Trying to step up dual boot on my Windows machine. I'm getting an error about firmware. I've chased a bunch of leads with no real solution.

From REF

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade 
sudo reboot

But I can't even get to a terminal before installation. Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • Could you try the command line interface by `Ctrl+Alt+F1` `(or F2 or 3 and so on F7` at this stage. – ankit7540 Jan 11 '17 at 06:29
  • Where will that take me ? to a console/terminal to run apt get etc? what if I don't have drivers to download? – Armeen Moon Jan 11 '17 at 06:50
  • Does trying to boot an Ubuntu 16.10 ISO result in the same issue? – Jeremy31 Jan 11 '17 at 10:37
  • @Jeremy31 I'll try that tonight! Good Idea. – Armeen Moon Jan 11 '17 at 15:53

    I don't think it is wireless related but I am sure that Ubuntu 16.10 has the firmware needed on the ISO even though there has never been a /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-5.bin as it doesn't exist even in [linux-firmware-next](http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0) – Jeremy31 Jan 11 '17 at 23:16
