[Bug 1953261] Re: kernel >= 5.13 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference

@linrunner: Thanks for the explanation that tlp will mostly work without acpi-call-dkms and completely without it in the future! Also your warning hint from the TLP doc might help some people here: "Warning: On Ubuntu 21.10 and 20.04.4 the acpi-call-dkms packages in the official repositories are

Thanks! Unfortunally not possible to switch to legacy boot like this. Also I think I've read somewhere that efivars can only be accessed from a uefi boot session. No I have not set something like "efi_no_storage_paranoia". It was a standard ubuntu 20.04 installation with tlp installed from the

Thanks for your reply raph! Yes I tried pressing F1 repeatedly after pressing the power button. I also tried using an external USB keyboard. Also tried F12 for boot menu. But the error seems to block startup before it checks if F1/F12 are pressed. As described earlier, the first two/three times

I could imagine that this error potentially also affects other Thinkpad models. Of course if they have a larger NVRAM it will take longer for the dump files to fill it up. Maybe even weeks if only a few dump files are generated with each restart. At least some newer models like the X1 Yoga seem to

Sadly no. When turning the laptop on, there is the info screen with bios version etc. visible for two seconds. Then the Error Message appears: „Error: The non-volatile variable storage is about full. Press F1 to enter Setup.“ At first it was possible to enter BIOS setup and then exit the setup to

Me and my brothers each own a Thinkpad x131e and were running Ubuntu 20.04 with tlp very smoothly. Until with the recent kernel update 5.13 three weeks ago each of us encountered the error `Error: The Non-Volatile Variable Storage is About Full` on boot. At first the error could be ignored by

Now that the new version was released to the "updates" channel I tried a regular Update using the default Ubuntu update-manager GUI. I don't have tinyjsd or jsunit installed so I expected everything to go smoothly. Instead the update-manager proposes a partial system update to install the
