I have a Vortex tablet with an intel Z3735F as a portable pc whilst abroad. I only need access to various accounts so no urgent need to splash out on anything newer.
Is there a way to skip TPM checks on bootup ? I have to wait 1:30 for it to timeout and its annoying.
Thanks
Does it have a secure boot setting that you can disable?
Secure boot is disabled.
Itās one of those tablets that needed a 32bit loader to install , Iām wondering if now that 64bit EOS is installed whether I can re-enable it, not that I want to.
If there is a file I can edit to ignore TPM checks Iād love to know.
Does it show TPM loading with the following command?
lsmod | grep tpm
Edit: Also go into Bios settings on the tablet and navigate to security or advanced settings. Locate TPM and disable it if itās available. Save and exit.
lsmod | grep tpm returns nothing at all.
I found TPM options elsewhere in the UEFI and changed from āhiddenā to āavailableā . No luck.
Then I found that after making it available I had a new option to activate it, no luck.
Then there was some yes/no option to clear TPM, still no luck.
There is a new error message now, the very first line when booting mentions TPM but it disappears before I can read it so Iāll take a photo and e back later.
EDIT:
the first lines to appear on screen are ā¦
tpm tpm0: A TPM error (714) ocurred attempting to create NULL primary
tpm tpm0: null key creation failde with 714
Booting initrd of dracut
It appears this happens in other distros too and systemd might be āresponsibleā as it seems to ignore a disabled or hidden tpm and tries to use it regardless.
It was solved here : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=296699
If that thread disappears I used ```
systemctl mask dev-tpmrm0.device
