[Santy69]

after sudo apt upgrade I have this issue

These usually can be safely ignored. But if you prefer, you can grab the missing files here (I am starting to think about creating a self-installer .deb package for this...):

1005.3 KB file on MEGA

Extract the files
Elevate file manager to root

sudo -i

nautilus

or

thunar

Now navigate to /lib/firmware/i915/ in a new tab
In the previous tab, navigate to ~/Downloads/Possible-missing-firmware and copy only the files, no folders and then paste them into the tab for /lib/firmware/i915

Once done, run

sudo update-initramfs -u

I've been having the same announcement after the update/upgrade.
Copied the files to the directory /lib/firmware/i915.

Guess its a one time thing, so after the update I won't be having to perform this again. What about reinstalling the system - they will be missing?

I've been having the same announcement after the update/upgrade.

When it happens, it usually can be seen as there is a placeholder in the kernel for a new addition that is due.
