I installed Ubuntu 16.04 via linuxium in my Lenovo Ideapad 100s, then wiped out Ubuntu Desktop and installed Ubuntu Server using tasksel. And after installing tlp, I get the messages

axp288_fuel_gauge: ADC charge current read failed

and 

thinkpad_acpi: Not yet supported Thinkpad detected!

when I boot. The messages don't appear when I remove tlp. Is there way to solve this problem or at least hide those messages?

After I tried from same environment after reinstalling Ubuntu, axp288_fuel_gauge: ADC charge current read failed does not appear but thinkpad_acpi: Not yet supported Thinkpad detected! still appears. The same message appears when I start tlp.

  • Two questions for clarification: Did you install 'tlp' frum the Ubuntu repositories, or the linrunner PPA? And did you also install 'tp-smapi-dkms'? – Charles Green Jan 06 '18 at 17:38
  • @Charles Green I installed from ubuntu repositories. I didn't installed what you asked manually but I can find it from apt list and when I type ' apt install tp-smapi-dkms' apt shows several packages that i can install – cody Jan 07 '18 at 01:34
  • The question has been closed which prevents me from writing an answer; however the TLP documentation indicates that for a thinkpad, either tp-smapi-dkms or acpi-call-dkms is required for thinkpads - both should be installed, and if unneeded, they will not be active. Please try sudo apt install tlp tlp-rdw tp-smapi-dkms acpi-call-dkms and see if the error recurs. – Charles Green Jan 07 '18 at 02:10
  • The question was probably closed because of unclarity - what is linuxium, why are you using it, and why didn't you simply download a server installation from ubuntu.com? – Charles Green Jan 07 '18 at 02:11
  • @Charles Green linuxium is script that allow intel atom pcs to boot linux(I read that they need 32bit bootloader to boot 64bit OS so can't boot in usual way I dont know what it technically means) and it includes some useful settings for atom(like wifi audio firmware...). The script doesn't support server one so I installed desktop and wiped out desktop. My laptop is actually ideapad one(not thinkpad) so I cant understand why thinkpad error appears. I'm installing ubuntu again and I'll try your advice thanks! – cody Jan 07 '18 at 02:29
  • In case it doesnt work do you know how to hide those messages? – cody Jan 07 '18 at 02:56
  • No, although you could try to comment on some of the answers to this question - a couple of people had reported varying levels of success getting the ideapad to operate – Charles Green Jan 07 '18 at 05:34

The message "thinkpad_acpi: Not yet supported Thinkpad detected!" is triggered by TLP. To check whether it's running on a ThinkPad it tries to load thinkpad_acpi kernel module.

But the real cause is the kernel module thinkpad_acpi itself, which confuses your Ideapad with an unknown ThinkPad model.

Solution: either ignore the message or file a bug report against the kernel.

Remark: don't confuse thinkpad_acpi – part of the standard kernel – with tp-smapi – additional dkms package needed – or acpi-call. Neither tp-smapi nor acpi-call a related to the error. TLP tries them only after thinkpad_acpi was successfully loaded.
