I installed Ubuntu 14.04 server on one of these HP Compaq dc7700 Small Form Factor PC machines.
After the first boot (after install), the command prompt constantly gets messages that look like this: [ 1352.248013] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: timer: connect/disconnect timeout. [ 1357.248022] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: timer: connect/disconnect timeout. [ 1358.248033] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: timer: connect/disconnect timeout. [ 1359.248053] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: timer: connect/disconnect timeout. [ 135.2486063] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: timer: connect/disconnect timeout. Every second this machine is on, logged in or not, these alerts bombard the terminal every second. ** Tags added: trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1176577 Title: [HP Compaq dc7700 Small Form Factor PC] mei unexpected reset in kernel 3.8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1176577/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
