Re: Thinkfan T430 not working
I have no need to control fan speeds on the fly. Have you installed lm sensors yet

Re: Thinkfan T430 not working
And yet systemd is so simple...
It doesn't work because in the newer models the file
/proc/acpi/ibm/thermal
is no longer available. The temperature sensors are at a different location in the Sysfs.
Install the package lm-sensors as written by roky.

Re: Thinkfan T430 not working
@ rokytnji.1 & male Thanks for trying to help with this, but fast getting over it..like the fan
This is after running sensors-detect and editing the thinkfan.conf file. and a cpu temp of 40c and hdd temp 39c
The fan runs at about 2400 rpm on startup if I open web browser it go 3500 rpm
This my /etc/thinkfan.conf
This after setting up and reboot..
This very annoying

You can't just apply the T61p's shift thresholds to your T430.KoO wrote:Code: Select all

Look for examples on the net or in /usr/share/doc/thinkfan/example/ and the README.Debian
