@gake agree, thanks. @d3vilguard sorry for my super late response, I think you're right: made acpi a mandatory dependency.

Upstream url should be changed to the actual repo https://github.com/Wer-Wolf/i8kutils

Should be noted that acpi is very much so not a (optional) dep if one wants to use i8kmon as a service. Service will fail without it. I'd suggest making it into a normal dep :)

this should really be switched for the version on github. this is horribly years out of date and won't work on new systems.

Version 1.44 works on kernel 5.19 (laptop Dell Inspiron 13 5378 and kernel 5.19.12-zen1-1-zen in my case). You can get it here: https://github.com/Wer-Wolf/i8kutils

On Kernel 5.18 this does not work anymore since the i8k proc interface (which was deprecated) was removed from the arch kernel. So currently it does not work using the latest kernel, need to keep using a kernel <5.18

I just want to point out that the included i8kmon.service is not the one installed by the PKGBUILD.

I'm using dell-bios-fan-control in addition to disable BIOS fan control.

Must do:

/etc/modprobe.d/i8k.conf ->editor input-> options i8k force=1

In /etc/modules-load.d/i8k.conf ->editor input-> i8k

Then i8kutils fan control service starts at boot.

Would be great if this is done when installing.

Else must do a >>> sudo modprobe i8k force=1 <<< every reboot to work: systemctl status i8kmon

       ● i8kmon.service - Dell laptop thermal monitoring

          Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/i8kmon.service; enabled; vendor

       preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead)

       Condition: start condition failed at Wed 2019-04-03 19:10:38 CEST; 27s ago

       └─ ConditionPathExists=/proc/i8k was not met

:(

How to autostart this properly on Manjaro XFCE?
