So a search of the 'firmware" word in the kernel logs would show either succeeded or failed attempts: didier@hp-notebook14:~$ sudo dmesg | grep -i firmware [sudo] Mot de passe de didier : [ 0.472650] Spectre V2 : Enabling Restricted Speculation for firmware calls [ 0.572837] ACPI: [Firmware Bug]: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored [ 2.852914] i915 0000:00:02.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin [ 2.853308] [drm] Finished loading DMC firmware i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin (v1.4) [ 3.336861] psmouse serio1: elantech: assuming hardware version 4 (with firmware version 0x5d4f01) [ 6.994202] bluetooth hci0: firmware: direct-loading firmware rtl_bt/rtl8821c_fw.bin [ 6.994260] bluetooth hci0: firmware: direct-loading firmware rtl_bt/rtl8821c_config.bin [ 8.628853] r8169 0000:01:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware rtl_nic/rtl8168h-2.fw [10603.022395] (NULL device *): firmware: direct-loading firmware rtl_bt/rtl8821c_fw.bin [10603.022420] (NULL device *): firmware: direct-loading firmware rtl_bt/rtl8821c_config.bin [10603.022601] (NULL device *): firmware: direct-loading firmware i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin [11124.667299] (NULL device *): firmware: direct-loading firmware i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin [11125.905593] bluetooth hci0: firmware: direct-loading firmware rtl_bt/rtl8821c_fw.bin [11125.905642] bluetooth hci0: firmware: direct-loading firmware rtl_bt/rtl8821c_config.bin then if a firmware fails to load, you determine which package to install. for example, here, i915 (intel graphic card with i915 module driver) needs a firmware.
