[Bug 200449] Re: i8k fan speed values are wrong
There is no solution to this bug at the moment as there is no doc that describes how to interpret the values that the module 'i8k' reads. There is the possibility of multiplying the result of 'i8k' reads by a fixed value, but whether it will function or not is a guess. Some people experience good results with this approach but the values might not be correct. Perhaps they are acceptable. To the available docs over the internet, I could not find any one that is related to this subject about Dell hardware. If someone has any guindance, please share. So, now, I consider this bug as 'won't fix' for the moment. But I'd like to add that, although the speed values are wrong, the temperature values are totally right, and this package fulfill all necessities of many Dell laptop models. ** Changed in: i8kutils Status: Confirmed = Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200449 Title: i8k fan speed values are wrong To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/i8kutils/+bug/200449/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Affects me too, Dell Latitude E7440. Loading with module parameter: sudo modprobe i8k force=1 fan_mult=1 fixes the problem for me as well. (Remove the module, 'modprobe -r i8k', before adding it with the new parameter for the parameter to take effect.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200449 Title: i8k fan speed values are wrong To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/i8kutils/+bug/200449/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For those of you with newer motherboards set the i8k module parameter fan_mult to 1 when you load it.

[Bug 200449] Re: i8k fan speed values are wrong
Hello again! That was fast, I know but I think I found the solution: it seems that i8k is using a I8K_FAN_MULT=30 multiplicator for the fan speed, but newer motherboards already does that, so if using the gnome sensors applet adjust the sensor value multiplier under it's preferences at 0.033 ( the value comes from 1/30). Now my fan speed is 3005RPM which is a way more trusted value indeed! Where I got this stuff from: http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/3/12/155 Now the question is how could the i8k be patched not to show the value multiplied on certain motherboards/bioses? -- i8k fan speed values are wrong https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200449 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also can confirm this bug. I am using a Dell Inspiron 8100 with the the latest BIOS and Hardy with the 2.6.24-18 kernel. i8kfan won't let me read the RPM values or control the fans.
