[SOLVED] amdgpu-fan.service: Start request repeated too quickly.

Hello!

When I played a game again, I noticed that the fans from my RX6600XT aren't really rotating as I configured them.
Executing

sudo systemctl status amdgpu-fan.service

Gives me the following:

× amdgpu-fan.service - amdgpu fan controller
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/amdgpu-fan.service; disabled; preset: disabled)
     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2023-05-07 06:17:35 CEST; 22min ago
   Duration: 43ms
    Process: 5167 ExecStart=/usr/bin/amdgpu-fan (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
   Main PID: 5167 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
        CPU: 43ms

May 07 06:17:35 TORNAX-MAIN systemd[1]: Failed to start amdgpu fan controller.

I tried to fix it with

sudo systemctl reset-failed amdgpu-fan.service
sudo systemctl start amdgpu-fan.service

but I'm still getting the same issue.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Have you rebuild it against the latest version of python?

No. I'm using `paru` as my aur helper and there doesn't seem to be an update to `amdgpu-fan`.

Which is expected that you're aware enough of these things to do that, reinstall it with parus --rebuild option

It doesn't matter that there is no update, since the python version has been updated from 3.10 to 3.11 all packages that depend on python need to be rebuilt to use the new version. For unofficial packages (e.g. from AUR) you have to do it manually (maybe there's an option to do that with paru, but I don't know since I don't use it).

EDIT: Damn, too late

AUR helpers are rarely helpful. Use makepkg
