@NotSure You are trying to use some patch code present in the comments without hitting te same issue. Don't do that! It seems you don't know what you are doing and this is bad if u are playing with your fan. Please, read all the documentation of this software in /usr/share/doc/thinkfan/ and follow it precisely

I have change this: 1. added a rule like smldis do /etc/udev/rules.d/10-myuser.rules SUBSYSTEM=="platform", KERNEL=="thinkpad_hwmon", TAG+="systemd" 2. added the file /etc/systemd/system/thinkfan.service [Unit] Description=Thinkfan Daemon - simple and lightweight fan control program #After=basic.target [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/thinkfan -n -b 1 -s 3 [Install] #WantedBy=multi-user.target WantedBy=sys-devices-platform-thinkpad_hwmon.device 3. and this are my conf for thinkfan /etc/thinkfan.conf hwmon /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1/temp3_input hwmon /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input hwmon /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1/temp2_input #(FAN_LEVEL, LOW, HIGH) (0, 0, 62) (1, 50, 68) (3, 60, 74) (7, 72, 80) (127, 78, 32767) Where is my fault? Thanks for your help.

@NotSure For now you run it trought systemd? In that case u should create a file in /etc/systemd/system/thinkfan.service that overrides the default one

Hello, I need help =( i try to setup thinkfan with my Thinkpad T530 and all is good but: - how can i change rule for exampe thinkfan -s 3 -b my aim is to start thinkfan not with default settings

maybe is better also to use Type=forking ExecStart=/usr/sbin/thinkfan PIDFile=/var/run/thinkfan.pid ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID for section [service] like suggested in the thinkfan sources

Hi, I'm having some issues with systemd trying running thinkfan before thermal devices are exposed. My setup is a thinkpad T500. I came up with this solution, asking for review: 1 - added a rule that expose the device to systemd /etc/udev/rules.d/10-myuser.rules SUBSYSTEM=="platform", KERNEL=="thinkpad_hwmon", TAG+="systemd" 2 - added the file /etc/systemd/system/thinkfan.service [Unit] Description=Thinkfan Daemon - simple and lightweight fan control program #After=basic.target [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/thinkfan -n -s5 -q [Install] #WantedBy=multi-user.target WantedBy=sys-devices-platform-thinkpad_hwmon.device Is this solution better than just a udev rule like TEST{444}=="/proc/acpi/ibm/thermal", ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}="thinkfan.service"

Hi notizblock, Thanks for your reply. Ok, the segfault ocurred because in my previous config I didn't declare the tp_fan and tp_thermal variables. With these variables in the config my previous configuration values are working again :) Thanks for your help.

Hi s1gk1ll, I use the following »simple« config, maybe it works for you too: tp_fan /proc/acpi/ibm/fan tp_thermal /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal (0, 0, 55) (1, 48, 60) (2, 50, 61) (3, 52, 63) (4, 56, 65) (5, 59, 66) (6, 61, 66) (7, 63, 32767)

Hi FALKER, everyone, The recent update broke my "simple" config. I get a segfault using this configuration now, everything was perfect before: -- (0, 0, 54) (1, 50, 58) (2, 54, 62) (3, 58, 66) (4, 62, 70) (5, 66, 74) (6, 70, 78) (7, 67, 32767) -- I tried to create a new "complex" configuration and get an error saying that I need 9 temps but only got 8, I removed the sensor entry related with the missing one and the config was accepted: -- root@tp ~ # cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal temperatures: 37 40 30 -128 50 -128 29 -128 40 44 31 -128 -128 -128 -128 -128 -- The problems is that I'm not able to get the previous behaviour with the complex config, can someone try to help me adapting the previous simple config to the new complex one? Thanks.
