I see occasional errors ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: ucsi_handle_connector_change: ACK failed (-110) in journalctl. This occurs at the same time my external monitor randomly disconnects and reconnects. As best I can tell, this is something related to the usb-c connection to the monitor. I am directly connected, connected to power (stock framework brick). This does not occur on another laptop running F39 using the same monitor via USB-C via the back-right usb-c expansion card. I have the 3.03 BIOS update and still see this. The monitor is an Arzopa A1C.
To be fair, the monitor is just using USB-C for power and display. Iām kind of leaning towards the display as I approached troubleshooting, however, I have a similarly specād machine that doesnāt have this problem.
Just caught this. So you are using the USB-C connection to push video and for powering the display, this is likely where things are experiencing challenges. Does the display have the option of separate power to connect to? Would be worth testing against this if this is available.
Iāll test it again with an external power source. The only reason it wasnāt a concern was the fact that I connect the display to antother laptop directly via USB-C only with no problems. It aslo runs a 60W PD charger.
This happens when I connect a yubikey 5C Nano with power plugged and unplugged.
The Yubikey is working as Iām able to use it to while logging on to different systems but the key is not detected by the yubikey-manager but Iām not 100% sure if this is the reason why.
My system is a Framework 13 AMD 7840U with Fedora 39
Please do. Itās difficult to drill down on this as I lack the same display, but if we see a difference here it will at least give us and idea that itās power delivery related.
My fedora installation was initially done on the fedora 39 beta release with the bios that the laptop was shipped. Afterwards I did a couple of things:
upgraded the bios to 3.03 ( I believe this is the latest version)
upgraded the system to the recently official release of fedora 39 (via updates)
With this setup I was getting the previous message with the ucsi_handle_connector_change
After your previous message I decided to to a clean install with the official release of Fedora 39 because I wanted to also encrypt my drive, after doing a clean install I no longer see any message:
ucsi_handle_connector_change: ACK failed (-110)
I now see:

But I see there are other threads discussing this so, for now I think my participation in this thread is done
I havenāt had time yet. I daily drive for work. Iād be happy to give it a go, but I need to clear some time.
I actually have a bunch of todoās on my list that I need to report to you for other issues. Iāll see if I can make some time this week to test/respond to them all.
I am getting these persistently irrespective of kernel; and sans external monitor - just with normal plug/unplug of Power and sometimes from suspend/hibernate
I tested on a stock reinstall with latest updates as of today. I still see the a lot of the following whenever any USB device is connected. That includes the stock framework power supply.
What makes this more confusing is it doesnāt address the problem with the display resetting on me. Those errors donāt correlate with the actual screen resettingā¦It started happening the second I opened 1passwordās site and persisted until I turned the brightness on the display down below 100%.
I just donāt know what to make of it. Iām really not sure I want to pursue it for now. Iāve worked around the issue by setting the display to 85% brightness and all is stable. So most-likely bad display.
As for USB disconnect errors, I donāt see any adverse affects otherwise, everything else behaves, works as expected and is responsive despite the errors showing up occasionally.
As far as I am concerned, itās been noted and I am satisfied with how everything behaves that I donāt consider it a āFramework supportā issue anymore. Iāll leave it up to you and whoever else on the thread wants to drive this, as for me, I am not going to pursue this any further for now.
Thanks jwp. We have added this to our AMD tracker.
Appreciate that. Weāre working with our partners to better drill down on this. We have active issues filed (with our partners) and this process continues on.
Somewhere along the line I did some more testing. The external display hiccup has gone away. The original work-around was to keep the external monitor at 85% brightness. If I got to 100% brightness, instability was introduced. Now I am able to go to 100% brightness. There is no firmware for the monitor. The only thing is keeping F39 updated. There have been a number of firmware releases and kernel releases since I last visted. I am curious if anybody else is seeing improvement? @jwp?
I personally consider this issue resolved. As for others, I would agree at this point, it may be worth looking down the Fedora community routeā¦Actually, there has been no response, I see no reason not to consider this solved. Not sure if I should upate the title, or leave it to framework to update.
Getting the same thing here with the Framework 13 AMD.
Seems linked to the power delivery of the USB-C as I get this disconnection error on my Ploopy Headphones when my analog output is set to full volume(100%) in GNOME. When itās at 100% itās usually fine, but in some songs with high vocal range it causes this disconnect issue. The temp solution I found is to set it one notch under the full volume range. USB-C bottom-right corner btw.
Can anybody reproduce this with this song at 1:43 with Ploopy at the max volume that it disconnects the headphones for you too?
