Bug#827579: related to 94990

[Ilya Guterman <iliyagutermann@gmail.com>]

Hi,


I see in the log "firmware: failed to load nvidia/gm204/gr/sw_nonctx.bin"

which means there is no such file in /lib/firmware/nvidia/
you can add it by installing 'apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree'
(if package not found add, 'non-free' to /etc/apt/sources.list)

intrigeri:
it seems the firmwares are in debian, just not in fresh installation which
is uncomfortable.

I am not sure what to do in such situation, i guess the driver had to fallback
to work without firmwares and just give a warning.

We have a bug report about including these firmware in Debian:

  https://bugs.debian.org/823637

So I'm not 100% sure if it makes sense to keep #827579 open.
