(https://i.imgur.com/bDtcOwK.gif) This afternoon, reading some threads on
Siduction forum; I came across this interesting thread:
Where a major change to the non-free repository is noted. And that is the creation of a new repository exclusively for the firmware, called '
non-free-firmware'.
(As explained in the above link)
Quote[....] Users of sid and testing need to apply a change to their Debian sources.list to be able to obtain firmware-updates in the future.
No matter if you have non-free and /or contrib in your sources already, please add:
non-free-firmware
to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
Another thread with the same subject can be found at:
