I got rid of the startup error message by blacklisting the mei_me driver. To do that, you can add the following two lines at the end of the blacklist.conf file located in /etc/modprobe.d. Here are the steps just in case:
1. Open terminal 2. Type sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf 3. Scroll to the bottom of the file and add the following two lines: # Intel VPRO remote access technology driver blacklist mei_me 4. Save the file 5. Restart the computer --> Now, you should not get the error messages anymore on startup of the computer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1196155 Title: mei_me resets spamming dmesg Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: As you can see from the dmesg attached I'm getting the following every 5-10 seconds: [11332.456035] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: connect/disconnect timeout. [11332.456044] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING This was happening with raring but I blacklisted the mei module. With saucy it seems mei is included directly and is no longer loaded as a module.
