I have been running Ubuntu on my HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p189sa for the last few years without any issues. I recently upgraded to the latest version of Ubuntu 23.10 (I believe) and since then I have been unable to boot the pc as I get spammed with the following error until I force power down the PC.

ACPI Error no handler or method for gpe … Disabling event (20230331/evgpe) (manually copying this as I don’t know how to record it.

I have tried a fresh install from USB and various additions to the kernel such as pci=nommconf and apci=strict to no avail. When I try apci=off I get a blank screen.

If anyone knows of a way to fix this I would be very grateful!

  • If this error message does not affect any of your use cases, you can usually just ignore it. – Daniel T Jan 21 '24 at 06:41
  • The error prevents booting with an interminable stream of those errors until I turn off the pc using the power button. I’ve updated the post to clarify that – nobodysknees Jan 22 '24 at 07:45
  • Try https://askubuntu.com/a/1373384 acpi_mask_gpe=0x?? with the actual number you left out in "gpe ... Disabling" – Daniel T Jan 22 '24 at 07:53
  • I finally got around to trying this! Originally I thought it might just be GPE 65 but using my phone's slo mo camera I can read some others. I get errors for GPE 0A, 0B, 0C, (D, E, F), 60, 64 and 65. – nobodysknees Feb 04 '24 at 05:57
  • Should I just add in a series of commands as mentioned in that post? acpi_mask_gpe=0x0A, acpi_mask_gpe=0x0B ... etc. The battery on this laptop doesn't hold a charge anymore so I run it (or used to lol) while plugged in. Could these errors be associated with this? – nobodysknees Feb 04 '24 at 06:03
  • Idk, if that will work, but it also accepts a list, and you can examine the syntax, which also supports ranges, for example =123-456,500. You need to convert the hex to decimal, which you do by typing the 0x0a, etc into a python3 shell. It could indeed be battery-related, I get them as another error on mine, and I suggest removing the battery if you don't need it – Daniel T Feb 04 '24 at 06:14
