Error Messages - dmesg -l err

What have you tried: I am new linux user from past few days, I am getting these msgs when rebooting.

What is the error: Screenshot attached

What device is this on: Sony Vaio Laptop VPCEH

I would appreciate any help regarding these critical errors indicated in dmesg log. My laptop has a nvidia graphics card and still I have not managed to install the right driver for it.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119M [GeForce 410M] (rev a1)

Any help would be much appreciated.

That’s an old nvidia chipset, you need the older series drivers for that.
The other messages relate to an atheros chipset and a realtek chipset by the look, the bluetooth message is probably related to the atheros or realtek issue as well, as bluetooth is usually provided by the onboard wireless network chipset.

you could try;

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-detect
sudo apt install firmware-atheros
sudo apt install firmware-realtek

first use nvidia-detect to find the gpu and install correct drivers for it;

nvidia-detect

and then a full shutdown and reboot should sort the rest..
