W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/skl_guc_69.0.3.bin for module i9 15

[ysbobde2002]

I have encountered this serious problem while i update kali/parrot OS, i have to manually install the firmware by downloading it individually from https://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/linux-firmware/i915/ . Please resolve this or let me know of any shorter solution.

This kind of warnings are usually harmless; most of the time it only means the module has been loaded (or attempted to) but since the system doesn't have the other piece, it complains, so just ignore it. Does your machine have the other piece? To find out whether your system (GPU, specifically) is using it, launch a terminal and run

lsmod
