Hello community! :wave: New Fedora user, first time asker. I have a headscratcher for you.

I have just upgraded my Lenovo laptop with Fedora 35, and after upgrade the USB-C cable no longer works. What I mean is that no cable connection is visible, but the laptop is charged.

Some details:

What I think is relevant is when I monitor journalctl -f the plug in I got this log:

Apr 12 10:05:34 fedora kernel: ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: UCSI_GET_PDOS failed (-95)

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what this could be about and on how to deal with this?

Thanks in advance :smiley:

Is this with a ThinkDock? I recall some firmware updates recently on my ThinkPad and ThinkDock around the USB-C connectivity. I suggest you run sudo fwupdmgr --refresh && sudo fwupdmgr update (while connected to your USB-C dock) to rule out what could be a vendor firmware issue.

hi @vwbusguy , thanks for sharing this suggestion. Its a ThinkPad - i really think its a problem with the kernel version and Intel Corportation driver; but don’t know how to fix it!

I tried your code and it didn’t work unfortunately. Thanks anyways!

I’m not sure about Lenovo for this, but I’ve definitely seen cases where certain OEMs hard-wire external displays to one of the video cards. While it’s usually wired to the internal, I’ve heard reports of the discrete card also being wired this way. If you recently disabled “Prime” in the BIOS and it’s hard-wired to the integrated graphics, that could cause this.

Just wanted to add that I had a similar issue with my USB-dock after a Fedora 37 beta update and running fwupdmgr did in fact fix my issue. I honestly don’t know why or what was broken in the first place, but I’m happy that the dock works again so I’ll just take the win!
