Package: thinkfan Version: 0.8.0-1 Severity: grave It looks like starting from version 0.8.0 this program no longer works at all.
------------------------ # /usr/sbin/thinkfan -n WARNING: Using safe but wasteful way of setting PWM value. Check README to know more. WARNING: You're using simple temperature limits without correction values, and your fan will only start at 63 °C. This can be dangerous for your hard drive. sleeptime=5, tmax=57, last_tmax=57, biased_tmax=57 -> fan="level 0" setfan_sysfs: Error writing to /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1: Invalid argument Cleaning up and resetting fan control. # ------------------------ It seems to attempt writing "level 0" into /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1, which of course fails, because only integer values are allowed there: # echo "level 0" > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1 -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # echo "0" > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1 # (worked) I am kind of amazed how this kind of error could possibly have been introduced in the first place. -- With respect, Roman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Stallman had a printer, with code he could not see.
