Sounds like audio is broken with the 6.17 kernel in Ubuntu 25.10 (I know it is a Beta after all) but just wanted to report it.
Is anyone else having issues with too fast charging and using laptop at the same time?
I noticed that if I attach X13s to the docking station (model is SATECHI Thunderbolt 4 Dock) with battery around 10% and keep using it, then it will charge up to 52-53% (at 45W speed) and then charging just stops.
However, if I do same thing with Windows, then charging speed will be lower (around 20W) but laptop will have no problem reaching 100% eventually.
Is anyone have similar experience? Kernel version is Linux 6.16.8.
Please file a bug:

Just upgraded to Q and sound works fine on my X13s. Make sure you run kernel 6.17.0-5-generic.

Hi @juergh I installed Ubuntu 25.10 (questing) today.
Any idea how to get the Night Light working?

@juergh Just in case… I’ve filed this feature request as a “bug” 
Nightlight typically requires gamma/LUT support in the DRM driver. Not sure where that’s at, need to check when time permits.

Anyone else had the trackpoint and its 3 buttons stopped working just now? I seem to recall some update yesterday (a 6.14 kernel etc). I am on 25.04 and din’t use the new kernel since I have been on a nice 6.15 for quite some time. Tried several different kernels and both xorg and wayland. When on xorg, the trackpoint doesnt show up on xinput.

Since upgrading to 25.10, my Bluetooth hasn’t worked at all. Is this just me?
The audio output works for me after upgrading to 25.10

Nightlight is working for me since 25.04 (Kubuntu). Since 25.10 is excellent working
@rauchweihe Good to know that displaynight-light and built-in audio work ok on your system with Ubuntu 25.10. I ran the Ubuntu 25.10 system update on my laptop today and the nightlight and audio are not working (yet).
For a hardware comparison, would you mind sharing the output from the below shell command:
$ sudo dmidecode -t baseboard -t system | egrep -vi '(Serial Number|UUID)'

Thanks to “rauchweihe”. so the built-in sound and the display night-light are both working well on your Lenovo model 21BX001MGE ( with 1TB storage, and cellular radio) under Ubuntu 25.10. Though my Lenovo model is slightly different - 21BX0013US (with 256GB storage but without cellular radio) the system SKU numbers are identical (i.e. LENOVO_MT_21BX_BU_Think_FM_ThinkPad X13s Gen 1).
I wonder if anyone on this forum ever had success with the built-in sound and display night-light features on the below United States product model,21BX0013US
Thank you.
Open Sound Firmware maybe missing… Used in a lot of Intel and AMD products, but dropped support for older ones… maybe not required…
sudo apt install firmware-sof-signed
apt show firmware-sof-signed
apt list *firmware* like bluez for bt…
amid common problems in sound issues, there is also option to tune problem in dmesg with some driver with:
lsmod
modinfo snd_hda_intel for issues like this or when some drivers or its some setup(piperwire, rt, preempt) cause some weird behavior on kernel init - journalctl -b
but according some Intel NUC guides, it could be also some UEFI/BIOS settings…
there are also issues with /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf setup, driver hdmi sound(there is intel kernel driver for that) output and mostly also with index and msi_enable tunables(msi are IRQs enablement) but also maybe mixer failures as longtime issue not only there…
Hi, @hifron Thank you for the note about sound issues with Intel based systems; but the sound issue I’m having is with the ARM64 based ThinkPad x13s though.
Perhaps, you meant to post your message on some other thread for a sound issue I was having with an Intel-based laptop.
Thank you.
