module r8169

You can enter the firmware file name into the package contents search box on the Debian packages page to find the package for that.

Or use

Code: Select all

# apt install apt-file
# apt-file update
apt-file search /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8107e-2.fw

I knew it is for my NIC but I can't find the right package!!

I searched "rtl8107e-2" in Synaptic but can't find anything.

https://packages.debian.org/buster/firmware-realtek

This link is for Buster which is not going to do the op any good.

[GarryRicketson]

Yea, but if you looked at the link, you would have seen it also includes options for stetch, and stretch-backports , in the upper right, the OP can select which one they want.

Still the same link, but with "stretch" in the url just in case the OP can't figure it out. https://packages.debian.org/stretch/firmware-realtek
