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.

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.

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:

1. In a terminal run:

   sudo nano /etc/default/grub
   

2. Navigate with the arrow keys on your keyboard to the place where it says:

   quiet splash
   

   and change it to:

   quiet loglevel=0 splash
   

3. Save the file and run:

   sudo update-grub 
   

4. 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.

Hi all,

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 have solved the issue.

blkid

I wrote above code to get datas of my partitions.

fsck /dev/sda5 -y

Above code worked for check error and fix. sda5 was swap partition. It hadn’t no error. So, I wrote again

fsck /dev/sda6 -y

sda6 was ext4 partition. Then, problem fixed.

You might have same issue as mine. You have check all your partitions(linux folders). Than, your problem will be fixed. Then, you can reboot by following code

reboot

But, it didn’t work for me. So, I just clicked on power off button. Then, I turn my laptop on.

Problem fixed…
