I own a Dell G15 5511. The G15 series is a budget-friendly version of Alienware
series.
My problem is I can't get the fan speed using either lm-sensors or GNOME
applets (GNOME extensions Vitals or System Monitor).
I think I find out why: the dell-smm-hwmon and i8k kernel modules don't support
G15 series (or even Alienware). They support Latitude, XPS, Inspiron and other
series, but not G15/Alienware (I think is the same wiring).
The need is to open a kernel bug to add support for this product lines. I tried
to open an issue in Kernel's Bugzilla, but it said to me to look up for
distro's issue tracking. Since I use Ubuntu, here I am.
I will be happy to provide any command exit and execute any debug procedure you
may need.
