I get the fwupd on these machines, but from what I've read the TMP is
a separate chip on these machines and is not programmable. I checked
the Lenovo web site under support and for these models. The page
starts out with an "Out of Support" banner. Though there is a BIOS
update available (only implemented through Windows), there is no TPM
update available. They do seem to make TPM updates for the newer
machines. Oh well back to budgeting for newer machines. I can't really
complain. I bought these for a little over $100 each as manufacturer
rehabbed about 7 years ago. Now I'll just buy some rehabbed i3s or
i5s. These can be repurposed for something where TPM doesn't matter.
They still run fine after all.
Did I miss why you can't just disable TPM? I doubt that you're using it.
The TPM was enabled in the BIOS/UEFI by default. I tried it both enabled
and disabled, but still got the TMP2 failures every 3 seconds. That's
why I removed the tpm2-abrmd package. That solved the problem.
I also sort of doubt that any of these PCs actually use it. However, I
have no view of what all uses TPM on Fedora workstation. My guess would
be things like Keyring, The password retention and Master password in
Firefox, BIOS passwords and encrypted drives, but I don't really know.
Have a Great Day!
