FYI: Still not stable on 24.10/25.04: Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 AMD (Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360)

FYI, my experience with the Lenovo T14s: Despite being mentioned as certified hardware my T14s is not running stable yet with 25.04, nor was it stable with 24.10 (ok, the certification mentions 24.04 LTS, but still). The firmware was always up to date using the excellent firmware updater.

With 25.05 I get occasional freezes when disabling WiFi, and sometimes when closing the lid, with 24.10 some graphical operations seemed to freeze the hardware. Only pressing the power button for very long is left as an option in this case.

All components do work however. Will try a 6.15 and 6.16 once released.

Please provide specific information about what is not working.

Logs, terminal output, something we can work with to help diagnose any issues.

Thanks.

This post was moved from “desktop” to “support help”. In “desktop” it was mostly meant as a FYI.

I get no terminal output, and in journalctl -f --boot -1 (or other numbers) nothing interesting in the last seconds, except when it crashed on suspend:

kernel: PM: suspend entry (s2idle)

Other entries in a 5 second window are:
rtkit-daemon[3274]: Supervising 8 threads of 5 processes of 1 users.
systemd[1]: NetworkManager-dispatcher.service: Deactivated successfully.
systemd-timesyncd[828]: Contacted time server 185.125.190.56:123 (ntp.ubuntu.com).

And, should I try to shut down properly: systemd-journald[31203]: Journal stopped

(ok, the certification mentions 24.04 LTS, but still).

There you go. It only mentions 24.04.

Right, added to the title. Still, if it was stable on LTS, that would be a bad regression in some kernel or userspace component.

Not sure why you wanted it in a desktop discussion, but it wasn’t appropriate there.

There you go. It’s only guaranteed to work with what it was tested with. All other bets are off.

The reason it was moved here is because the community may be able to help with it and resolve your issues, but Canonical did not guarantee 25.04 to work with that laptop, only 24.04 LTS.

Note that this testing Canonical does does not come for free, the Vendors/Manufacturers pay for each certification which is why they usually pick an LTS option only since that lasts longer for them to sell the device with.

For them paying for getting a device certified with a release users need to update after 6 months does simply not make sense (not to mention that it is unlikely they would ever sell the device with such a release pre-installed).
