When I run Kali live it works but when I try to install as OS on harddrive it says missing firmare files and asks do i want to add them from a removal device. The pc is an Acer Aspire E15 currently running ubuntu. I downloaded kali 19.4 iso and burned on usb using rufus. I need help getting these firmware files to complete installation I think. When I continue install and choose to add firmware files later it goes all the way to configure network and just stays there. Nothing happens. Any tips?

Install etcher and reburn the usb via etcher.

It is the most simple tool for the task and works perfectly.

Else use dd

dd if=kali-linux-2019.4-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=512k

(X being whatever the drive letter actually is)
