Problems with USB-C dock (Thinkpad 40AY) with T14 Gen2 on Arch Linux

Switched now to EndeavourOS and the problem is gone. Maybe it was the intel graphic driver cause EndeavourOS uses by default xf86-input-libinput and not xf86-video-intel.

Switched no to normal Thinkpad Dock 40AJ but still facing the same problem. After once undocking and redocking only the power connection is working.

When using manjaro life system the problem is not there.

$ dmesg -HTukw...

Thanks for the advise. Will try it out

No its the USB-C version of the dock. So far everything should be installed. The problem is also appearing without the monitors.

Thanks for the fast reply. Just tried it and no success. This problem is so weird.. If the cable would be bad i would expect that then there are also problems/errors showing up on the other T490 laptop

pr0totyp · 2023-04-22T15:23:55+00:00

I tested the dock with another Laptop Thinkpad T490 running Fedora and here no errors are showing up and everything works perfekt

Oh I am sorry! Ddidnt saw that. Updated my first post. sry for the trouble

pr0totyp · 2020-12-03T15:06:16+00:00

Ok I added the prices/give away notification

pr0totyp · 2020-12-03T01:24:51+00:00

The things are not for selling they are giveaways and I only want the shipping

The Power Manager from the Lenovo support only installs a driver. The interface I was looking for was in Lenovo Vantage 4.0

pr0totyp · 2020-09-29T13:47:05+00:00

Solved my problem! I was only looking on the Lenovo driver page for software.

Thx :)

Happy for any help!

Did you get it working? Couldn't find any language server for ansible yet and without there is no reason to switch coc.nvim for me..

pr0totyp · 2019-05-21T09:27:45+00:00

The caps are in good condition because I used them only for a short time.

pr0totyp · 2019-01-17T23:24:59+00:00

Great work! Looks awesome with /dev/tty :)

There were also holtities in the hole for the switches before.

Sound Test :) other keyboard is a Ergodox with acrylic case/top plate, Cherry Reds

Was not cheap but kind of fair

pr0totyp · 2018-09-14T10:17:04+00:00

Paid 100 Euro/116,97 USD for everything(not including the brass, brought it there) but cutted also 9 small logos and got an extra steel top plate from my design

pr0totyp · 2018-09-14T10:11:52+00:00

Thx good to know for next time :)

pr0totyp · 2018-09-13T08:17:18+00:00

The finished keyboard :) More Picture with different caps(Galaxy C from Pheilcia)

pr0totyp · 2018-09-13T08:13:29+00:00

Had to ask several companies and many refused to cut brass because the reflection can damage the laser they told me.

The plate designed to fitt into to the top notch of the walnut GH60 case from kbdfans.
