Re: fan monitoring and control

What is "system monitor"?
What does lmsensors report?
Do you have the pwm devices?
What kernel modules did you load?
Any relevant messages in dmesg?

Re: fan monitoring and control

https://github.com/paradoxxxzero/gnome- … tor-applet

that is system-monitor. it is a gnome shell extension which displays the status of cpu's memory, temperatures, and fan speeds, etc.  in the status bar

sensors returns this 

[coretemp-isa-0000]

<<<<<< it seems to not identify something here, or is this device name??

[Adapter: ISA adapter]
[Package id 0:  +51.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)]
[Core 0:        +51.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)]
[Core 1:        +51.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)]
[Core 2:        +49.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)]
[Core 3:        +49.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)]

[asus-isa-0000]    <<<<<<< same thing here????
[Adapter: ISA adapter] 
[cpu_fan:        0 RPM] 

<<<<<<< no rpm but my fan operates fine

[pch_skylake-virtual-0]
[Adapter: Virtual device]
[temp1:        +59.5°C ] 

[iwlwifi-virtual-0]
[Adapter: Virtual device]

[acpitz-virtual-0]
[Adapter: Virtual device]
[temp1:        +52.0°C  (crit = +98.0°C)]

not sure how to answer your pwm question....

i tried both of these methods under Asus here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fa … us_laptops but haven't fully figured out the second part on image creation....

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mk … activation

running dmesg returns this result seems relevant....

[    8.562587] ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-mvm-rs']

[    8.563049] thermal thermal_zone2: failed to read out thermal zone (-5)]

edit: what is TGN'ed??

Re: fan monitoring and control

Hello!

Have you tried this?

WARNING READ THIS - Before trying the "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" suggestion!
