Oh no, no new features! Just an update from the previous version to work with the renamed kernel module dell-smm-hwmon. The package also was cleanup to removed unused features. I can say now that i8kutils is becoming a daemon that monitors system temperature without UI.

That's great news, do we have new features?

I am about to release i8kutils 1.43. If you can look at the source code, and point suggestions, I can include the modifications in the version. https://github.com/vitorafsr/i8kutils

Couldn't load on my Dell Inspiron 1300: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'dell_smm_hwmon': No such device However, `modprobe i8k force=1` worked flawlessly and all the functionality is there.

You have to check if the fan(s) can be throttled in command line with i8kfan, for example on my vostro laptop: (as root) # i8kfan -1 0 (which means there is no left fan and the right fan is off) # i8kfan - 1 (turns the right fan on at the minimum level) # i8kfan - 2 (turns the right fan at the maximum level) # i8kfan - 0 (turns the right fan off) On my laptop the bios always takes the control in case if high temp: I can force the fan to be on, but I cannot force the fan to be off when the cpu is too hot for the bios to avoid cpu burn. I used to map sudoed-'i8kfan' commands with keyboard shortcuts in my window manager.

Fix i8kmon button click bug with a small patch (note: it seems already fixed upstream)
