Public bug reported: Filed a bug report as per question: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/662421
I'm trying to run lm_sensors on my brand new motherboard (Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming-CF) using the Z370 chipset, and according to the author/maintainer of lm_sensors/it87 driver, fan controls would be supported by chip it8686. Currently such chip is supported only in it87 version https://github.com/groeck/it87; unfortunately both Ubuntu's new LTS Bionic and Torvalds' repositories have got an outdated version of this driver (and possible lm_sensors itself): * http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-bionic.git/tree/drivers/hwmon/it87.c * https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/hwmon/it87.c Can you please update Bionic (at least) to feature this updated driver? Controlling fans speed and other motherboard parameters would be great, especially on new hardware. Thanks!
