Hello,

I upgraded my updated Debian v11.8 to v12.2 last night. Most things worked. I noticed this every time I log into (not before and at the log in screen) my Xfce in my sudo dmesg -T:
...
[Thu Nov 30 20:36:10 2023] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: firmware: failed to load nouveau/nv84_xuc00f (-2)
[Thu Nov 30 20:36:10 2023] firmware_class: See https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware for information about missing firmware
[Thu Nov 30 20:36:10 2023] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: firmware: failed to load nouveau/nv84_xuc00f (-2)
[Thu Nov 30 20:36:10 2023] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for nouveau/nv84_xuc00f failed with error -2
[Thu Nov 30 20:36:10 2023] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: vp: unable to load firmware nouveau/nv84_xuc00f
[Thu Nov 30 20:36:10 2023] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: vp: init failed, -2

I read this is related to my video card so that would be my very old NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (512 MB of VRAM) in my old PC. Should I worry about this even though my X seems to work?

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon.

VP1 doesn't get firmware from nouveau.
The old binary blob for your card will also not run on current Debian
without patching.

As long as everything works that you need, don't worry.
