I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS on an Intel NUC 9 Pro with a Nvidia Quadro P2200
My main problem is that my fans rev up and down on a continuous loop even when the computer is idle. Temps are fine so this should not be happeing and only started after running apt upgrade
which included a lot of updates including many nvidia packages. Everything seems to work fine aside from the fans spinning up.
When booting up I get these error messages:
[ 0.657529] tpm tpm0: [Firmware Bug]: TPM interrupt not working,
polling instead
After reboot I get a notification in the top bar stating:
An error occured. please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'Unknown Error: '<class 'KeyError'>' ("The cache has no package named 'xserver-xorg-video-dummy:amd64'")'. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies.
When I run apt-cache search video-dummy
it returns:
xserver-xorg-video-dummy - X.Org X server -- dummy display driver
xserver-xorg-video-dummy-hwe-18.04 - Transitional package for xserver-xorg-video-dummy-hwe-18.04
nvidia-smi
returns:

What I'm wondering is, might these error messages be related to the problem with the fans? How should I go about fixing the video-dummy error? Is this firmware bug something that needs fixing, google says it can be ignored. How would I fix the problem with the fans? I can't help but wonder if this is related to Nvidia updates.
I'm not an expert so go easy on me ;D Any help appreciated, thanks.
