+ | === Provide firmware for certain hardware devices === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Debian does not ship so-called non-free firmware in its main package archive area. However, several network cards (and other TCE relevant devices) require the installation of a firmware package from Debian non-free. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Run the command '' | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | deb http:// | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then run (in your X2Go TCE chroot):< | ||
+ | $ apt-get update | ||
+ | $ apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-bnx2 firmware-bnx2x firmware-myricom firmware-netxen | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | If this command fails, please check if packages have been removed from your Debian version or if they are not yet available for your version. Also scan for other firmware packages:< | ||
+ | $ apt-cache search firmware | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Also, there is a fine tool that you can run on normal Linux systems that helps with the package installation for several special hardware devices: [[http:// | ||
