I can't install Non-free firmware

[ronaldbruna07]

I've proxmox-ve: 8.1.0 (running kernel: 6.5.13-1-pve) running, and I've configured a LXC for Frigate. I got it to work properly with no hw accelerator nor TPU but now I'm trying to give the container access to the GPU.

I've read several post but I haven't been able to install the non free firmware for the GPU.

What I've done so far:

I followed this steps: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/i...hout-removing-meta-package-proxmox-ve.134675/ and I did change the firmware to firmware-amd-graphics_20230625-2_all.deb

After I dpkg and try to update initramfs I get this error:

root@proxmoxve:~# update-initramfs -k all -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.5.13-1-pve

No /etc/kernel/proxmox-boot-uuids found, skipping ESP sync.
Couldn't find EFI system partition. It is recommended to mount it to /boot or /efi.
Alternatively, use --esp-path= to specify path to mount point.

I'm new to Linux so my skills are pretty basic and I don't want to reinstall Proxmox. Is there a way to mount the EFI? is that the right way to go? I guess I'd have to add grub but I don't even know how to do that. I'm pretty good at following guides though. Please help.

I've read several post but I haven't been able to install the non free firmware for the GPU.

You need to add non-free-firmware to your nano /etc/apt/sources.list ...

Thank you so much. I got it working following your advice. I'd read in other threads to add the non-free driver manually but never got it to work.
