While scrolling through the output of `journalctl -b` I came across a warning (marked yellow): [ 0.659825] wmi_bus wmi_bus-PNP0C14:00: WQBC data block query control method not found Now, since this is a warning, I get, ergo, warned. What is it that I get warned about? Is it just a printf or is some action required? As every computer, the laptop suffers from various problems from time to time (e.g., boot or wakeup silently hangs up while the manufacturer splash screen is displayed), so, I don't know whether this message could be related to any of such problems. Here is the context of this warning in dmesg: # dmesg | grep -B 10 -A 5 "method not found" [ 0.518379] rtc_cmos 00:02: setting system clock to 2020-08-05T15:23:54 UTC (1596641034) [ 0.519455] Freeing unused decrypted memory: 2040K [ 0.520119] Freeing unused kernel image memory: 2712K [ 0.531430] Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 22528k [ 0.532242] Freeing unused kernel image memory: 2008K [ 0.532805] Freeing unused kernel image memory: 1192K [ 0.540186] x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
