Help with compiling module patch for ACPI driver
Newbie to Linux having installed Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon 64-bit on a 12-year old Lenovo ThinkPad T61 a little over a week ago.
I am getting the ACPI error listed in this German-speaking forum and on post 11, there appears to be a patch to thinkpad_acpi to stop these error messages from appearing during boot: https://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/21...-thinkpad_acpi Direct link to specific post in the thread with the fix I'm trying to implement: https://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/21...=1#post2186926 Being new to Linux, how would I compile the code he has and get it loaded? He has this command listed but I know there's more to this: $ make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) M=$(dirname $(realpath "$0")) Any help would be greatly appreciated |
Is asking a follow-up question on that forum not an option? Seems like the subject has already been covered there.

It's a German forum and I do not speak German.
I was hoping there is perhaps a standard method for compiling such patches that it wouldn't necessarily require specific instructions. I think I'm just going to ignore the ACPI messages, it's not affecting functionality as far as I can tell. |
