When I run sudo prime-select intel I get the following warning

$ sudo prime-select intel

Done

I checked the other answers that where similar and they all suggested around the same thing, which was to go here and copy over the missing files.

Unfortunately, none of the files I get a warning about are there

  • Well, as the name suggests, "amdgpu" is for AMD GPUs. Since you, apparently, have an intel GPU, what's missing for anything else is a moot point. ...and if there is an AMD GPU, you need to check which one. Also, there are lots of firmware files in /lib/firmware/amdgpu/. – mikewhatever May 26 '23 at 07:12
  • @mikewhatever prime-select intel is nvidia's driver managment, and the only option is intel for cpu, not amd. In terms of saying there are lots of firmware files in lib/firm/amdgpu as I said with the link the missing ones are no where to be found in the linux kerenel site.. – nadermx May 26 '23 at 14:51
  • So, for the sake of clarity, do you need amdgpu firmware for Nvidia GPU or Intel CPU? – mikewhatever May 26 '23 at 15:18

    @mikewhatever This is the laptop, https://www.razer.com/gaming-laptops/razer-blade-14 Which has a AMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HX and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 Ti – nadermx May 28 '23 at 16:36
  • @mikewhatever and to clarify, I presume I need the AMD files, which are not where it says to look for them. Despite NVIDIA calling "intel" I presume that is their code for just CPU... – nadermx Jun 06 '23 at 21:49

This is probably normal, to see the installed firmware files run this command:

ls -l /lib/firmware/amdgpu/

You can also check the output from 'dmesg' to see if any amdgpu firmware failed to load during boot, if no related errors then these warnings can be ignored.

sudo dmesg | grep amdgpu
