I am getting the following error message as a list of 4 or 5 lines with differing numbers at the beginning of each line during boot for a long while:
ima: error communicating to tpm chip
I am using Ubuntu 19.04 (though this error was existing for a while at the older versions) and my computer is a Toshiba Z930.

It is simple: just enable TPM from the BIOS setup.
To change the BIOS settings you can hit F2 during boot before Ubuntu starts. Please be sure not to change anything else if your computer is working properly.

If you couldn’t find TPM, it appears as Intel Platform Trust Technology in the Security section of the BIOS. I had to disable that setting in order to get rid of that error.

TPM may not be named clearly in the BIOS settings. In my BIOS, it definitely was not. The setting was initially disabled and required setting a password before it could be enabled. There was a sub-setting to allow the Operating System to make changes.
If you don’t have a configuration password, check for security settings that are disabled and can not be changed. Try setting a password and enable the configuration.

I had to boot into my motherboard Bios Setup by pressing esc to get into the Startup Menu then F10 to get into Computer setup or cut it short by pressing F10 before the OS boots up . After getting into the Bios Setup -and that primarily applies to my bios UI version and other similar ones- just
- Move to
Securitytab - Navigate down to select the
System Securitymenu option - Another popup menu with the
Embedded Security Deviceoption would be most probably disabled. - Escape back out of the menu then navigate up to
Setup Password - Set up a new password
- sway back to the
Embedded Security Deviceto get it enabled.
- Also make sure to enable all the options -or at least the one you want to enable- at the
Device Securityoption .
Just as a side note, this error is somehow interconnected with Ata comreset failed (errno=-16). So if by any chance someone googled this otherwise different error message and landed on this page, then then this solution might resolve the issue at this particular case .

Not always the BIOS gives you the options for TPM for granted. So on my Elitebook 8570P it is simply NOT possible to alter the TPM settings in any way.
Of course you do not want the messages at the startup prompt during and in between the boot-splash. So you can do the following:
-
In a terminal run:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub -
Navigate with the arrow keys on your keyboard to the place where it says:
quiet splashand change it to:
quiet loglevel=0 splash -
Save the file and run:
sudo update-grub -
Reboot and you will see that there are no messages anymore of the TPM error.
This tip is mostly for people who do not want to mess in the BIOS. Tested this on a HP Elitebook 8570P with Jammy Jellyfish fresh installed.

Как правильно задавать вопросы
Правильно сформулированный вопрос и его грамотное оформление способствует высокой вероятности получения достаточно содержательного и по существу ответа. Общая рекомендация по составлению тем: 1. Для начала воспользуйтесь поиском форума. 2. Укажите версию ОС вместе с разрядностью. Пример: LM 19.3 x64, LM Sarah x32 3. DE. Если вопрос касается двух, то через запятую. (xfce, KDE, cinnamon, mate) 4. Какое железо. (достаточно вывод inxi -Fxz в спойлере (как пользоваться спойлером смотрим здесь)) или же дать ссылку на hw-probe 5. Суть. Желательно с выводом консоли, логами. 6. Скрин. Просьба указывать 2, 3 и 4 независимо от того, имеет ли это отношение к вопросу или нет. Так же не забываем об общих правилах Как пример вот

Да нет с жесткого диска, один на 500 на нем lm, второй на 250 на нем WIN7. BOOT0 так и остался ? Может из-за GRUB ? т.к после обновления он слетел, восстановил через BOOT REPAIR DISK. установил на весь диск 500 гб, а не на раздел с LINUX. Вроде правильно же

Ну сначала можно перейти по ссылке и выполнить то что там написано:
Зайти в БИОС и если чип TPM включён — выключить, если выключен — то включить. Должно быть где-то в разделе «Security».
(Хотя убунте раньше было пофиг на все эти ТРМ-ы. Может что поменялось)

UPD: Хотя чисто интуитивно… этот чип — он для очень специфических корпоративных задач, и обычным юзерам сроду не нужен был. Так что не думаю, что проблемы с доступом к нему будут прерывать загрузку. Вероятно, проблема где-то ещё, просто сообщение не падает в лог.

Как решить сообщения «ima: ошибка связи с чипом tpm» во время загрузки
Я получаю следующее сообщение об ошибке в виде списка из 4 или 5 строк с разными номерами в начале каждой строки во время загрузки в течение длительного времени:
Я использую Ubuntu 19.04 (хотя эта ошибка существовала некоторое время в более старых версиях), и мой компьютер — Toshiba Z930.

Это просто: просто включите TPM из настройки BIOS.
Чтобы изменить настройки BIOS, вы можете нажать F2 во время загрузки до запуска Ubuntu. Пожалуйста, не меняйте ничего, если ваш компьютер работает нормально.
Если вы не можете найти TPM, он отображается как Intel Platform Trust Technology в разделе безопасности BIOS. Мне пришлось отключить эту настройку, чтобы избавиться от этой ошибки.
Название TMP может быть нечетким в настройках BIOS. В моем биосе его точно не было. Этот параметр был изначально отключен, и для его включения требовалось установить пароль. Был дополнительный параметр, позволяющий операционной системе вносить изменения.
Если у вас нет пароля конфигурации, проверьте параметры безопасности, которые отключены и не могут быть изменены. Попробуйте установить пароль и включите конфигурацию.
Мне пришлось загрузиться в мою материнскую плату, нажав esc , чтобы войти в Startup Menu затем F10 попасть в Computer setup или прервите его, нажав F10 перед загрузкой ОС . После попадания в Bios Setup — и это в первую очередь относится к моей версии пользовательского интерфейса BIOS и другим подобным — просто
- Перейти к Security вкладка
- Перейдите вниз, чтобы выбрать System Security пункт меню
- Другое всплывающее меню с опцией, скорее всего, будет отключено.
- Выйдите из меню, затем перейдите к Setup Password
- Установить новый пароль
- вернуться к Embedded Security Device чтобы включить его.
- Также не забудьте включить все параметры или, по крайней мере, тот, который вы хотите включить, на Device Security вариант .
Как примечание, эта ошибка как-то взаимосвязана с Ata comreset failed (errno=-16) . Так что, если кто-то случайно погуглил это другое сообщение об ошибке и попал на эту страницу, то это решение может решить проблему в этом конкретном случае.

New laptop arrived, installed latest Mint to duel boot with Win10 and it all runs like a dream. One oddity though..
When booting into Mint I see for a very brief moment six or so lines saying error communicating to tpm chip
I have searched and found about nine other questions about this but no solutions. One no-doubt well meaning soul even had a noob tune up his installation with a multitude of changes to defaults before finally admiting that in fact nothing he had done would bring a solution!
Given that apart from these messages at boot time everything seems to function as intended.. I’m not overly concerned but it would be nice to get to the bottom of this if possible.

Do you want to actually use the TPM or do you just want the error message to go away? If you are only concerned about the error message I do not think it is of any concern.
I have several mobos with TPM but I get no error. OTOH I do not use the TPM. Even though in the past I thought I might use it one day, I later decided I’d rather not as it creates more risk than it solves.

My employer requires the TPM module to be fitted but I’m not intending to use this for work anytime soon, so I’ve disabled it now. This meant I had to set up a new Pin number in Windows, no biggie. No error msg’s at boot time is a pleasing thing
Thanks for jumping in, all and any help is appreciated.

I have LM 19.3 installed and running and I thought I would give LM 20 a LIVE try and, sure enough, I got the same «failure to communicate error» so I disabled the TPM and the error went away.
Some years ago I was looking forward to TPM thinking it would add security but now I am of the opposite opinion and have no interest in using it.
The only reason I see for using it is in large organizations where people connect remotely and the organization wants to authenticate the hardware as one more level of security. For individual home users I see no reason or advantage. I see it more as a liability as with the TPM on the computer can more easily be tracked.

I can not help, but I have the same problem (well, it might not be a real problem) and I’d like to point to it: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=327629 (it’s basically a different issue, but also the TPM error occurs)
I have to similar boards (ASRock J5005-ITX and J4105-ITX, both Intel Gemini Lake), both running with upgraded Linux Mint 20 XFCE.
The J4105-ITX has a newer Beta-BIOS.
On both systems Intel PPT (Intel Platform Trust Technology) is activated. I’ve checked it right now in the BIOS and this is the only option for TPM.
On one system (J5005) everything is fine and I don’t get an error.
On the other system (J4105, newer beta BIOS) I have the error «ima: Error Communicating to TPM chip» (8 times).
It looks like this error is new, since I’ve upgraded to Mint 20 now.

Probably you will be able to activate TPM in the UEFI/BIOS after you applied/mounted a TPM-Chip/Module to the TPM-Header of your mainboard (see the manual).
Windows 11 will like it if it’s a version 2.0 module.
Most systems today support TPM but it’s typically not enabled by default as many of us never use it. All that aside, the first thing you need to do is to enable TPM in your UEFI/BIOS. How to access and enable that varies depending on Manufacturer, so check your system manual or motherboard manual to locate directions for the process. Once you’ve toggled support on you can check with
Here’s my output:
Then you can check for support with
Install as instructed and try again.
tpm_version Tspi_Context_Connect failed: 0x00003011 — layer=tsp, code=0011 (17), Communication failure
Odds are good you don’t have TPM support or don’t have a TPM chip or you’ve failed to properly toggle TPM support on in your UEFI/BIOS.
TPMs don’t necessarily appear in the ACPI tables, but the modules do print a message when they find a supported module; for example
So dmesg | grep -i tpm is a good way to check.

I’m on an HP Z400 running Cinnamon edition. I get those same errors at bootup, but other then the annoying 4-6 lines at boot. My system runs fine. So I just ignore the error message.
taking it to 11
I am trying to migrate from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 18.04, on a Sager laptop with an RTX 2070 graphics card. However I get the following error messages when trying to use/install Ubuntu:
...Error communicating to TPM chip
...
...Failed to create kernel channel -22
My TPM chip was originally enabled in BIOS. I tried booting both with TPM enabled (also with «Clear TPM» sub-setting both enabled and disabled) and disabled, but still could not get past the Ubuntu loading screen. How do I fix this issue?

When trying to install Ubuntu 20 from a USB, the installation process was stuck on: «error connecting to TPM chip». I found it was probably because of the Nvidia video drivers, so I disconnected the Nvidia video card physically, and could finally finish the installation. After Ubuntu was correctly installed, I pluged-in the video card, the system started correctly, downloaded, and installed the Nvidia drivers successfully. Hope this helps
