Getting ath10k error on fresh boot of Ubuntu (Qualcomm Atheros wireless)

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 – Jeremy31 Jan 11 '17 at 23:16
you were right @jeremy31 – Armeen Moon Jan 12 '17 at 02:38
