Arch Linux User Repository

@dude yep, the examples where great help, thanks!

@SaberJ64 It looks like you have /usr/lib/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi.conf mixed up with /etc/thinkfan.conf. For thinkfan.conf, check /usr/share/doc/thinkfan/examples/.

@anthezium I install package in manjaro for my T440p, can't make it work due to a syntax error. I'm a newcomer to linux in general but if someone can point what I did wrong, I'd be more than glad

" options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1 "

when I make the /etc/thinkfan.conf file it asks for it spits out an error...

thinkfan

ERROR: /etc/thinkfan.conf:1: Invalid syntax: options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1 ^

thanks @dude, i have no idea how that happened. running arch. installing pkgconf solved it!

@anthezium This is just a guess, but your output says you don't have pkgconfig installed. I'm not sure why, since it's part of core. Are you running Arch or Manjaro? Could pkgconfig be the reason for the build failure? Try installing that and let me know if it fixes the issue. Thanks

Hey, when I try to build this it fails to find yaml-cpp (same for thinkfan-git). Any ideas?

A full upgrade + reinstalling thinkfan resolved the "undefined symbol" issue. Thanks jodizzle!

got it to work thanks!

Not sure why you are getting that error. If you clone the package repository, you can see thinkfan.install is present. Which directory are you running makepkg from?

Getting the following error:

makepkg -p thinkfan ==> ERROR: install file (thinkfan.install) does not exist or is not a regular file.
